HT1000 RSS Help

[wmoreland]

Hello, I have recently acquired an IBM 390E Pentium II running Windows 98 for the sole purpose of programming HT1000 radios. I apologize in advance for being so computer illiterate, but I am having trouble running the HT1000 RSS when I restart in MS-DOS mode. This is what I have done so far: Downloaded the HT1000 RSS zip file, Converted the zip file to exe, Loaded the exe file onto a 3.5" floppy, Restarted the computer in MS-DOS mode, Loaded the exe file to the hard drive in MS-DOS. This is as far as I'm able to get, I have no idea what to do or what the DOS commands are from this point to be able to run the program in MS-DOS. I have spent many hours searching forums and watching videos on the subject but have not been able to find what I need to do. I did find one detailed write up that stated; once the software is on the hard drive just to simply type HT1000 in the command line and the program should start up. I have never, ever used MS-DOS before and am completely unfamiliar with the commands. I tried to upload a photo of what I was doing on the screen but it won't let me upload it. I will try to type up what it showed:

C:\WINDOWS>COPY B:*.* C:

Insert diskette for drive B: and press any key when ready

B:HT1000.EXE
1 file(s) copied

(Me trying to get it to start up)
C:\WINDOWS>HT1000

__________________________________________________________________________________
Nothing happens just by typing HT1000.
Thanks in advance for any help for this computer illiterate, radio programming newbie.

bad copy

sounds like you don't have all the files

That is a possibility. I’ll have to check that. I also forgot to mention that I did open the file while still in windows just to see if it would open and it did.

Type this exactly as I type, assuming B is your floppy drive.

cd \
md HT1000
B:
copy *.* c:\HT1000
c:
cd \
cd HT1000
HT1000

Also, you can check/change the environment variables, and add the path of C:\HT1000 to PATH so it will launch from anywhere you type 'HT1000' not just the HT1000 directory.

Should be more files then just a exe file to run the rss for that model of radio. Ensure your copying all properly to your hard drive.
