The SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support diskette contains programs and batch command files for both 3270 Emulation and RJE Support. These programs require the IBM Personal Computer DOS. However, there is insufficient space on this diskette to include the IBM Personal Computer DOS. Thus, before you start to set up your configuration file, you must
organize your programs and files to fit on one diskette.
One approach is to create a diskette that contains only
You will need:
• Your DOS diskette
• Your SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support diskette
• Two blank diskettes
• A felt-tip pen
• A supply of gummed labels
Read through the instructions before you start. There are two sets of instructions: the first for a one-drive system, the second for a two-drive system.
For a One-Drive System
The procedure you are about to follow assumes you are starting with your system turned off.
1. Insert your DOS diskette into the drive.
2. Turn on the system.
3. After a few seconds, you will see a message on the screen asking you to enter today's date.
Type the date and then press the Enter key. For example, if today were July 6, 1982, you would enter 7-6-82.
Your version of DOS may also ask for the time by responding:
Current time is OO:xx:xx.xx Enter new time
Enter the time in the form hh:mm:ss.xx where hh is the hours, mm is the minutes, ss is the seconds, and xx is hundredths of a second. (You can omit the :ss.xX: if you wish.)
For example, if the time were 10:45, you would enter 10:45.
You should see a message like this on your screen:

format b:/s
When the message Insert new diskette for drive B: and strike any key when ready appears, remove your DOS diskette. Insert your second blank diskette into the drive and strike any key.
When the message Formatting ... Format complete Format another (YIN)? appears, type n and remove your blank diskette. label this diskette "SNA RJE program master diskette:' 5. You are ready to make a working copy of your
original SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support diskette. To do this, insert your original SNA 3270
When the message Insert diskette for drive A:
and strike any key when ready appears, insert your original SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support diskette into the drive and strike any key.
Keep inserting your original SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support diskette (for drive A) and your SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette (for drive B) until the message File(s) copied appears.
Store your original SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support diskette as a backup and use your diskette labeled "SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskettC:'
6. Copy BASIC. COM from your DOS diskette to your diskette labeled "SNA RJE program master diskette:' To do this, insert your DOS diskette into the drive and type:
copy basic. com b:
When the message Insert diskette for drive B:
and strike any key when ready appears, remove your DOS diskette. Insert your diskette labeled "SNA RJE program master diskette" into the drive and strike any key.
When the message File(s) copied appears, remove your SNA RJEprogram master diskette.
7. Copy the RJE programs from your SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette to your SNA RJE program master diskette. To do this, insert your diskette labeled "SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette"
into the drive and type:
When the message Insert diskette for drive A:
and strike any key when ready appears, just strike a key.
The system responds:
The SNA RJE programs will now be copied to drive B:
Strike any key when ready ...
When the message Insert diskette for drive B and strike any key when ready appears, remove your SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette. Insert your diskette labeled "SNA RJE program master diskette" into the drive and strike any key.
When the message Insert diskette for drive A:
and strike any key when ready appears, remove your SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette. Insert your diskette labeled "SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette" into the drive and strike any key. Keep inserting your SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette (for drive A) and your SNA RJE program master diskette (for drive B) until the following message appears:
Your program diskette should now contain the following RJE programs: If you see an error message you do not understand or if you need more information on the DOS commands,
For a Two-Drive System
The procedure you are about to follow assumes you are starting with your system turned off.
1. Insert your DOS diskette into drive A.
2. Turn on the system.
3. After a few seconds, you will see a message on the screen asking you to enter today's date.
Type the date and then press the Enter key. For example, if today were July 6, 1982, you would enter 7-6-82.

4. First, you should format two blank diskettes.
Note that if you have an IBM Personal Computer with a 160K byte diskette as drive A and a 320K byte diskette as drive B, you must use format b:/l to format a diskette that you can use in either drive. To do this, leave your DOS diskette in drive A. Insert your first blank diskette into drive Band type:
format b: or format b:/1
When the message Insert new diskette for drive B: and strike any key when ready appears, just strike a key.
When the message Formatting ... Format complete Format another (YIN)? appears, type n and remove your first diskette. Label this diskette "SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette:' Insert your second diskette into drive B and type:
format b:/s or format b:/s/1
When the message Insert new diskette for drive B: and strike any key when ready appears, just strike a key.
When the message Formatting ... Format complete Format another (YIN)? appears, type n and remove your second diskette. Label this diskette "SNA RJE program master diskette:' 5. You are ready to make a working copy of your
original SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support diskette. To do this, remove your DOS diskette.
Store your original SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support diskette as a backup in a safe place and use your SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette.
6. Copy BASIC.COM from your DOS diskette to your diskette labeled "SNA RJE program master diskette:' To do this, insert your DOS diskette in drive A. Insert your diskette labeled "SNA RJE program master diskette" in drive B and type:
copy basic.com b:

"SNA 3270 Emulation and RJE Support working diskette" in drive A. Leave your SNA RJE program master diskette in drive B and type:
srjecopy
The system responds:
The SNA RJE programs will now be copied to drive B:
Strike any key when ready ...
Strike any key. When completed, the system responds:
