These installation instructions assume that you have a working installation of MS-DOS and Windows on your computer. The software doesn't have a setup utility, however the installation is easily done in a few steps.

Preparing the directory structure

Tricarb Monitor uses one directory for its binary file and help file and a data subdirectory for the output files. The exact location of the Tricarb directory doesn't matter, for reasons of simplicity I suggest to use C:\TRICARB. You can create these directories from within Windows File Manager or from the DOS command line. In the latter case you would have to enter:

   C:\>md tricarb
    C:\>cd tricarb
    C:\TRICARB>md data
