    2. Other useful files you may also want to copy from B1:

IV. Install clock driver and datestamping
    -------------------------------------
    Type the following commands:

        NZCOM
        B3:SETUPZST
         Answer as follows:
          1 - Generate New Time Stamp Program
          1 - DateStamper (tm)
          Load as an RSX below the CCP? (Y[N]) :               N
          Install in NZ-COM User Space? (Y[N]) :               Y
          Location of STAMPS.DAT file [A0:] :                  B3:
          Extract Clock from Library ([Y]/N) :                 N
          Name of User-supplied .REL clock :                   B5:MYZ80CLK.REL
          Module will load NZ-COM User Space. Change? (Y[N]) : N
          Opening Message:                                     <Any text>[RET]
          Name of output file [Default = A0:LDTIM .COM] :      [RET]

         LDTIM
         B3:PUTDS -d=a

    Run PUTDS on every disk you wish to initialize for datestamping, 
    changing "a" to the appropriate drive letter.


V. Installing Backgrounder ii
   --------------------------

        NOTE: My opy of BGii v1.34 was missing LOADBG.COM. I have substituted
        LOADBG.COM from v1.30, which Steven Hirsch was gracious enough to send
        me, and so far it seems to work with v1.34, though it hasn't been
        extensively tested. If there's any instability, go with BGii 1.30.

        NOTE 2: B6: contains copies of SETBG.COM and LOADBGZ.COM that have been
        preconfigured for Kaypro 83/84 terminal type and screen driver, 
        swap file on D:, and ^\ as the BGii SUSPEND key. Quick Install below
        uses these files. If you wish different settings, choose the Manual
        Install instructions.

     QUICK INSTALL. Type the following commands:

        COPY B4:BG.REL
        COPY B4:*.HLP A15:
        COPY B6:SETBG.COM
        COPY B6:LOADBGZ.COM
        PUTBG -d=D
          Note that you will need to rerun this command 
          at every cold boot, since the swap file is on
          a ramdrive.
        LOADBGZ.COM

     MANUAL INSTALL. Type the following commands:

        MLOAD LOADBGZ.COM=B4:LOADBG.COM,B3:BGPATCH.HEX
        COPY B4:BG.REL
        B4:PUTBG -d=a
        LOADBGZ
        D0:
        COPY B4:SETTERM.COM
        COPY B4:LOADBG.COM
        COPY B4:SETBG.COM
        COPY B4:TERMBASE.DAT
        SETTERM
          Choose option B. Select Kaypro 84 (option 14). N to review. Y to install 
          into utilities. Install into SETBG.COM and LOADBG.COM from drive D. Q to
          quit. N to "Another terminal?".
        SETBG
          Answer Y to continue. For Source just press RETURN. Choose Option 1, 1
          again, then 2, then answer Y. For source answer D0:. Then select option
          3, 3 again, then answer Y. Answer D0: again, then select option 1,
          option 0, option 2, then option 4. Type the letter of the drive you 
          wish to set as the location of the BG swap file. Then option 7, type
          the drive/user location you wish for the help files. Then option 0,
          0 again, then 2, then 1. Press <RETURN>. Finally, option 0, then 0
          again to exit.
        MLOAD LOADBGZ.COM=LOADBG.COM,B3:BGPATCH.HEX
        A0:
        COPY B4:BG.REL
        COPY D0:SETBG.COM
        COPY D0:LOADBGZ.COM
        COPY B4:*.HLP x#:
          For "x#:" substitute the location you chose for the .HLP files.
        PUTBG -d=X
          where X is the swap drive you chose. If you set it to a ramdrive
          you will need to rerun this command at every boot.
