Using the ebook generator with Win95 or Win98 | Anno Domini 2000

## Step-by-Step Guide

Ok. For all that haven't any idea on how to setup the TIGCC Tools Suite to make ebooks on a Win95/Win98 machine here is a simple guide.
Suppose you have installed the TIGCC Tools Suite to drive C:

1. Add the bin directory of the TIGCC Tools Suite to your path by editing c:\autoexec.bat. Somewhere in this file there should be a line like this:
   set PATH=c:\something;c:\something2
   At the end of this line add the path to the TIGCC Tools Suite binary directory. In our above example the line should read like this:
   set PATH=c:\something;c:\something2;c:\tt\bin
2. reboot your machine so that the changes becomes active
3. open a DOS box and type: tthelp. If you don't get a list of all TIGCC Tools you have done something wrong in point (1). Please check again and/or check the documentation of your system. If you get a list of the TIGCC Tools you have the "most complicated" step solved.
4. to generate an ebook make a directory and copy the textfile you want to convert to an ebook into it. Please read the HTML file ebook-generator-usage.html and ebook-metatags-specification.html in the docs directory for more details on how to use the generator itself.
5. Suppose you have a textfile named "mydoc.txt" and you have a title image file with name "myimg.bin". Further suppose you want that the generated ebook is in variable myebk and the text "my first book" should show up in the ebook selection screen. Open a DOS box and navigate to the directory where your files are. Then just type:
   ttebkgen -t myimg.bin mydoc.txt myebk "my first book"
   This should generate your ebook. If there goes anything work please type ttebkgen without any parameter and read CAREFULLY the usage information !!

In the examples directory you can find the "source" of Alice in Wonderland and a batchfile (build.bat) which generates the ebook. Have a look on it!
I hope this helps.
