The LSDos-3.5.2.zip archive file contains the executable files that are needed to run LSD.
Once the archive file has been unzipped
and its content stored in the LSDos-3.5.2 directory,
a command window has to be opened.
From the "Start" menu, click on "Run", type "cmd"
in the text line and validate with the "OK" button.
If the archive was unzipped in the "Documents" directory,
then the "cd Documents\LSDos-3.5.2" command
changes the current directory
and provides access to the LSD commands.
In order to use LSD, please read the manual.
The display and printing of solution files in Postscript(R) format
requires
Ghostscript
and then
GSview
to be installed.
Postscript(R) molecule drawings that are produced by "genpos"
are then viewed by a double-click on their icon.
The "solve.bat" script runs the visualizer if the
"gsview64.exe" file is located in the
"C:\Program Files\Ghostgum\gsview" directory.
Otherwise, the script may easily be edited.
Solution drawing improvement can be done with "m_edit.tcl" or "m_edit.bat"
but requires
Tcl/Tk
to be installed.
The "m_edit.bat" script works only if wish.exe is present in the
directory that contains the binaries of Tcl (C:\ActiveTcl\bin).
The "m_edit.tcl" script can directly be run by a double-click on its icon.
Ghostscript, Ghostview, and Tck/Tk can be easily obtained by downloading LSDos-externals.zip
