Preparing the PC API Files
There are three ways to prepare the files. If your PC is connected to a
NetWare file server, the files can be moved from the SYS account to your
NetWare file server for installation. Otherwise, you can use FTP or
DSCOPY to move the files to your PC for installation.

1. From your PC, attach to your file server and login as supervisor.
The default drive for NetWare is F:
F:\LOGIN> login supervisor
2. Establish the directory for the PC API files:
F:\SYSTEM> CD \
F:\> mkdir HP-PCAPI
3. Logon to your server as MGR.NETWARE and execute the following
commands, replacing Server with the name of your HP3000 server, to
copy the PC API self-extracting file into your NetWare file
