Make sure that
TALLY Lock is attached on the printer port and type the following
commands:-
C: Enter
Cd \TALLY
Enter
TALLY
Enter
You may
use Upper-case or
Lower-case letters for
typing above commands. You should type these commands at the MS-DOS,
prompt (i.e. when MS-DOS is waiting for instructions). If the
above method fails, check the
following:-
* Whether TALLY Lock is properly attached on a
working printer port.
* Whether TALLY has been installed.
* Are you in the drive on which TALLY was
installed? It is possible that
TALLY was installed on drive D and you are trying the above in drive C.
If these are
correct, then only a Hardware or Operating System problem can result in a
failure.
Advanced Users: It is possible to run TALLY by
correctly setting the MS-DOS command
search PATH. This would
remove the necessity
of performing the
"CD \TALLY" step. (Check
the usage in
the MS-DOS manual for
environment variable and the use of PATH for further help).
Warning!
Note: TALLY
CANNOT BE STARTED BY ANY OTHER NAME. Thus, the
command TALLY, \TALLY
or C:TALLY may not
work or behave
unpredictably.
Renaming the
program will also render it unusable.
