Turbo Pascal 5.5

I downloaded the free copy of TB 5.5 from museum site. I looked inside
the zipped folder and have two folders, disk 1 and disk 2. I tried
extracting the zip folder but did not work. All I have is another folder
with two folders, labeled disk1 and disk 2, and it appears to be
identical to the zip folder. In the disk 1 folder is an install.exe
program so I tried to install it but the program request an oop disk to
complete the installation. Does anyone have a clue how to install this
software. I read the readme file, but no help.

TIA
LS.

Jon,
Sorry, but I don't understand your instructions. Can you explain in more detail.
Thanks so much.

cd disk1
install

Re:Turbo Pascal 5.5

Thanks Jon, it worked! TP 5.5 is loaded on my harddrive in it's own folder.
But I have another problem. I click on Turbo.exe and receive the following message:
Invalid Configuration File:Turbo.TP. I hit Esc and it takes me into the program. I can
access files from the keyboard but not with the mouse. Does the mouse not work with TP
5.5? Also, I expected an on-line manual but no such luck. Can you explain the above?
Thanks for the help.
LS.
