I am in desperate need of help.  I have volunteered to be the player/agent for the local Little League organization.  This position is responisble for registration, team rosters, scheduling of games, etc.  All the aforemention tasks are completed with the assistance of SOFTWARE called League Administration Software (LAS).  This Little League purchased this software many years ago - it runs on Windows 3.1.

The previous player/agent e-mailed me a zipped folder containing files that included the ability to set up the LAS on my computer.  My computer runs Windows XP Home.

I was given the following instructions for installation:

1.  Unzip folder and place contents in its own folder in the c: drive

2.  Add the line FILES=200 in the config.sys in the root of c - the program will not run unless this occurs

3.  run the program with LAS.BAT

4.  drag an MS-DOS shortcut icon (for LAS) to my desktop


I was able to accomplish 1.
I do not know how to do 2. or 3.
I have done 4.

When I double click on the shortcut icon, I am taken to a black screen for a moment.  Another screen then pops up and states that I must add the info stated in 2..  This screen also has a red box in the LOWER half that indicates that an "alias" system not found.  I have the option of clicking on cancel or ignore words.

I can't help but think that there is just maybe one or two small steps I am missing.  I have spent hours trying to figure it out.  

Any help would be greatly appeciated.
