AUTHOR: ------- MICRO DATA ASSIST 2701-C, West 15th Suite 149 Plano, Texas 75075 (214) 736-3668 dbf_DOC - Version 1.03 Copyright 1989,90,91 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED REGISTRATION FEE: $20.00 MODIFYING THE ENVIRONMENT: -------------------------- The 'dbf_DOC' application program may require more intensive disk utilization than other programs you are currently using. DOS permits you to alter the environment to facilitate this intensive disk utilization. It is recommended that you create a CONFIG.SYS file (if the file is not there already) which contains the following two statements. FILES=20 BUFFERS=8 DOS looks for the CONFIG.SYS file each time the computer is turned on (or "rebooted"). When the file is found, the operating system alters the environment corresponding to the contents of the file. ******************************** INSTALLING 'dbf_DOC' ON SYSTEMS WITH A HARD DISK DRIVE: -------------------------------------------------------- The diskette that your copy of 'dbf_DOC' was distributed to you on should not be used for running of 'dbf_DOC'. You should first make a back-up copy of the distribution disk and then install 'dbf_DOC' on either your hard disk or floppy disk system. We recommended that you create a sub-directory that will contain the 'dbf_DOC' program and distribution master files. The following DOS commands will create a sub-directory called 'dbf_DOC': C>CD\ C>MD\dbf_DOC Once you have created the sub-directory, select the new sub- directory by entering: C>CD\dbf_DOC Insert the 'dbf_DOC' distribution disk into drive 'A'. Next, copy the contents of your distribution disk on to your hard disk by executing the following command: C>COPY A:*.* C: Remove your 'dbf_DOC' distribution disk from drive 'A'. Reboot your system in order to load the new values in your CONFIG.SYS file. Make your 'dbf_DOC' sub-directory your current directory: C>CD\dbf_DOC Load 'dbf_DOC' in order to initialize your data files. C>dbf_DOC Upon completion of your system initialization you will be returned to your system prompt. Reload 'dbf_DOC' in order to start using it. C>dbf_DOC ******************************** INSTALLING 'dbf_DOC' ON A DISKETTE --------------------------------- The diskette that your copy of 'dbf_DOC' was distributed to you on should not be used for running of 'dbf_DOC'. You should first make a back-up copy of the distribution disk and then install 'dbf_DOC' on either your hard disk or floppy disk system. In order to run 'dbf_DOC' on a floppy disk system you will need two disk drives. One drive to contain your program disk and the other to contain your data files. ** NOTE - THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR BOTH THE 'dbf_DOC' PROGRAM AND YOUR DATA FILES ON THE SAME FLOPPY DISK. * Insert the 'dbf_DOC' distribution disk in drive 'A' and select the 'A' drive by entering "A:" (return). Insert a blank FORMATTED DISK into drive 'B'. This is the disk that your working copy of 'dbf_DOC' will be copied to. Enter the following command: A>COPY A:*.EXE B: Upon completion of this copy operation remove your disk from drive 'A' and replace with the new program disk in drive 'B'. Load a new diskette for data files into drive 'B'. Reboot your system then execute dbf_DOC.EXE in order to initialize your system. Load 'dbf_DOC' in order to initialize your data files. A>dbf_DOC Upon completion of your system initialization you will be returned to your system prompt. Reload 'dbf_DOC' in order to start using it. A>dbf_DOC ******************************** MICRO DATA ASSIST DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES RELATING TO THIS SOFTWARE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED.
