This diskette contains the Treasury Department's bond pricing
application (CRV) which allows microcomputer users to determine current
redemption values for Series EE/E savings bonds and savings notes by entering
denomination, issue date, and series information. The program was designed
for use with an IBM-compatible microcomputer with MS or PC-DOS, Version 2.0
or higher and at least 384K of memory. As the program runs, you should follow
the instructions given in the prompts and enter the required information. The
program will return the current redemption value for each item as well as
provide a running total of the redemption values and interest accumulated for
each bond pricing transaction.
Installing and Running CRV from a Hard (Fixed) Disk
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
Although CRV can be run from the provided diskette, we strongly suggest
that you install and run it from a hard disk drive. CRV will respond
much faster on a hard disk.
To Install CRV on a Hard Disk Drive
───────────────────────────────────
1. Insert the program diskette in a 3 1/2", 1.44 megabyte diskette drive.
2. Change the default drive to the drive in which you have inserted the
diskette and type:
install
and press ENTER.
For example, if the diskette is in drive A, type:
a:
and press ENTER, then at the A:\> prompt, type:
install
and press ENTER.
3. INSTALL asks the user to provide appropriate responses to a series of
questions. After the answers have been provided, INSTALL will copy
files from the diskette to your hard disk drive. The INSTALL program
will display the file names as the files are copied.
4. When the installation is successfully completed, a message will
indicate that the files have been copied onto the hard disk drive and
you will hear three beeps to indicate that the installation routine is
complete.
To Run CRV from the Hard Disk
─────────────────────────────
1. At the hard disk drive prompt, change to the directory where the
program files were installed. For example, if the program files were
installed using the default settings, i.e., on the "C" drive in a
directory called "CRV," at the C:\> prompt you would type:
cd\crv
and press ENTER.
2. At the C:\CRV> prompt, type:
crv
and press ENTER to start CRV.
3. As the program runs, follow the instructions given in the prompts
and enter the requested information. The program offers a series of
function keys, including a "HELP" function, which are listed in a
menu at the bottom of the bond pricing screen.
4. When you conclude a pricing transaction, exit from the program and,
at the C:\CRV> prompt, type:
cd\
and press ENTER if you wish to return to the root directory on the
hard disk.
Running CRV from a Diskette Drive
═════════════════════════════════
1. Insert the program diskette in a 3 1/2", 1.44 megabyte diskette drive.
2. Change the default drive to the drive in which you have inserted the
diskette. For example, if the diskette is in drive A, type
a:
and press ENTER.
3. At the A:\> prompt, type
crv
and press ENTER to start CRV.
4. As the program runs, follow the instructions given in the prompts and
enter the requested information. The program offers a series of
