SF 171 for Windows
Version 1
Copyright (c) 1992 by Tom Murrell
This text file briefly describes hardware and software requirements to
run this program. Please use Windows Write to view the Readme.wri file
on this disk for additional information and program instructions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Standard Form 171 for Windows. This program was written
specifically for use with Windows 3.1 and the runtime version 1.53
of Toolbook.
Required Hardware
COMPUTER
We recommend that users of this program have at least a 386 computer
with 4 megabytes of memory. The program will run on a 286 computer
with 3 megabytes of extended memory, but a faster computer is highly
recommended. If you don't have 4 megabytes of memory, please close
all other Windows applications prior to running SF 171 for Windows.
If you have a video card capable of Super VGA resolution, we recommend
running the program in the 16 color mode. The program may be run in the
256 color mode providing you have extra memory and one of the more common
video cards, but it will run notably slower.
EGA graphics systems have a screen aspect ratio that is not supported by
this version of the program.
PRINTERS
This release of the SF 171 program has been tested for use on Hewlett
Packard LaserJet Series II and III printers, and a few Postscript printers.
The program has not been tested on any other printer. The forms are very
complex and contain numerous fonts, lines, and other graphic objects. As
such, it may take a while for the forms to print. Print times can range from
5 to 20 minutes depending upon the printer. Some printers are not capable
of printing the entire form, because they do not have enough memory to
process all the fonts and a full page graphic image at 300 dots per inch.
If your printer will not print the form and the data, you have the option
of printing just the data on a preprinted form. Some HP Laserjet
Series II printers are not capable of printing white text on a black
background. If you printer cannot print white text on a black background,
select "Set Title Boxes to Gray" using the View menu. Without this change,
the white text in the title boxes (i.e. GENERAL INFORMATION or AVAILABILITY
on page 1 of the form) will not print properly. The result will be black
boxes with no text.
NOTE: There may problems printing the form and the data with Series II
printers equipped with only 512k of printer memory.
Please check the form over carefully before submitting it for a job.
