For help on running TOTAL RECALL print the HELP.TXT file. For more
information on TOTAL RECALL print the README.TXT file. To Register
TOTAL RECALL print the ORDER.TXT file and use it as a blank order form.
1. System Requirements
=========================
To run TOTAL RECALL all you need is an IBM compatible computer, 640K of
memory, 1 or 2 floppy drives high density drives (hard disk recommended
but not necessary), any kind of monitor or video card, and MS-DOS 2.0 or
later.
If you wish to use PCX picture files with your entries you will almost
have to have a hard disk due to the large size of most graphics files.
1) (You may not need to perform this first step unless you wish to
optimize your system performance or have DOS 3.2 or earlier). You
should have a file called CONFIG.SYS in your top-level directory (or
on the system disk from which you boot-up if you don't have a hard
drive). Edit the file CONFIG.SYS and add the following two
statements to it:
FILES=20
BUFFERS=8
If you don't have a CONFIG.SYS file in your top-level directory, copy
the one included with the TOTAL RECALL disk.
2) Make sure that the file COMMAND.COM is in the DOS path or in the top
directory.
3) If you use memory resident programs or TSRs you may have problems
running TOTAL RECALL due to its large memory requirements or other
conflicts. If so, do not load any memory resident programs at
boot-up.
2. Users With a Hard Disk Drive
==================================
1) Create a working directory, get into that directory, and copy all
TOTAL RECALL files from the distribution disk to that directory as
follows:
C:
CD\
MD RECALL
CD RECALL
COPY A:*.*
2) Run the program by typing:
TR3
Note: The GO TO DOS option will not work unless you have a system disk
in the default path.
3. Users With One 3.5" Disk Drive (No Hard Disk)
===================================================
Copy the contents of the distribution disk to a working disk and then do
your work entirely from that disk without any further disk swapping.
1) Place the original distribution (source) disk in drive A: (or B:).
2) Type the following:
DISKCOPY A: A:
3) Swap your working (destination) disk as instructed.
4. Users With 1 HD 5.25" Disk Drive (No Hard Disk)
=====================================================
Follow the same instructions as for 1.3 above.
5. Users With One 360K (DD) 5.25" Drive (No Hard Disk)
=========================================================
You will not be able to run version 3.30 or later of TR on a system with
only a low density 5.25" drive and no hard disk. You can call Zoft
Systems and request an earlier version.
6. Users With 2 (HD) Floppy Disk Drives (No Hard Disk)
=========================================================
Use drive A: to hold the main program TR.EXE and to use drive B: to hold
your SUBJECT FILES.
1) Copy TR.EXE to a system disk. (This is necessary in order for the GO
TO DOS option to work). To create a system disk, format a disk with:
FORMAT A:/S
2) Copy TR.EXE to the newly created disk.
3) Insert the new disk into drive A: and start to run by typing:
A:\TR3
4) Insert a blank formatted disk into drive B:
5) Whenever the program asks you for a Path, type
B:
7. Running the Program
=========================
1) Run the program by typing:
TR3
2) From here on everything is menu-driven and self-explanatory. Make
menu selections by a) using arrow keys to move highlight bar to
choice and pressing RETURN or b) pressing the first letter of desired
choice.
3) You can customize the colors and the sound from the CUSTOMIZE MENU.
Your new set-up will be saved automatically to disk.
Note the following:
-------------------
The following files must be in the same directory as the main TOTAL
RECALL program (TR.EXE) that you run or load from:
TEST.LOG
QUOTES.DAT
CUSTOM3.MEM
README.TXT
HELP.TXT
INSTALL.TXT
SUBJECTS.TXT
[Esc] means to press the key marked "Esc". This will usually quit
or exit whatever you are doing at the time.
[^W] means press the key marked "Ctrl" together with the letter W.
