FAST START INFORMATION FOR NEW USERS:
(If you already use an earlier version of the program do NOT copy your
data files per below - this destroys existing data which you entered -
see OLD USERS below).
For a floppy drive system- Boot Dos per your Dos manual --Insert the
Program Disk in drive a: -- Use your diskcopy command to make a backup
copy: diskcopy a: a: . Repeat for the Log/Library Disk (If 360K used)
if you receive extra log/library disk.
For a hard drive system- Insert Program Disk in Drive a: -- Make a
directory such as 'Fish' or 'Hunt' with the command: md c:\fish - Copy
files to this directory: copy a:\*.* c:\fish. Repeat for Log/Library
disk (if 360K disks or if special log/library disks received).
OLD USERS:
For Hard Drive Users- The only old files which you want to reuse (not copy
new) are files without an extension (the three letters after the first
eight) in the file name e.g. 'equipmen' or 'packing', and for which you
have data entered already. Use the command 'XCOPY a:\*.* c:\fish /P'
to selectively choose files to copy over to the same directory as you
used before. The /P option of XCOPY is important; it causes XCOPY to
ask you before it copies a file.
For floppy drive users- Use the instructions for NEW USERS but
use different disks to hold your data. Then when finished insert your
old disk in drive a: and copy the data files which you have already
entered your data in. The data files have no extension, for example,
'equipmen' or 'packing' or 'recipes'. Use the command "copy a:\recipes
b:", where 'recipes' is a file you have data in and b: contains the new
program files. Use the 'dir a:\*.' command to find their names.
TO RUN THE PROGRAM:
For floppy drive systems- Insert the program disk in drive a: or b:.
Type in a: or b: as appropriate and press enter. Type in 'fish' and
Enter to bring the system up. Read the 'Info.txt' library
file to see how to use multiple disks when entered data gets large.
For a hard drive- type in command 'cd c:\fish' and press enter.
(Substitute the directory name you use); then type 'fish' and enter
to run the program.

YOU MUST GO INTO SECTION 1 FIRST TO SET THE CORRECT PATH.
---------------------------------------------------------
Note: The files with the extension '.dba', 'dat', and 'cfg' must be in
the same directory or path as the '.exe' program i.e. fish.exe, in order
to bring the opening menu up.
