- Welcome to dBMAN by VersaSoft!
-
- Thank you for purchasing dBMAN. We sincerely hope you will find
- this product helpful in solving your data base needs.
-
- The information that follows will help you to start using dBMAN
- and the sample programs. If you need further assistance, please
- call your dealer.
-
- FIRST THINGS FIRST!! MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR ORIGINAL DISKS!!
-
- The first thing you want to do is make a backup of your
- original disks. While on the desktop, format a blank disk
- and copy all the files from the dBMAN Program Disk to the
- new disk. Do the same again for the Sample Program Disk.
- Place the originals in a safe place for use at a later time.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
-
- Once you have the backup disk ready, you are ready to start
- dBMAN. dBMAN needs to have TOS in ROM, or have at least a
- megabyte of RAM. (The equivalent of a 1040st.) If you don't
- have either of these, please see your dealer for an upgrade.
-
- NOTE: If you have a color monitor, make sure you are in 80
- column mode (Medium Resolution) before you start. If you
- don't know how to choose your resolution, please consult
- your Atari manuals or call your dealer.
-
- CREATING A DATA DISKETTE:
-
- From the desktop, format a blank disk and copy the files
- ERR.DAT, ERRHELP.DAT, and HELP.DAT from the dBMAN Program
- Disk to the new disk.
-
- STARTING dBMAN:
-
- You will need to start TOS first.
-
- Floppy Disk Systems:
-
- Remove the TOS disk, put in the dBMAN disk and double
- click on DBMAN.TTP. Press return when it prompts for
- parameters.
-
- Now when the dBMAN screen comes up, you are all set to
- begin. At this point, if you want to save your own
- data, you can remove the dBMAN Program Disk and insert
- your data disk.
-
- Hard Disk Systems:
-
- If you want to run dBMAN from a Folder (Sub-directory),
- using the desktop, create a folder and copy all the
- files from the dBMAN Program Disk (and the Tutorial
- Disk, if you want) to that folder.
-
- You may now double click on DBMAN.TTP. Press return
- when it prompts for parameters.
