- HELP:
-
- Most of the help available for using DMA is included in the
- ON LINE HELP. You can activate it by pressing the key F1 at any
- time when youre running DMA. When you press it, a help screen
- on the current subject appear.
-
-
-
- PRINTING:
-
- You must have the "ARIAL" true type font installed to print
- with DMA. It is a standard font that comes with your windows
- distribution kit.
-
-
-
- MAKING BACKUP OF YOUR DATA:
-
- It would be wise to copy your data to a floppy disk, to do so,
- just copy all the files in your DMA directory (except the ".EXE" and
- ".ESL" files) to your floppy disk. It should easily fit in a 1.44
- Meg floppy disk.
-
- I have included a batch file in the package that will backup your
- data if you execute it. The name is of the batch file is "BACKDMA.BAT".
-
-
- RESTORING FROM YOUR BACKUP:
-
- If you had a crash and you want your data back, here are the
- steps to follow:
-
- 1- Reinstall DMA from the original version.
-
- 2- Execute the batch file "RESTDMA.BAT" included in the DMA
- package to restore your data back.
-
-
- It will work just fine if you copy all the data files back.
- However...i am using a relational technology and my program doesnt
- like it when we play with the relations between files, so do not
- play too much with the data files.
-
-
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS:
-
- MACH32 ATI VGA accelerator card users: Turn off the "DEVICE BITMAP"
- from the windows flexdesk control panel...if you dont...your DMA icons
- wont look fine! This option is available in the version 1.54 of
- the flexdesk control panel or later, you must download the new
- version of flexdesk from your local BBS.
-
- If you still experience problems with the display, try the
- standard VGA display of windows...then...if everything is allright
- ...get an unbugged version of your video driver!
