`2English Documentation`
This English Documentation for GeoDOS and
GeoHelpView was translated from German by
`361Bruce Thomas` from May, 2001 until February,
2002 with the help of online translation Web Sites
(specifically - http://babelfish.altavista.com and
http://www.freetranslation.com). The translation
process was also aided by the German to English
translation section of my Readers Digest Great
Encyclopedic Dictionary.
`331Arndt Dettke`, (http://www.godot64.de) the
author of GoDot, provided valuable assistance by
proofreading my translations. Where differences
existed between Arndt's corrections and what is
displayed on the English screen and Help Bubbles
I elected to maintain consistency with what the
English user would see on the screen.
In the translation some adjustment was made to
the text to make up for differences in the
English and German keyboard layouts. The Control
Codes are generated using the `40100 key alone
or in combination with the Commodore key.
Also, all document names were changed to
include a letter 'e' in the name to indicate the
English version of the documentation files. This
means that GDH_Grundlagen and GDeH_Basics
are the same file but the 'e' indicates the
English version.
All other changes to the text of the documentation
are the result of the translation process and an
effort to properly grammatacize the text for
the English Language. No part of the text was
deliberately altered or omitted to the best of
my knowledge with the exception of the addition
of the section on ^`1GeoDOS and Y2K`.
All notices regarding distribution of the original
GeoDOS files and GeoHelpView System pertain
to the English translation as well.
If you find any errors in the English Documentation
please send an e-mail to:

Thank You and enGEOy!

`2Where to Start`
The files contained in this package are just the
ones required for the GeoDOS Help System. The
GeoDOS System itself is available in a separate
package.
To use this English Documentation delete all files
from your existing GeoDOS disk/partition whose
names begin with 'GDH_' (these are the Help
System files). Then, copy all of the files from
this Zip package to your disk/partition, replacing
any files that already exist.
To use the Help System run the file 'GeoHelpView'
(or press the <F1> key while using GeoDOS).
This will open the Main Page of the Help System.
The best place to start to learn about the Help
System is to choose this Red link near the bottom
of the page:
`321GeoHelpView ... The Help System in Detail`
After clicking on this link a different file will
load. This file is the GeoHelpView.eDoc file. You
will see the Table of Contents page for this file
and a lot of links to good info.
To learn how to navigate through the Help
System click on this Green Link:
`351Program Description`
The page that comes up explains the Icons at the
top of the page and how you can navigate
through the Help System.
Another page that helps figure out navigation is
found by pressing the Page 1 Icon at the top of
the screen and then selecting:
`321GeoDOS ................... All About GeoDOS`
Select the Red Icon in the middle:
`3a1`40100
`3a1`40101
GeoDOS 64 V2
Overall Content
When the Table of Contents comes up choose:
`351The Basics of GeoDOS`
When the GeoDOS Basics Table of Contents shows
up use the arrow in the lower right corner to
scroll down the list until you see:
`351Roll arrows and Roll bars`
Click on this link with your Mouse and you will
learn how to use the arrows and display bar
indicator on the right edge of the GeoHelp Screen
(these are very similar to Wheels directory
navigation tools and what you have in The Wave).
Finally, in this package you may notice that
there are two copies of the same file:
GeoHelpView.1e and GeoHelpView.001
I did this to follow my naming convention of
adding a letter 'e' in the file name to indicate
the English version of the Help File. I then found
out that, in order to call up the Help System by
pressing the 'F1' key within GeoDOS the file had
to be called 'GeoHelpView.001'. If you call up the
Help System from within GeoDOS the '.001' file
will be loaded. Once you move into any of the
other files and go back to the Main Help System
Welcome Screen the '.1e' file will be loaded.
Send any feedback to '`321rbthomas`40200`321edmc.net`' and
enGEOy this package.
