WARNING: New versions of Amaster are not compatible with older data files.
If you have been using an older version of Amaster, the registered
version will convert your existing files to the new format.
The shareware version does NOT convert your existing data!
INSTALLING: Copy these files to your hard disk (preferably into a sub-
directory called "AMASTER"). A simple batch file called am.bat
has been provided to run amaster. Place this file in your root
directory or a directory in your path. If you are using DOS 5.0
and use the "DOS=HIGH" command, you may occassionaly see the
message "packed file corrupt". If this happens, change the line
in am.bat that calls amaster to "Loadfix Amaster".

Amaster version 1.06. Please use these values in place of those on page 14.

Pressing the first letter of a menu option will jump the cursor to

it blank and only enter the month and day. Amaster will then display
??? for the age in the display by birthdate table.
