«═════════════════════╡ DRIVE I/O ╞═════════════════════════»
└───────────┘
The default drive and sub-directory is the drive where you
installed the AutoDoc.EXE Program and its accompanying
Decor∙Edge Bord`r Information Display Files.
The default drive should be used as the storage location of
your personal custom made Decor∙Edge Bord`r files. Although
AutoDoc will support all operating drives within your system,
the REVIEW and AD∙EDITOR modes will access only the root or
preset sub-directory of the particular drive. AutoDoc auto-
matically returns to the default drive when exiting both the
REVIEW and AD∙EDITOR mode applications.
AutoDoc supports valid sub-directories in the AD∙EDITOR mode
with filespec limited to 25 characters. The REVIEW mode is
designed to mainly work with the default drive {with or
without} a sub-directory and its design concept is intended
to support Drives A:\ and B:\ for reviewing supplementary
Custom Decor∙Edge Bord`s as released. You may copy these
new Bord`r designs to the default drive at the command level
using the DOS Copy command or your favorite copy utility.
** Remember to copy both the *.DET and *.DEB Bord`r files **

«═══════════════════════╡ MONITORS ╞════════════════════════»
┌─────────────────────┴──────────┴─────────────────────┐
╞╡ This information is intended for individuals using a ╞╡
╞╡ copy of AutoDoc that has been previously initialized. ╞╡
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
AutoDoc is designed to operate on Blk/Wht and color composite
(CGA) monitors, as well as EGA and VGA monochrome and color
monitors. If a color-card is installed in your system but
you use a black and white monitor, AutoDoc thinks a color
monitor is in use. Re-Boot your system and at the Command
Line type and <Enter>
╔═══════════╗
║ AUTODOC B ║
╚═══════════╝
AutoDoc will then load and operate in black and white mode.
P.S. You're missing a lot of color !!!!
═════════════════════════════════════════
VGA/EGA monitors operate differently from CGA monitors by
not permitting the user to select screen border colors.
AutoDoc is designed to override certain function areas when
determining a VGA/EGA monitor is in use. Other functions are
also locked out when using black and white monitors.

«══════════════╡ KEYBOARD GRAPHIC CHARACTERS ╞══════════════»
└─────────────────────────────┘
AD∙Editor permits the usage of graphic characters above Ascii
code 127. Keyboards, like many peripherals, vary in design
and manufacturing methods. During final testing our keyboards
produced 126 of 129 characters without incident. Our system
locked-up during the entry of Ascii code 240 and did not
respond to Ascii codes 224 and 253. We do not know why the
lock-up occurred and STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you test your
system keyboard capabilities thoroughly before getting upset
and angry *!#*$@% at us!
Use the Syntax: <Alt ###> [where ### = 127 to 254]

«═════════════╡ DECOR∙EDGE BORD`R CONCEPTS ╞═══════════════»
└────────────────────────────┘
AutoDoc is designed to easily create Decor∙Edge Bord`rs using
a variety of characters and color. Bord`r 00 alone can pro-
duce over 6,600 different Bord`r combinations, limited only
to your imagination.
A Decor∙Edge Bord`r Display consists of two separate files.
The *.DEB file incorporates the Bord`r Design and the *.DET
file represents the text (documentation) and related coding.
AutoDoc will save these two files at the same location.
╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ *** CAUTION *** In the DOS COMMAND MODE ║
╔════╩══════════════════════════════════════════╩═════╗
║ When transferring or copying Decor∙Edge files to ║
║ a different location, be certain to copy BOTH the ║
║ *.DET and *.DEB files. It is essential that BOTH ║
║ files be included within the same drive, directory ║
║ and/or sub-directory. ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Files created with a pure Ascii Word Processor or Text-editor
can be loaded into your custom Decor∙Edge design. If the file
is too large for the selected Bord`r design, AutoDoc displays
a warning message, indicating current allowable parameters.
The loaded file becomes a Decor∙Edge Text (DET) file which
includes formatting and setup coding. The DET files can be
edited and re-saved using AD∙EDITORS "IMPORT" function. How-
ever it CANNOT be re-named due to its internal matrix coding.
▄─────────────────r─e─f─e─r─e─n─c─e────────────────▄
█ Coding is internally used for the number of text █░░ 223 ▀

If you inadvertently LOAD a DET or DEB Decor∙Edge Bord`r, an
error message is displayed. AutoDoc's error checking has been
designed to prevent (within its environment) the possibility
of mismatching...... You may, of course, rename the files at
the DOS Command Level but be CERTAIN to rename BOTH the *.DET
and *.DEB associated files.
