!!Some Final Words
Description of the Package:
==========================================================================
PageFocus is a Windows application for creating drawing, form, document,
and database.
The package contains two programs:
PFOCUS.EXE This is named PageFocus. Use this for creating and
designing drawings, forms, documents, catalogs, etc.
EX.EXE This is the run-time program, used for entering data
into forms/documents created by PFOCUS.EXE, or
used as a viewer for viewing files created by PFOCUS.EXE.
The entered data can be saved to create your own
database. With properly designed forms, data in
the databases can be retreived into different forms.
To find a summary of the features of PageFocus, use EX.EXE to open
USEGUIDE.PF file and review the pages.

directly (assuming that you have proper hardware setup.)

Two PageFocus file, USEGUIDE.PF and TIPS.PF, also contains useful information.

The button bars described in PageFocus help file is based on a super-VGA
screen mode. If your monitor is running on VGA mode, the button bar will be
slightly different from those described in the help files.
However, this will not affect the use of PageFocus because all the
button commands are available from PageFocus menus. Just that if you
have super-VGA or better, the button command layout will be much better.
