GETTING STARTED
=================================================================
Requirements:
To run the system it is recommended that you have a hard disk.
Dos Version 3.0 or higher is also recommended. Ram Memory should
be 640k or more.
You MUST have a CONFIG.SYS file on your startup disk. If you
have a hard disk then this file must be in your root directory
i.e. "C:\". If you are using floppies then this file must be on
your DOS diskette. The file must contain the following
statements:
FILES=35
BUFFERS=30
The system will not run unless these commands are added to your
CONFIG.SYS file. Once you have added them you must reboot your
system. This can be accomplished by CTRL-ALT-DEL sequence or
turning off the computer and turning it back on.
If you do not have an existing CONFIG.SYS file on your computer
then copy the one supplied on the program disk to either your
root directory (if using a hard disk) or to your DOS diskette (if
using two floppies).
Examples:
Hard Disk: Copy A:CONFIG.SYS C:\ (Program Disk in drive A:)
Floppy Disk: Copy B:CONFIG.SYS A: (Program Disk in drive B:)
