- Getting Started with the SBW Tutor_By_Example (tm)
-
- The first thing you should do is to backup the distribution
- diskettes and store the distribution diskettes away in a safe
- place. Use only the copy for all operations.
-
- Getting started with the Tutor diskette
-
- Before you can begin the execution of SBW, you must print out
- a copy of the Tutor_By_Example (tm) text. The file named PRINTEXT.BAT
- is designed to help you to do this. Simply type the name PRINTEXT
- at the DOS prompt and all of the Tutor_By_Example text will be
- printed for you. When the system displays "Name of list device
- [PRN]:", hit the return key to accept the default. This batch file
- uses the DOS command PRINT.COM (from your DOS disk, copy it to the
- Tutor_By_Example disk, if space permits) to actually do the printing
- and it has an upper limit of 10 files that can be queued up at once.
- There is therefore a pause after each group of print requests to allow
- the queue to empty out, after which you must hit any key to allow
- printing to continue. If you key these commands in manually, you can
- print in the background, and be using your computer to do something
- else (provided of course that the something else doesn't require the
- printer).

- SYSTEM FOR BUSINESS & THE WORKPLACE (SBW)
- --------------------------------
-
- The disk labeled System for Business & Workplace (SBW) Disk is an integrated

- SBW include:

- To run the System, you need to have the dbase disk in drive A or C and in
