***********************************************************************
* NOTE: ALITE uses a program overlay technique to free up more RAM *
* for data. As such, if the program is run from a floppy disk, *
* that disk should not be removed from the drive until you *
* have exited ALITE. *
***********************************************************************
ALITE is started from DOS using the command:
ALITE /Option1/Option2/Option3/..... [ENTER]
Available Command Line Options
------------------------------
/H - Enables graphics for Hercules
/E - Enables graphics for EGA
/ATT - Enables ATT display graphics
/Q - Quick screen updating for CGA
/V1 - Force CGA mode on VGA monitor
/NT - No Keyboard Turbo (Eliminates conflicts with some programs
that directly manipulate the keyboard registers)
ALITE may be set-up to run from any directory (usually on a hard disk
system). The way to do that is to:
a. Include the ALITE directory in your DOS path, and
b. Set the environment variable ALITE as follows:
At the DOS prompt type
SET ALITE=Drive:\Directory
For example, if ALITE is installed on your drive D and
in a directory called ALITE then the SET command would be:
SET ALITE=D:\ALITE
For details on using the program, please make sure you print out
the on-disk user's manual, ALITE.MAN (approx. 65 pages). This file
is extracted for you during the installation process and is a formatted
and ready to print on any printer using 60 or more lines per page.
To print the manual file to your printer, simply use the command:
COPY ALITE.MAN PRN
Modifications in ALITE 1.10g
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Correction was made to the module evaluating algebraic
expression in @IF statements, staring with a plus (+) sign.
In earlier versions, the first term following the plus sign
would be ignored.
2. A modification was made to ensure the @ACOS(x) function would
return the correct result on boundary values of (x).
3. A correction was made to assure proper operation of the
{INRANGE ...} macro command, by suspending the macro
processor while in the pointing range mode.
4. A modification was made so that the status indicator now
displays [READY] after a {QUIT} macro has been executed.
