-----------------------------------------------------------------
Getting Started
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This document is for new CatScan users who are anxious to get
CatScan up and running. Please refer to CATSCAN.DOC for
additional information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The information provided here is based on a few assumptions. The
first is that you know how to run programs. Another is that
you're running programs from the DOS prompt, and your logged
directory is the one where CatScan and its associated files are
stored. It also assumes you are using CatScan with TAPCIS.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum Installation Requirements
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To make CatScan work properly, you will need to install some
information about your system. Enter the information using the
CATALYST program.
1. Run CATALYST
a. Type "3" to Install TAPCIS
You must select item (1) here to install the path where
TAPCIS.EXE and PARAMS.CIS reside or CatScan may write scripts to
the wrong directory.
By default, CatScan reports the time and cost to
download files based on 2400 baud and $12.50 per hour. If your
rates differ, select items (2) and (3).
Press [Escape] to return to the main menu.
b. If you have any files on your disk whose file
extensions begin with the "@" character, such as MYFILE.@XX, then
select item "(5) Miscellaneous", and "(1) Alter index character"
to change it. The screen explains the procedure.
Press [Escape] to return to the main menu.
c. Select item (6) and type "Y" when asked if you want to
save your changes.
2. Run CATSCAN.
a. Press any key to pass the intro screen.
b. Type "FNC". This enters all your *.CAT files in the
TAPCIS <S>torage path to the file list. If your CAT files don't
appear, then you probably installed the TAPCIS.EXE path
incorrectly.
c. At this point, you can move the highlighted scroll bar
(with the cursor keys) to any file and type "L" to Load it for
viewing, searching, etc.
Remember that many CatScan screens provide help that explain what
each menu item does. Press Function Key 1 [F1] to display it.
