|| 5. Program Maintenance and Repair ||
|+--------------------------------------------------------------------+|
| |
| A. BACKUP COPIES - Make them when you don't need them, because |
| when you need them you can't make them. |
| |
| B. TOO MANY FILES OPEN - If you receive a Turbo I/O Error Message |
| or if the same help screen keeps appearing even though you are |
| pressing different keys, then implement one of the below listed |
| remedies. |
| 1. Permanent Remedy - Add the line "Files=20" to your |
| Config.Sys file. Reboot system and |
| start program per instructions. |
| 2. Temporary Remedy - Reboot your system with a DOS disk that |
| does not have an Autoexec.Bat file. |
| Then start program per instructions. |
| |
| C. FLOPPY DISK SPEED-UP - By adding the line "Buffers=20" to your |
| Config.Sys file you will find the program runs up to 400% faster |
| on a floppy disk system. Change takes effect after you re-boot. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
++--------------------------------------------------------------------++
|| 6. Disk Naming Conventions ||
|+--------------------------------------------------------------------+|

| Each ShareWare distributor has their own disk labeling system. |
| The following disks are equivalent: |
