│ Briefing for Quick Startup │
└────────────────────────────┘
In addition to being a quick startup guide, this is a
briefing for preparation to the demonstration outlined
in the file PWRDEMO.DOC, which is the demonstration
guide.
First of all, I'd like to thank you for considering the
usefulness of the Power program. I'm sure you'll find it
interesting. If you haven't read the README.1ST file, do so at
your convenience; it contains introductionary information. The
PACKING.LST file contains a file list with their one-line
descriptions and a complete list of files in the archives with
the exact time/date stamps and CRC-32 values.
To run Power, simply type PWR and press the <Enter> key.
The first thing Power does upon startup is look in the current
directory for a file called CHIP.BSE. This is the database file.
If it doesn't exist, one is created automatically. Make sure the
CHIP.BSE is in the same directory where the POWER program is.
The database contains some sample data. (You may start from a
diskette if you wish, but all the included sample files (*.BSE
and *.DAT files) along with the Power program will not fit on a
360K diskette. Use either a 720K 3.5" or 1.2M 5.25" diskette.)

The input files SAMPLE.DAT, SAMPLEA.DAT, SAMPLEB.DAT,
SAMP500.DAT, SAMP998.DAT, and CHIP500.BSE are sample files.
These are part of the tutoring package as a teaching aid in
learning how to run the program, as well as a demonstration of
the program's capabilities. The demonstration is given in the
file PWRDEMO.DOC.
Don't add or edit any data to the sample files: this will mess up
the expected results of the program's calculations when running
the demonstrations as instructed in the PWRDEMO.DOC file. For
editing or adding data, enter a non-existant file at the file
name prompt or make a copy of one of the sample input files. The
included sample input files should not be changed in any way, at
least until after the demonstration is over.
The Power program recognizes only one filename for the database:
CHIP.BSE. The CHIP.BSE is another sample file and does NOT
contain useful information for chip parameters. It contains
filler data only, in addition to some useful data. To begin
using the CHIP.BSE file from scratch, delete the CHIP.BSE file
and start the Power program. It will automatically create a new
database file. But if you want to run a user-guided
demonstration (see PWRDEMO.DOC), do not delete the sample
database file yet.
On other notes:
───────────────
The Configuration Menu (menu item 8 in the Main Menu) has a
password toggle for protecting the database View/Edit function
(menu item 2 in the database Menu) against unauthorized changes.
The password is 'Power' and it is case sensitive. To toggle it
or change it in the Configuration Menu, you need this password.
It is also used to gain access to the Database Edit function, if
toggled on.
Please go on to read the next document, the PWRDEMO.DOC, for
demonstrations.
