SMARTPD Demonstration Notes
Installing The Demo
-------------------
The installation program is designed to work from a diskette. It is
best to copy the unzipped files to your A: drive. Then type:
DO PDINSTAL
from a FOXPRO COMMAND WINDOW. The installation program will automatically
copy SMARTPD.APP to your FoxPro directory and help you add the following
line to your CONFIG.FP file.
_GENPD="<<FoxPro Path>>\SMARTPD.APP"
Example:
_GENPD="C:\FOXPRO2\SMARTPD.APP"
Using SMARTPD
-------------
Set up your printer using the Printer Setup under the "File" option of the
FOXPRO System Menu or by typing:
_PDSETUP="?"
Running PDDEMO.APP will demonstrate the capability of SMARTPD. The demo
is a fully functional version of SMARTPD with a demonstration display
screen added. Try using it with REPORT FORM TO PRINT. Note that you will
not need the PDSETUP switch. SMARTPD will automatically set up
your printer to accomodate the page size specified in PAGE LAYOUT.
You should order a source code or application version of SMARTPD to use
the program in your application without this screen. A registered version will
include the user's manual and free telephone support.
