- Installation Instructions
-
- Note: You may use Windows 3.0 if you have installed VER.DLL,
- COMMDLG.DLL and WINHELP.EXE (V3.1) in your Windows
- directories. These can be supplied if needed.
-
- 1. Backup your BioGraf distribution diskette/ZIP file before you
- install BioGraf.
-
- You can do this by using the MS-DOS DISKCOPY command if you
- received BioGraf on a diskette, or by using the MS-DOS COPY
- command if you received BioGraf in some other way - such as from
- a bulletin board etc. For more information on using either of
- these commands, please refer to your MS-DOS User's Guide.
-
- 2. Place the backup copy of your BioGraf diskette into your
- computer's floppy drive and choose RUN from the Program Manager
- FILE menu (or its equivalent if you are using a different shell).
-
- 3. Type A:\INSTALL (or B:\INSTALL) and click on OK in the FILE/RUN
- dialog box.
-
- 4. Follow the installation instructions on the the screen.
-
- Note: Please keep BIOGRAF.EXE, BIOGRAF.DAT and BIOGRAF.HLP in the
- same directory, and do not rename any of these files.
-
- Running BioGraf
-
- Start BioGraf by double-clicking on the BioGraf icon in Program
- Manager (or its equivalent) to run the program. Once BioGraf has
- started up, you should be able to use the People command to set up a
- personal biorhythm display.
-
- A Note on the Iconized Display
-
- One of BioGraf's many features is its dynamic iconized display,
- which shows the current state of your biorhythms. This iconized
- display is NOT the same as the icon that sits in Program Manager
- (or its equivalent) before the program is running.
- [2]
-
- To get the iconized display, start BioGraf as usual, then click
- on the minimize button in the top right hand corner of the window.
-
- If you exit from BioGraf while the display is minimized, then the
- program will start up in an iconized state again next time you use
- it. If you don't want it to start up in a minimized state, simply
- make sure you exit from it while it's not minimized.
-
- On-line Help and the User's Guide
-
- BioGraf uses the Windows Help system to provide on-line information
- as and when you need it. This information, although concise, is
- ideal for jogging your memory on specific commands. When you
- register BioGraf, you will receive a full 38-page printed and bound
- User's Guide, with a special section discussing the nature and
- meaning of biorhythms.
-
- You can get help in BioGraf by clicking on the Help button, or by
- typing <H>.
-
- There is also a quicker way to get help: press the <F1> key, or
- click the right mouse button. This will normally take you straight
- to the main index, but if you are in a dialog box or status window,
- it will give you help related to what you are doing.
