echo ║ Installing and Starting QBALL. ║
echo ║ ───────────────────────────── ║
echo ║ You MUST have a PC-DOS/MS-DOS compatible computer with a CGA ║
echo ║ or EGA monitor to use QBALL. QBALL will autodetect which graphics ║
echo ║ card/monitor is installed on your computer. ║
echo ║ ║
echo ║ Log onto the drive where you have put the QBALL300_1 disk, ║
echo ║ type INSTALL (+ [enter]), and follow the prompts. ║
echo ║ ║
echo ║ Start QBALL by typing: QBALL (+[enter]). ║
echo ║ ║
echo ║ If you have an LCD screen, start QBALL with a white-on-black ║
echo ║ screen by typing: QBALL /b (+[enter]). (You MAY find use of a B&W ║
echo ║ screen advisable if you want to print graphics.) ║
echo ║ ║
echo ║ QBALL must be properly configured using PRCONFIG.EXE to rec- ║
echo ║ ognize a graphics printer. You may use PRCONFIG.EXE with INSTALL, ║
echo ║ or run PRCONFIG directly from the command line. ║

echo ║ Printing the documentation. ║
echo ║ ────────────────────────── ║
echo ║ QBALL.DOC will print with enough margin to permit punching ║
echo ║ the pages to fit a 3-ring binder. Set your printer to 'left mar- ║
echo ║ gin = 0', 10 CPI, and do not enable 'skip perforations;' formfeeds ║
echo ║ are built in. There are two *.DOC files: one prints the odd-num- ║
echo ║ bered pages; the other, the even-numbered pages. Print the odd ║
echo ║ numbers first. Enter: ║
echo ║ COPY QBALLODD.DOC PRN ║
echo ║ and when the last odd ║
echo ║ page has printed, flip the paper, ensuring that you're printing on ║
echo ║ the back of the title page, and enter: ║
echo ║ COPY QBALLEVN.DOC PRN ║
echo ║ to print the even-numbered pages. ║
echo ║ You'll need 50 sheets of fanfold paper and 1½ hours for the job. ║
echo ║ You may use single sheets; reverse the sheet order for even pages. ║
echo ╟──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
echo ║ You may use ONEDOC.COM to combine the manual files into one file if ║
echo ║ you want to change the formatting. See ONEDOC.DOC for details. ║

echo ║ QBALL *will* run from a floppy: 360K, 720K, 1.2M, or 1.44M, ║
echo ║ but any file write/retrieve operations are S-L-O-O-W. 360K disks ║
echo ║ are NOT recommended; QBALL.EXE will fit on one 360, but you won't ║
echo ║ have room enough for the bullet lookup data/index files, nor for ║
echo ║ the range table reader utility. Trajectory data save will also be ║
echo ║ severely limited, and you won't have room to save range tables. ║
echo ║ ║
echo ║ Two ways to speed QBALL's operation in file write/retrieve: ║
echo ║ 1) Run QBALL from its own directory on a hard disk; or, ║
echo ║ 2) If you can afford the RAM, run QBALL from a RAM disk. ║
echo ║ ║
echo ║ Use of a 500K RAM disk will allow QBALL to go lickety-split! ║
echo ║ There's no improvement in the internal workin's -- they're all in ║
echo ║ memory anyway -- but external operations are so fast that they're ║
echo ║ downright nervous. Again, note that there probably won't be room ║
echo ║ enough on your RAM disk to save range tables. (See your DOS docu- ║
echo ║ mentation under RAMDISK or VDISK for details about RAM disks.) ║
