THE FILES ON YOUR PC-CALC+ DISKS
This information is provided so that you'll know the function of each file
and program in the PC-Calc+ system. Some of these files came with your
PC-Calc+ disks. Some of them are created during the course of using
PC-Calc.
COLOR.PRO
This is a profile for running PC-Calc+ on a color monitor.
CONVERT.EXE
CONVERT.EXE is the import and export program. You can convert your
PC-Calc+ data to comma delimited format, DIF and 1-2-3. Likewise, you can
import your DIF and 1-2-3 data into PC-Calc+ by using the CONVERT program.
CONVERT.EXE will also convert old PC-Calc data (PC-Calc versions 1.0
through 3.0) into the PC-Calc+ format.
filename.PCC
This is the data, defaults, etc. that you have entered into your
spreadsheet.
filename.PRO
This file provides profile information that will be used whenever you load
it. You may save an unlimited number of profiles for later recall.
filename.MAC
This file is created when you define and save macros. It contains the
macro character strings. You may save an unlimited number of macro files
for later recall.
filename.PRN
This file contains printer information. It contains the printer control
and printer port information. You may save an unlimited number of PRN
files for later recall. The PC-Calc+ Utility Disk contains the following
PRN files: EPSON.PRN for Epson and IBM dot matrix printers, OKIDATA.PRN
for Okidata dot matrix printers, TANDY.PRN for Tandy (Radio Shack) DMP
dot matrix printers, NEC_PIN.PRN for NEC Pinwriter dot matrix printers,
TOSHIBA.PRN for Toshiba dot matrix printers and HP.PRN for HP Laser Jet
printers (independent of the cartridge, courier portrait and landscape
defaults).
FILES
This file.
GRAPH.ME
This file is created by PCG2.EXE to keep track of your answers to questions
about graphs. You can run PCG2.EXE as a standalone program when the
GRAPH.ME file is present.
MICPRINT.FY
MICPRINT.FY and its companion file SBO.FY contain the fonts used for
printing characters on graphs. If you are using the graphics feature,
these files should be in the same subdirectory with your other PC-Calc+
program files. If you never do graphs, these files can be deleted.
P90.EXE
P90.EXE is a sideways printing program. It prints wide text files at 90
degrees.
PCC.EXE
The main program module of PC-Calc+. It must reside either in the root
directory or somewhere on the DOS PATH.
PCC.HLP
The help file used by PC-Calc+ whenever you press F1. This file is
optional, but highly recommended if you have room for it. You must place
it on the same drive and in the same subdirectory with PCC.EXE either in
the root directory or somewhere on the DOS PATH
PCCALC.PRO
A control file used by PC-Calc+ to determine your operating environment.
Contains information about your printer, screen colors, etc. It's created
by the Configure command from the main menu. This file is optional,
because if it is missing PC-Calc+ will assume a standard set of defaults
(no color support and IBM graphics printer).
PCG2.EXE
This is the graph drawing sub-program. If you will be doing graphs, this
program must be in the same subdirectory as your other PC-Calc+ programs.
If you will not be doing graphs, you can delete this program.
PRODUCTS
This file contains an order form and a brief description of ButtonWare
products.
READ.ME
A text file provided for additional miscellaneous information. You can
view this file with any word processor that reads ASCII files, or print it
on your printer with this command:
COPY A:READ.ME PRN
RESPONSE
A text file containing a copy of the User Response Form. This file may be
printed out to create a feedback response form for mailing to ButtonWare.
You can delete it if you wish. However, the information ButtonWare
receives on these forms is carefully evaluated. If you want to let us know
about additional features (or improvements to current ones) in PC-Calc+,
please complete this form and send it to us.
SAMPLE.MAC
This is a sample macro file.
SBO.FY
SBO.FY and its companion file MICPRINT.FY contain the fonts used for
printing characters on graphs. If you are using the graphics feature,
these files should be in the same subdirectory with your other PC-Calc+
program files. If you never do graphs, these files can be deleted.
TUTORIAL.PCC
This is a sample spreadsheet that is explained in greater detail in the
Brief Tutorial section of the manual.
