-
-
- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
-
- GRAFER(TM) Line Graphs for Windows, v3.0 <ASP>, makes ANSI look-alike
- graphs suitable for scientific and engineering reports. The Line Graphs
- and Scatter Plots are built from X-Y data entered from the keyboard, a
- text file, or the Clipboard. The "Picture" Graphs can be Copied to the
- Clipboard and Pasted into other applications as an adjustable graph.
- Saved graphs are in text file format and easily edited. Printed graphs
- are adjustable in size. Learn to graph with the samples included.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- Grafer requires, as a minimum, an IBM AT or compatible computer with
- Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, or Windows '95 installed and running. The
- current memory in your computer should be adequate if you are able to
- use other Windows applications satisfactorily. The hard disk space
- needed is less than 300 kilobytes. Grafer will not run with Windows
- 3.0.
-
-
- GRAFER(TM) INSTALLATION
-
- You will probably receive Grafer in one of two ways. In the first way,
- you will have a floppy disk with the ten individual files listed below:
-
- GRAFER.EXE - Grafer executable for Windows 3.1 or greater
- GRAFER.HLP - Grafer help for Windows 3.1 or greater
- REGISTER.TXT - Registration form for Users
- README.TXT - Getting Started Documentation
- GRAFTEST.GRF - A test graph as described in a Help item
- ELECT.GRF - A graph of residential power consumption
-
- INSTALL.EXE - Installation Program for Grafer
- VENDINFO.DIZ - Grafer Product Information
- VENDOR.TXT - (use VENDINFO.DIZ for all information)
- FILE_ID.DIZ - BBS description of Grafer
-
- If you have a disk with the ten files, use the instructions given in the
- section below titled, "USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM".
-
- The second way to receive Grafer is in a compressed file or archive. The
- compressed file name should be GRAFER3.xxx where "xxx" indicates which
- file compression utility was used. In this case, use the suggestions
- given in the section titled, "INSTALL FROM A COMPRESSED FILE".
-
- If you prefer to install Grafer manually, copy the first six files
- listed above to the directory of your choice. Using Windows 3.1 or 3.11,
- create icons for the first four files and install them in the Windows
- Group of your choice by using the Program Manager "File" menu and
- selecting "New...".
-
- Using Windows95 or later, create a "Start" menu item by adding a folder
- called "Grafer" in Windows\Start Menu\Progams\ folder. Now, add four
- "shortcuts" to the "Grafer" folder for the first four files you copied to
- the directory of your choice above.
-
-
- USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM
-
- To install Grafer, start up Windows and put the Grafer floppy disk in
- Drive A. Follow the directions in the sections below depending on which
- version of Windows you are using:
-
- Windows 3.1 or 3.11
-
- From the Program Manager "File" menu, select "Run". Type "A:INSTALL" in
- the dialog box that appears. After you press "ENTER" or click on the
- "OK" button, the Install program will start on the floppy drive. If you
- are installing from B drive, substitute the letter B for the letter A
- above.
-
- Windows95 or later
-
- From the "Start" menu select "Run". Type "A:INSTALL" in the dialog box
- that appears. After you press "ENTER" or click on the "OK" button, the
- Install program will start on the floppy drive. If you are installing
- from B drive, substitute the letter B for the letter A above.
-
- The Install program will copy the Grafer files to a new directory titled
- "GRAFER" on your hard drive (C:). You will have an opportunity to revise
- the directory name and installation location. Click on the "OK" button
- or press the "ENTER" key to start the file transfer to the directory you
- selected.
-
- Using Windows 3.1 or 3.11, the Install program will also create a
- Windows Group named "Grafer" and put the Grafer icons in that group. You
- may move the Grafer icons to another group later if desired.
-
- Using Windows95 or later, a menu item titled, "Grafer" will be added to
- the "Start Menu" with "shortcuts" for four of the files listed above.
-
-
- INSTALL FROM A COMPRESSED FILE
-
- If you received Grafer as a single file such as GRAFER3.ZIP, copy this
- file to a temporary directory on your hard disk. Next, decompress the
- file using a decompression utility program. The DOS command might be
- PKUNZIP GRAFER3.ZIP if that compression utility was used to compress the
- file. Several other compression/decompression utilities are in common
- use. You can probably obtain the correct utility from the same place you
- obtained the Grafer archive.
-
- If the Grafer archive file name is GRAFER3.EXE, you decompress it by
- running it from your temporary directory as you would any DOS program.
- No other utilities are needed.
-
- Once the archive file is decompressed, you should have the ten files
- listed above in your temporary directory. Now you can install Grafer as
- described above in the section titled, "USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM".
- Instead of typing "A:INSTALL" in the "Run" dialog box, you would type,
- "C:\TMP\INSTALL", where C:\TMP is the current hard drive and directory
- where the ten files are located.
-
-
- UNINSTALL GRAFER
-
- Windows 3.1 or 3.11
-
- First delete each icon in the Grafer Group by selecting it and then
- pressing the 'Delete' key. When all the icons are gone, delete the Group
- by pressing the 'Delete' key.
-
- Next, from the File Manager, delete the directory containing the Money
- Math files. First, select the directory and then delete it by pressing
- the 'Delete' key. Grafer places a file named, "grafer.ini" in the
- Windows directory of your computer. You may also delete this file.
-
- Windows95
-
- Using Explorer, delete the directory containing the Grafer files. First,
- select the directory and then delete it by pressing the 'Delete' key.
- Grafer places a file named, "grafer.ini" in the Windows directory of
- your computer. You may also delete this file.
-
- To remove the, "Grafer" item from the, "Start" menu, move to the,
- Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder using Explorer. Expand the folder by
- clicking on the "+". Now, click on the, "Grafer" folder and press the
- delete key.
-
-
- RUNNING GRAFER
-
- To start Grafer, double-click the mouse on the Grafer icon for Windows
- 3.1 or 3.11. For Windows95, from the "Start" menu, select "Programs".
- Now select "Grafer" from the menu and again select "Grafer" from the
- menu.
-
- Selecting "Exit" from the "File" menu item closes Grafer. You can also
- use the Alt+F4 key combination to do the same thing.
-
-
- GRAFER DOCUMENTATION
-
- All of the Grafer features are documented in Grafer Help. You can select
- the "Help" menu item from within Grafer or you can double click on the
- "Grafer Help" icon. Either way, the Windows Help program will run Grafer
- Help.
