1. Intended Use
---------------
This program package is a financial accounting manager for home or
small business use. Anyone familiar with a regular checkbook can
quick start use it.
2. Disk Packing List
--------------------
The EliteCheck v1.1 program package should contain the following
files:
EC.EXE The EliteCheck program
EC.REF EliteCheck Reference Id
EC.HLP On-line help file
READ.ME A text file that you must read first before you use
the program
PACKING.LST List of files in your packgage
INSTALL.EXE Installation program
MANUAL.DOC On disk User Manual
VENDOR.DOC Vendor distribution information
REGISTER.DOC Registration and license information
REGISTER.FRM Registration Form
ECFILES.EXE Utility program to increase files parameter in the
CONFIG.SYS file
3. Important Files to Read
--------------------------
Anyone wishing to use this program must read this file first. The
MANUAL.DOC file contains a full description on how to use
EliteCheck. To register your use of EliteCheck, read the
REGISTER.DOC file and follow the instructions.
Shareware distributors, disk vendors, computer clubs, and BBS
SYSOPs must read the VENDOR.DOC file.
The following text files can be printed to your printer:
READ.ME PACKING.LST MANUAL.DOC VENDOR.DOC
REGISTER.DOC REGISTER.FRM
If you want to print any of above text files, you could use the
COPY command to print it. For example, to print the MANUAL.DOC file
to your printer, insert the disk that contains the MANUAL.DOC file
in drive A and type this command:
COPY A:\MANUAL.DOC PRN
If you are a registered user, you do not need to print the
MANUAL.DOC file since your package includes a printed User Manual.
4. First Things to do
---------------------
1) Make sure that the EliteCheck distribution disk has all the
files listed above.
2) Make a backup copy of your EliteCheck distribution disk.
3) Make sure that your computer has:
- DOS 3.0 or later version
- minimum 512K memory
- two floppy disk drives or hard drive
- the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of your boot
disk that contains a line:
FILES=nn
in which nn must be at least 15.
5. Using ECFILES utility to check the CONFIG.SYS file
-----------------------------------------------------
To ensure that the CONFIG.SYS file has a FILES parameter properly,
you can use ECFILES utility program supplied with this package.
To run ECFILES, simply invoke it and follow the instructions given
by the program.
6. Installing EliteCheck
-------------------------
<Note>
If you obtained the EliteCheck package in an archived file and
decompressed it on your disk, you are already ready to start
using EliteCheck. In that case, skip this section.

A:INSTALL C:\EC
The Installation program will automatically install
EliteCheck to the \EC directory in drive C. If you want
to install EliteCheck to a directory other than \EC,

will automatically create it.

To use EliteCheck without a hard disk, you need two floppy disk
drives: one for a EliteCheck program disk and the other for a data
disk. To install EliteCheck to a floppy diskette, do the following
steps:
1) Start your computer with a DOS system diskette.
2) Insert the EliteCheck Install disk in drive A.
3) Insert a formatted blank diskette in drive B.
3) Run the INSTALL.EXE by typing as follows:
A:INSTALL B:\
While running the INSTALL program, follow the
instructions on the screen.
The Installation program will install EliteCheck to the
root directory in drive B.
7. Starting EliteCheck
----------------------
To start EliteCheck on a hard disk:
1) Change current directory to the EliteCheck directory.
C>CD C:\EC
2) Invoke EliteCheck by typing EC followed by <ENTER> key.
C>EC
To start EliteCheck on a floppy disk:
1) Make sure that your computer was booted from the DOS disk
that contains the CONFIG.SYS file with a line 'FILES=15'
(or greater than 15).
2) Insert EliteCheck program disk in drive A.
3) Invoke EliteCheck by typing EC followed by <ENTER> key.
A>EC
4) Insert your data disk in drive B when EliteCheck
instructs you to do so.
If your monitor screen becomes unreadable when you start
EliteCheck, start EliteCheck with /M option:
C:>EC /M
