================ Personal Record Keeper Notes ==============
To run Personal Record Keeper Version 1.10, your computer
must have at least the following configuration:
DOS 3.x
475k of free RAM
CGA, EGA or VGA monitor
A hard disk drive, or
A high-density floppy drive,
either 3.5" or 5.25"
In addition, you must have a CONFIG.SYS file in your root
directory which contains the following line:
FILES = 50
The figure can be greater than 50, but it can't be less. If
this line isn't present, or if you don't have a CONFIG.SYS
file, your computer will probably lock up when you try to run
PRK and you'll have to reboot. Check your DOS manual for
information about creating and modifying a CONFIG.SYS file.
Once you've added the proper line, you must reboot your
system -- the new line won't take effect until you do.
Setting up PRK is very easy. If you're using a hard disk
(which we strongly recommend), create a directory, change to
that directory, and copy the file from the diskette into it
using the DOS copy command. PRK is distributed as an
archived file called PRK1.EXE. To prepare it for use, type:
PRK1 <enter>
After all files have been extracted from the archive, the
system is ready for use. To start, type:
PRK <enter>
If you want to run on a floppy disk, you can, although it'll
be pretty slow. PRK will fit on either a 5.25" or 3.5" high-
density floppy. Your only limitation will be the amount of
data you can store -- since PRK will use as much space as it
can, hard-disk systems will hold many thousands of records,
but floppies are much more limited. Unfortunately, PRK won't
use two floppy drives.
The first time you start PRK, you'll see a bright red Warning
screen, telling you to make sure that your CONFIG.SYS file
contains the proper 'FILES = 50' line. If it doesn't, press
the ESC key, add the line, reboot your computer (important --
the line won't take effect until you reboot), and restart
PRK. If the line is present, press the ENTER key. PRK will
then start, and you won't see the Warning screen again.
