- HELP FOR DIRECTORY SCREEN
-
-
- To edit an existing form simply press enter/return and type in one
- of the names in the directory listing. If you want to generate a
- new form then select option 1 from the main menu and enter a new
- name when prompted for the file name during a directory listing.
-
- All files in the directory listing are sorted if this option has not
- been disabled with the EZ-FORMS install program. A very fast sort
- routine is used, but with a large directory it may take a few seconds.
-
- EZ-FORMS can handle a directory containing up to 2000 files. If you
- have more files than that in a SINGLE directory then please break the
- directory into smaller ones prior to running EZ-FORMS in that directory.

- MORE HELP FOR DIRECTORY SCREEN
-
-
- When a directory is displayed, the files will be sorted and displayed
- left to right -- top of screen to bottom in order. Please take note
- of the highlighted commands listed at the bottom of the screen.
-
- If "Enter --> Input Filename" is displayed then you are expected to
- look over the directory entries using the commands listed in the window
- at the bottom of the screen. After you do this, use enter/return to
- signal that you are ready to select a form to work with. Simply type
- in the form name at the prompt and press enter/return again. If you
- got here by accident the press enter/return without a filename entered
- and EZ-FORMS will return you to the main menu.
-
- If "Enter --> Input Filename" is not displayed then the directory is
- there as a status and you are expected to press F10 to exit after you
- finish looking it over.
-
- You can always use F10 to exit without further action.

- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- EZ-FORMS requires an IBM PC or compatible with at least
- 256K of RAM. Printers supported include the Epson graphics
- printer and daisywheel printers like the Bytewriter.
- Display adapters known to work with EZ-FORMS are IBM mono-
- chrome, color, and enhanced graphics adapters. Because
- direct screen access is used to enable high speed updating
- of screen information, EZ-FORMS may be unuseable on the not
- too close IBM PC compatibles. If this occurs please
- provide information on your screen memory starting address
- and I will try to include your display adapter particulars
- in the EZ-FORMS defaults. If you have a "green screen"
- monitor attached to your color graphics card, don't forget
- to use the DOS mode command -- MODE BW80. This will ensure
- correct conversion of colors for your monitor.
