- Welcome to the world of Picoware software products! The prefix
- 'pico' (pronounced peeko) means 'very small', but that refers to
- price, not function! We hope you find this program to be a
- valuable addition to your software toolbox.
-
- This diskette contains six files:
-
- g-whiz.exe The actual program
- g-whiz.doc A documentation file for the program
- readme This file
- register.txt A registration form
- catalog.txt A list of our other software products
- bugs.txt A bug reporting form
-
- The file g-whiz.exe is the program file. This is the only file
- you need to run the program. G-WHIZ can be copied to another
- disk, or to your hard disk, as the program is not copy protected.
- We recommend that you make a backup copy of this disk before
- using G-WHIZ.
-
- The g-whiz.doc file is an ASCII text file that contains detailed
- instructions for running G-WHIZ. You should read this file using
- the TYPE command, or you can print it out on your printer. The
- file doesn't contain any formatting commands, so it can be viewed
- or printed without fear of strange reactions!
-
- The register.txt file is an ASCII text file. You should print a
- copy of this file on your printer, then fill in the information
- and send it to the address specified on the form. This form
- allows us to place you on our mailing list. This mailing list is
- used to inform you of new releases of existing software, and of
- new programs coming on the market.
-
- The file catalog.txt is a copy of the Picoware software catalog,
- which gives a brief description of all of the products in our
- line.
-
- The bugs.txt file is a form which you should fill out and mail in
- if you discover a bug in a Picoware program. If you are the
- first person to report a bug, we will send you a free copy of the
- program, with all bugs fixed to date.
-
- Quick Notes:
-
- If you try to run G-WHIZ, and some of the characters are
- difficult to read, try running the program with the /b option:
-
- g-whiz /b
-
- This will force G-WHIZ to print all characters to the screen
- using monochrome attributes. This fixes problems you might have
- if you are running a monochrome monitor with a color graphics
- interface. This problem is more fully described in the
- documentation. (Compaq owners will have to use the /b option...)
-
- If you are running from a hard disk, we recommend that you set up
- one directory for your commonly used utilities and programs, then
- copy g-whiz.exe into that directory. Then if you set up a search
- directory command, you can invoke this program no matter where
- you are on the disk. For example, if you have this disk in the
- 'A:' drive, and your hard disk is the 'C:' drive, the following
- instructions would accomplish this:
-
- mkdir c:\utility
- copy a:g-whiz.exe c:\utility
- path c:\utility
-
- For a quick summary of G-WHIZ usage, type the following from the
- DOS prompt:
-
- g-whiz ?
-
-
- Enjoy!
