- This program was developed using Turbo Pascal and Quick Basic which are
- products of Borland and Microsoft respectively. The program is copyrighted
- by Third Wave Systems of Moline, IL 61266 and all rights are reserved.
-
- General permission is granted to copy and distribute this program. After a
- reasonable evaluation period, a registration fee of $5 is expected if use
- continues. Upon registration you will receive the latest version of the
- program and the most current version of the price file.
-
- Included with the program is SEE.EXE, a FREEWARE program courtesy of
- Pinnacle Software of Swanton, VT. It is invoked by the invoicing program
- if you choose ERROR CODES or ADIOS USER MANUAL from the programs main menu.
- You can also use it to view any ASCII file from a DOS prompt. For example,
- to view the user manual from a DOS prompt type the following command
- followed and then press Enter:
-
- SEE ADIOS.DOC
-
- CHANGES to the program which are not yet included in the user manual are
- described at the end of this file.
-
- Always start the program with the ADIOS.BAT file provided. We recommend
- you run from the DOS prompt and not under a shell or under Windows. If you
- must run under Windows, invoke ADIOSW.BAT from the RUN screen.
-
- In order for the program to run properly, your computer must have a
- CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of the disk used to start your
- computer. This file must contain the statement FILES=20. Any greater number
- will also work.
-
- If you have a hard disk, we recommend you make a special directory called
- ADIOS and copy all files from the distribution diskette to this directory.
- An example of the necessary DOS commands follows:
-
- MD \ADIOS
- COPY A:\*.* \ADIOS
-
- ... OR ...
-
- A:INSTALL
-
-
- If you are running the program from a floppy diskette, you may have to
- remove one or more files from the diskette to provide sufficient disk
- space. We suggest you remove ADIOS.DOC.
-
- TO START THE PROGRAM TYPE ADIOS. If you have a hard disk you should first
- change to the proper directory with a command such as: CD\ADIOS.
-
- The following files should be present on the distribution diskette:
-
- ADIOS.BAT Used to invoke the program
- ADIOSW.BAT Used when running under Windows
-
- ADIOS.DOC The manual which explains how to use the program.
-
- Use a utility such as SEE to view/print it.
-
- You could also use your word processor view or print the manual.
