- Gear.doc
-
- Calculates custom charts and/or graphs of bicycle gear ratios.
- "Gear" sorts from 1 to 27 ratios so that the shift pattern is
- implied by the text output on "F4". (From 1 to 3 chain rings
- in the front and from 1 to 9 cogs on the rear cluster.)
- "Gear" also produces custom charts or files relating peddling
- cadence to the bikes speed and its gear ratios. The ratios and
- speed tables may be printed out or sent to a file and may be
- used for later reference.
-
- Select your particular combination of gears on "F5" and display
- the results. Show the relation to speed from "F8". Or use
- the other menu picks to customize the program to your liking.
- "Gear" is fast, friendly and easy to use with menus, save/
- restore files and the ability to customize it with an initialization
- file. It is not copy protected and you are encouraged to
- distribute it as widely as possible: "shareware". However
- it is copyrighted and you are encouraged to register it. Please
- see the "Gear.hlp" file for more information and hardware
- requirements and licensing information or press "F9" once
- the program is loaded.
-
- Installation:
- "Gear" is not copy protected so the DOS "copy" command may
- be used to install it on any disk. To get everything
- copy "G*.*" from your source to your target. The minimal
- you need is "gear.exe" but you might like to get the "*.hlp"
- files or "g*.hlp". "Gear" may be run from a 360KB floppy or from
- a hard disk or a sub-directory. "Gear.ini" and "gear.dat" are
- easily re-generated by the program itself from "F6" and "F5".
- Every menu pick has some explanation in one of the help files.
- If you use this product please support it.

- Thank you for your support!
