- READ-ME.DOC - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
-
- SETTING YOUR SYSTEM FOR A MAXIMUM NUMBER OF OPEN FILES
-
- VERY IMPORTANT! If you wish to "try" this program before doing a "full"
- installation by using INSTALL.EXE, it is necessary to set your CONFIG.SYS
- Boot-Up file so that it contains the following command line...,
-
- FILES = 25 (or more - within reason)
-
- INSTALL.EXE will automatically do this if you have a hard drive, but you
- must set this manually if you don't run the installation program. See your
- DOS/MS-DOS instruction manual on CONFIG.SYS for more information. Not
- setting this command properly can cause the Program, Printer or System to
- jam up if "GPP" attempts to open one too many files. The default maximum
- number of "files open at one time" is usually only "9", and most systems'
- BootUp files will use up about half of that number all by themselves.
-
- NEW KIND OF DATA FILE
-
- Data files created with either of the older "GIST-ORIGINAL" or "GIST-PLUS"
- programs are NOT compatible with this new "GIST-PLUS(+)" program.
-
- New Registered Users will receive a support file named "CONVERT.EXE" which
- will convert and combine the older INVOICE.REC and CUSTOMER.REC files from
- "GIST-PLUS" into a brand new type of "GPP" data file. This new solo file
- (all in one file) will contain everything that was contained in the seven
- "*.REC & *.NDX" files used by "GP". This new type of data file is called an
- "ISAM" file. The "ISAM" file appears to be a much more rugged and a less
- delicate file than those used in our previous programs.
-
- CONVERT.EXE is NOT included with UnRegistered Versions in an effort to
- keep the (already too large) UpLoad/DownLoad Archive Files as small as
- possible, and because this file is NOT needed to "Evaluate" GIST++.
-
- USING OUR SAMPLE DATA FILES
-
- If you have never used this program before, and are just "checking it out"
- to see if it does what you want, then answer "Y" (for YES) when asked if
- you want to "USE THE SAMPLE DATA FILES?". A "yes" answer will provide you
- with a couple of demo data files which show many of the features of this
- program, and save YOU the time and trouble of entering your own data just
- to "try" this program.
