- │ PC-FLOW is a program designed specifically for the creation of │
- │ flowcharts. Pc-flow comes complete with nine commonly used templates │
- │ representing tapes, disks, printed output, work blocks, decision diamonds, │
- │ and more. Additionally, text and connection lines can be added. The final │
- │ result can be printed on an Epson compatible dot matrix printer. │
- │ The flowchart is drawn on a five by five grid, allowing a maximum of │
- │ twenty-five objects per page. The program is completely pointer based. │
- │ The cursor movement keys are used to move around the screen. Objects are │
- │ drawn by selecting the appropriate pattern from the pattern area in the │
- │ upper left hand area of the screen and then moving the arrow to the desired │
- │ location for the object and hitting enter. Lines are drawn in a similar │
- │ manner, except that both the beginning and ending points must be specified. │
- │ Text is inserted by selecting text, pointing at the desired location, │
- │ hitting enter, and typing the desired text. Pc-flow is an intuitive │
- │ easy to use program which makes flowcharting much easier. │
- │ To print out the flowchart an Epson compatible printer is required and │
- │ the DOS program GRAPHICS must be installed in memory. Type "GRAPHICS" │
- │ to install GRAPHICS, the resident DOS bit-mapped screen dump program. This │
- │ should be done before invoking PC-FLOW. The PC-FLOW batch files provided │
- │ on this diskette will install graphics if the program is accessible via the │
- │ currently defined DOS path. Once in the program, to print a flowchart │
- │ select, using the pointer, the print option. A bit-mapped image complete │
- │ with title, date and description areas will be printed with the flowchart. │
