- 1. Installation
- ---------------
- To install QUATTRO PRO on your hard disk:
-
- o Place Disk 1 in drive A.
- o Type A:INSTALL and press ENTER.
- o Follow the directions displayed on the screen.
- o Type Q to load the program.
-
- If you have difficulty reading the text displayed by the Install pro-
- gram, use the optional command line parameter, /B to force install to
- use black and white colors. Type
-
- A:INSTALL /B<ENTER>
-
- Specifying the /B parameter may be necessary if you are using an LCD
- screen or a system that has a color graphics adapter with a monochrome
- or composite monitor.
-
-
- 2. Network Installation and LASERJET.BGI
- ----------------------------------------
- The LASERJET.BGI file is not ready to be shared in a network
- installation of QUATTRO PRO. Using DOS, the network administrator
- should put a copy of LASERJET.BGI on each network users "private"
- directory. This is the directory that has the ".MP" files. The copy
- of LASERJET.BGI that is on the shared QUATTRO PRO directory (the
- directory where Q.EXE and Q.VRM reside) should then be erased. The
- next Beta release of QUATTRO PRO will allow all network users access
- to LASERJET.BGI on the shared directory.
-
-
-
- 3. Updating an Earlier Version of QUATTRO PRO to Version 2.0
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Before installing the current version of QUATTRO PRO, you will need to
- delete the earlier version. If any spreadsheet data files (*.W??) or
- clip art data files (*.CLP) are in the QPRO\ directory, copy them to a
- different directory. Then delete all files in the QPRO\ and QPRO\FONTS
- directories (DEL *.*). If you attempt to intermix files from both
- versions, you will get unpredictable behavior when you execute QUATTRO
- PRO.
-
-
- 4. Using Extended Memory for VROOMM Object Caching
- --------------------------------------------------
- QUATTRO PRO can use up to 512Kb of extended memory to store additional
- executable modules in memory. This feature is called the VROOMM Object
- Cache. To use it, include the /X parameter when executing QUATTRO PRO:
-
- Q /X
-
- Generally, when more memory is available, QUATTRO PRO runs faster.
- This feature in particular is ideal for use with computers that have a
- total of 1Mb memory available with no EMS (Expanded Memory Specifica-
- tions) driver installed. When working on large spreadsheets, QUATTRO
- PRO can use the extended memory to significantly enhance performance.
- However, when more than 1Mb of total memory is available, an EMS driv-
- er should be used because QUATTRO PRO can use the additional memory
- for storing more spreadsheet data and/or executable modules.
-
- WARNING: Some disk cache drivers, RAM disk drivers, and TSR (Terminate
- and Stay Resident) programs may also use extended memory in such a way
- that QUATTRO PRO cannot recognize their presence. Therefore , we
- STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you do not use any disk cache drivers, RAM
- disk drivers, or TSR programs when using the /X parameter because
- these programs may clash with QUATTRO PRO's use of the extended mem-
- ory.
-
-
- 5. Bitstream Fonts: New in QUATTRO PRO
- --------------------------------------
- With this version of QUATTRO PRO, type quality has been greatly en-
- hanced through the use of Bitstream's Fontware Typefaces and enabling
- software, producing high-quality bitmap fonts. However, when you look
- closely at printed output from QUATTRO PRO, you may occasionally
- notice extra white space between pairs of characters. This is not a
- problem with your fonts. This extra white space is commonly reduced
- using a composition function called kerning. At the present time,
- QUATTRO PRO does not implement kerning.
-
-
- 6. Testing Your Expanded Memory Specification: EMSTEST.COM
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- Included with QUATTRO PRO is a program to test your Expanded Memory
- Specification (EMS) hardware/software. The test will verify that your
- EMS hardware/software is working correctly. If you have problems using
- QUATTRO PRO with your EMS, run EMSTEST.COM (type EMSTEST at the DOS
- prompt) and follow the instructions.
-
-
- 7. Notes on Sample Clip Art
- ---------------------------
- Included with QUATTRO PRO is a PicturePak (TM) Clip Art Sampler of 64
- different images, from PicturePak by Marketing Graphics Inc (MGI). The
- installation program will automatically unzip the clip art images to
- your QUATTRO PRO directory. To include any of these images in your
- QUATTRO PRO graphs, choose / Graph|Annotate to go into the QUATTRO PRO
- annotation feature. Choose / Clipboard|Paste From and pick the .CLP
- file you wish to paste into your graph. There are many other images
- available from MGI.
-
- Please see the enclosed brochure for further information regarding
- clip art images for QUATTRO PRO.
-
-
- 8. Using Mouse Drivers with EGA and VGA Graphics Cards
- ------------------------------------------------------
- Early versions of mouse drivers don't support screen display modes
- larger than 80 columns by 24 lines. As a result, your mouse driver
- might not work correctly when you use QUATTRO PRO's enhanced display
- modes EGA 80x43, VGA 80x50, or EGA/VGA graphics modes. The following
- chart will assist you in determining if your mouse driver will work
- correctly with the enhanced display modes.
-
- Mouse Version that supports EGA 80x43 and VGA 80x50
- ------------- ---------------------------------------------
- Microsoft 6.11 or higher
- Mouse Systems 6.01 or higher
- Logitech 4.0 or higher
- PC Mouse 6.01 or higher
-
-
- 9. Legal Size Paper and Graphics Printing on HP-LaserJet Printers
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- If you are using an HP LaserJet IID, IIP, or III with a legal size
- paper tray, you will need to manually change some settings on the
- front panel of the printer. On the IID, IIP, and III you need to
- select PAPER=LEGAL. In addition, the IIP needs to have MP=LEGAL.
-
- You should also make sure that the ORIENTATION=P whenever you are do-
- ing graphics or graph printing on these printers.
-
- The above statements don't apply to the HP-LaserJet II. Consult your
- HP-LaserJet Users' Guide for information on changing the front panel
- settings.
-
-
- 10. Network Printing
- --------------------
- If you encounter extraneous blank pages before and after printing to a
- network printer, use device Parallel 1 or Parallel 2. Do not use the
- logical device options LPT1 or LPT2. This device option is set through
-
- /Options|Hardware|Printers|1st (or 2nd)Printer|Device
-
- The Parallel 1 device is equivalent to LPT1 and Parallel 2 is equiva-
- lent to LPT2. If your network printers are installed using LPT3, LPT4,
- or LPT5, you must redefine these options for LPT1 or LPT2 and use
- Parallel 1 or Parallel 2 Device options within QUATTRO PRO.
-
-
- 11. DIF File Format
- -------------------
- QUATTRO PRO supports the DIF file format for data interchange devel-
- oped by Software Arts Products Corporation and used by VisiCalc. Al-
- though other programs may import/export DIF files, they aren't neces-
- sarily the same file format. Consequently, they may not be compatible
- with QUATTRO PRO. Please refer to the appropriate documentation for
- information regarding compatibility with the original DIF file format.
