- Getting Started without the Manual
- (.. and Change Notes)
-
- Once you have copied the INSET SYSTEM disk on to your Work
- disk, run the INSET.EXE program to configure INSET for your
- system.
-
- Then, run the TEST.BAT program to verify that INSET is
- installed properly for your system.
-
- Remember, if all else fails read the manual. It's informative
- and it has lots of pictures!

- of the supported screen modes until the proper screen mode
- is found.
