How to use PitStop America
This program is designed to be used in conjunction with a map.
Determine your route on the map, program it into the computer as
asked, and the program will tell you approximately where you need
to sleep and refuel. These are estimates only. Use your own
common sense when on the road, refuel and sleep when necessary. I
always refuel before the suggested stop, just to be sure.
One way that this program is useful is in comparing routes.
Choose a route, program it in, then print the results. Choose a
second, third, etc. and print those results as well. You now can
compare the different routes and determine which is shortest, best
for you, whatever.
If your city is not on the list of available starting points/
destinations, one suggestion is to work from the city closest to you.
Another is to register the program and use PitStop America II, which
supports over 2000 cities, as well as US Highways and some state
highways. See the registration notice for info on how to register.
HOW TO LOAD PITSTOP AMERICA
PitStop America I expects to find all its data files on the
same disk as the main program. Enter basic, and type
RUN "PITSTOP". The program is pretty much self explanitory from
there, but you will need to have an atlas on hand. You have to
enter fuel and driving data before you can run the rest of the
program.
The file HYCHOICE.DOC contains a list of all cities supported
in this version for starting points, and the interstates which the
program will accept as starting on from them. It might be a good
idea to print this file out so that this information is handy while
running PitStop.
REGISTERING PITSTOP AMERICA
This is a shareware program. You are free to use it as much as
you like, but if you find it useful please register it with the
