MED#1 System requirements:
---------------------------
MS-DOS 2.0 (or greater)
640k of memory (* required)
Monochrome (or color) monitor
(1) 5 1/4" floppy disk drive (for loading of software)
(1) hard disk drive (for program and data files)
(1) printer (any dot matrix)
NO SPECIAL FORMS ARE REQUIRED. ALL REPORTS WILL BE
PRINTED ON 8 1/2" X 11" STANDARD STOCK PAPER.
(Note - MED#1 is a single user system and is not qualified for
multi-user, or network, usage.)
Files contained on your distribution disks:
-------------------------------------------
disk #1 README.1ST = Basic instructions
MED10001.OVL = Program (part 2 of 4)
MED10002.OVL = Program (part 3 of 4)
MED10003.OVL = Program (part 4 of 4)
MANUAL.SW4 = User manual (part 4 of 4)
disk #2 MED1.EXE = Program (part 1 of 4)
disk #3 MANUAL.BAT = Routine to print user manual
MED_UPDT.EXE = Routine needed to update files
from versions 1.03,1.04, and 1.05
MANUAL.SW1 = User manual (part 1 of 4)
MANUAL.SW2 = User manual (part 2 of 4)
MANUAL.SW3 = User manual (part 3 of 4)
Steps to follow for primary system installation:
------------------------------------------------
1. Make a backup of the MED#1 distribution disks and store
the originals in a save place. Use the newly created
backup disks for all following installation instructions.
2. Check to insure that you have a 'CONFIG.SYS' file in your
root directory with the following MINIMUM values:
FILES = 20
BUFFERS = 8
If you do not have a 'CONFIG.SYS' file, or it does not
contain these minimum values, consult your DOS manual on
how to create/modify your 'CONFIG.SYS' file.
(Note - MED#1 will not operate properly, and may crash, if
your 'CONFIG.SYS' file does not exist with these values.
If you needed to create, or modify, your 'CONFIG.SYS' file
be sure that you reboot your system before you continue.
Your system only reads the values contained in your
'CONFIG.SYS' file at initial system boot.)
3. From your root directory create a sub-directory that will
contain your MED#1 program and data files. The following
DOS command will create a sub-directory called "MED1".
C>MD\MED1 <return>
4. Once you have created the sub-directory, select the new
sub-directory by entering:
C>CD\MED1 <return>
5. Insert MED#1 distribution disk #1 into drive A. Copy the
contents of drive A into the newly created MED1 sub-
directory by entering the following DOS command:
C>COPY A:*.* <return>
Remove disk from drive A upon completion.
Repeat this process for disk #2 (and disk #3 if
provided).
6. Print your user manual and read before going any
further (user manual will be found only on disk #3):
a: turn on your printer
b: enter C>MANUAL <return>
------------------------------------------
Steps to follow for installation of upgrades and new versions:
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Make a backup of the MED#1 distribution disks and store
the originals in a save place. Use the newly created
backup disks for all following installation instructions.
2. Backup your current data files. It is possible that
new versions of MED#1 will require modification of
your current data files. This file modification (if
needed) will be performed for you upon your initial
loading of the new MED#1 program. To provide you a
safe point of recovery in case of any unexpected
problems you should always make a backup of your
current data files prior executing any new version of
MED#1.
3. Select your MED#1 sub-directory by entering:
C>CD\MED1 <return>
4. Insert MED#1 distribution disk #1 into drive A. Copy the
contents of drive A into the newly created MED1 sub-
directory by entering the following DOS command:
C>COPY A:*.* <return>
Remove disk from drive A upon completion.
Repeat this process for disk #2 (and disk #3 if
provided).
5. Load MED#1 by entering:
C>MED1 <return>
Upon initial load of MED#1 any files needing to be
modified will automatically be upgraded by MED#1.
------------------------------------------
* Note: If you are currently a user of Version 1.03, 1.04, or
1.05 upon installation of Version 1.06 you will be requested to
to run MED_UPDT.EXE. This program will update your old files to the
new formats required by version 1.06.
ALL COPIES OF MED#1 WILL INITIALLY LOAD AS 'UNREGISTERED' HAVING A 100
PATIENT LIMIT. THIS PATIENT LIMIT WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE ENTRY
OF A VALID 'USER REGISTRATION NUMBER' INTO YOUR PRACTICE DATA. THIS
'USER REGISTRATION NUMBER' IS UNIQUE TO EACH USER AND IS PROVIDED TO
THE USER UPON RECEIPT OF A FULLY PAID AND PROPERLY FILLED OUT
REGISTRATION FORM. WHEN YOU SEND IN THIS FORM CHECK TO INSURE THAT
YOUR PRACTICE NAME IS ENTERED EXACTLY AS YOU WISH IT TO BE - ANY
CHANGES IN ENTERING YOUR PRACTICE NAME WILL INVALIDATE YOUR UNIQUE
REGISTRATION NUMBER.

>FREE BUG REPLACEMENT DISKS (These free replacement disks
will be for any bug that results in either an abnormal
program termination, or that results in loss of data
integrity. You will be notified of program problems
