- I. THE SUPER MORSE MANUAL
-
- The Super Morse user manual is contained in the file, SM.DOC. The
- manual can be printed out with the following commands:
-
- COPY SM.DOC PRN:
-
- II. DATA FILE LOCATION
-
- Versions prior to 1.04 required that all data files (those with HLP and SM
- extensions) be placed in a special subdirectory named \SM. Since this proved
- very confusing to many users, I have eliminated this requirement. If you
- already have Super Morse installed with a \SM subdirectory, you should copy all
- files with an SM and an HLP extension to the directory in which SM.EXE is
- located. If you choose to leave SM.EXE in the \SM subdirectory, no changes
- will be required. If you are installing Super Morse for the first time, you
- can ignore the foregoing.
-
- If you run Super Morse on a floppy disk, DO NOT USE A WRITE
- PROTECT TAB!

-
- III. SPEED CALIBRATION
-
- Before you run Super Morse you should calibrate the code speed to suit the
- clock speed for your computer and to account for any memory resident programs
- which you have loaded. Each time you change the memory resident program
- enviroment you will need to recalibrate code speed. When doing so use the
- following procedure:
-
- 1. Select the <T>ools command from the main menu.
-
- 2. Select the <A>uto Calibrate subcommand. This will automatically
- provide an approximate calibration. For best results continue with the
- following steps.
-
- 3. Select the <S>peed test subcommand.
-
- 4. After the number of words specified in the send speed is
- sent, the actual time required and a suggested direction of change for the
- timing factor are indicated.
-
- 5. Keep running the <S>peed test and adjusting the timing factor
- until almost exactly 60 seconds are required for the speed test. Due
- to the nature of the PC clock, it may not be possible to attain exactly
- 60 seconds. To be on the safe side try for slightly under 60 seconds.
-
- On my Zenith Z-150 with a NEC V-20 running at 4.77 MHz. and with no memory
- resident programs installed, the timing factor is about 1220. With several
- memory resident programs installed, the timing factor decreased to considerably
- less than that (in the 600 range).
