- To use the NEAT Filer, you will need the following equipment:
-
- - IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, 386, 486, or 100% COMPATIBLE clone
- - 640 KB RAM Memory
- - Monochrome or Color Monitor
- - DOS 2.0 or Higher
- - A Hard Disk
- - A 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" Floppy Disk Drive
- - The NEAT Filer program executable
-
- The NEAT Filer is delivered on one standard diskette. The distribution
- diskette contains three files. One file is the NF.EXE executable program
- file. The other is NF_DOC.TXT which is the file containing your
- documentation. This file which you are reading is READ_1ST.DOC.
-
- Before you can use NEAT Filer on your system, you must first install it
- on your hard disk. The directory on your hard disk in which you will
- place the NEAT Filer is entirely up to you. It is advisable to place
- the executable (NF.EXE) in a public directory. That would be a
- directory listed in the path statement in your autoexec.bat.
-
- For this example, we will assume you wish to copy NEAT Filer to the "c"
- drive "root" directory of your hard disk (c:\>). Insert the disk
- containing the NEAT Filer executable (NF.EXE) and documentation file
- (NF_DOC.TXT) into disk drive "a:". You must be in DOS and logged to
- your hard drive "c:\>". Terminate any applications you may be running
- at present.
-
- At the DOS command prompt (c:\>) type - "copy a:nf*.*" then press
- <enter>. The file NF.EXE and NF_DOC.TXT will be copied to the "root"
- directory of "c:" drive.
-
- The NEAT Filer was designed to be intuitive, as well as easy to use.
- It is hoped that the documentation provided with the program can be
- used for reference rather than instruction. I suggest that you first
- read the section 10-1, but after that just go ahead and type NF and
- press <enter> and go for it! If you run across something you don't
- understand, then look it up.
-
- To start the NEAT Filer, type NF <enter>.
