Envelope Maker 3.3
About Envelope Maker -------------------------------------------
Envelope Maker is an easy to use, full feature envelope printing
application that makes the job of printing envelopes a breeze. It
runs on all IBM and compatible computers in a minimum of 265K of
RAM. It requires an Epson or IBM compatible dot matrix printer.
Envelope Maker is a shareware product, which means that you can
try it before you buy it, and freely copy and share the program
with your friends.
There are three steps to using Envelope Maker:
1. Installing the Envelope Maker files.
2. Running the Program
3. Reading the User's Guide
In the directions that follow, <Enter> means press the Enter or
Return key.
Installing Envelope Maker --------------------------------------
Envelope Maker may be installed on any drive/directory on your
hard disk or, ran from a floppy disk drive. The only requirement
is that ENV.EXE, ENV.IDX, ENV.PRO, ENV.DAT and TITLE.DAT files be
on the same drive and directory.
Registered users receive one of two versions of the program file
(ENV.EXE). The first, optimized for CPUs 8088 thru 80186. This
version will have a /U suffix, marked after the version designa-
tion on the disk. The second version's for 80286 thru 80486 CPUs.
This version will have a /F suffix, marked after the version
designation on the disk. If you didn't designate your CPU type
when you registered, or you're not sure of the type, you'll
receive /U type. This is the universal version that will run on
all IBM and compatible computers. NEVER attempt to run the /F
type on a computer that has an 8088 through 80186 CPU! It will
only run correctly if your computer has an 80286 or higher CPU.
Installing on floppy only system: With your DOS system disk in
drive A: and a blank diskette in drive B: type:
Format B: /s <Enter>
After formatting put this disk in drive A. Put the Envelope Maker
distribution disk in drive B and type:
