-
- *** FLIPPY DISKS ****
-
- Some of the CP/M-80 distribution disks do not have sufficient space and/or
- directory space for all the programs to fit on a single side. Therefore, the
- distribution disks used for these formats are flippy, ie there are files on
- both sides of the disk. The disk label will inform you if your disk is a
- flippy.
-
- *** TIME DELAY FOR DISPLAY OF COPYRIGHT MESSAGE ***
-
- It is a requirement of the publisher that the Copyright message be displayed
- for at least 20 seconds each time the system is started. However, the timing
- delay built in to the program may be longer or shorter, depending on the
- hardware being used. This delay is built into the START program on Disk A:
- and may be adjusted using MODI COMM or a word processor. The following loop
- is positioned just below the text of the copyright message.
-
- STORE 1000 TO DELAY
- DO WHILE DELAY>0
- STORE DELAY-1 TO DELAY
- LOOP
- ENDDO
-
- To shorten the delay, reduce the "1000" to a lower figure. To lengthen the
- delay time, increase the "1000" to a higher figure.
-
- *** USING PRE-PRINTED STATIONERY ***
-
- The system has been designed to use pre-printed Invoice and Statement sets
- which are available under the REDIFORM brand. For Invoices, use form R 195/IMS
- and for Statements R 196/IMS.
-
- *** EXTENDED FACILITIES DURING INITIALISATION ***
-
- To conserve space on the distribution disk, the main Initialisation program
- INITMEM has been extended to automatically create the Index files on Disk B:
- Therefore, the distribution disk you receive does not contain any index files.
- This does not alter the initial start up instructions in any way. The function
- available to re-initialise memory files from the INSTALLATION MENU within the
- system itself has not been changed and does not re-create indexes.
-
- Note that the Company name and address included in both these initialisation
- programs is for P D S. You may change this to your own details by using MODI
- COMM or a word processor to edit the INITMEM and INITMEM1 programs.
