- A BRIEF DESCRIPTION
- -------------------
- MFA is a program designed to help people organize thoughts and ideas in the
- form of a flowchart. MFA is a text based program, so it is much faster and
- easier to work with than some graphics based flowchart programs. MFA, being
- text based, has virtually no hardware limitations. Even if you have a daisy
- wheel printer and a monochrome monitor, MFA will work.
-
-
- HOW MICRO FLOWCHART AID WORKS
- -----------------------------
- MFA is very close in design to a spread sheet in that it is cell oriented.
- There are 594 cells in MFA, six columns by 99 rows. The cells can contain
- text, symbols, or lines connecting symbols. MFA comes with a default set of
- 30 symbols and lines. Text can be put in any symbol or on any line. The
- default symbol set contains basic programming symbols. You can design your
- own sets of symbols with a symbol generator that comes with your
- registration kit.
-
-
- MAKE SURE IT'S ALL THERE

- MFA comes with several files. Check the list below against a directory
- listing of the disk.
