- ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
-
- How does the program manage without using filenames ?
-
- Answer: The program does use filenames. However, it is not
- necessary for you to know them. The program represents each
- file with a record in its database. The records contain the
- filename, location of the file and which application is
- needed.
-
-
- What about my existing files that already have filenames ?
-
- Answer: No problem. You can make Perfect Recall recognize
- any filename. Furthermore, utility programs are provided
- that will read your disks and automatically construct
- records for existing files.
-
-
- Does Perfect Recall have a fixed format for storing things or
- can I configure it to my own needs ?
-
- Answer: Perfect Recall can be fully customize to accommodate
- any type of work. Furthermore, you can completely re-
- organize everything at a later date without re-entering
- data.
-
-
- Will it load files into any application program ?
-
- Answer: Yes. Application specific instructions can be
- created to load files into any program including windows.
- Only OS/2 programs are not supported as yet. This will come
- later.
-
-
- What kind of computer hardware is needed ?
- System Requirements
-
- Required memory: Perfect Recall will run on any IBM
- compatible computer with DOS 3.1 or later. The program
- requires about 545k of memory. This is accomplished however
- by usig overlays which the program must swap in and out of
- memory from time to time. In order to prevent this from
- slowing things down your computer will require about
- 1/2 megabyte of EMS memory or RAM disk space. Todays
- computers typically have 2-3 megabytes of EMS memory.
-
- Hard disk: Perfect Recall must be installed on a hard disk
- with 1.9 megabytes of space available.
-
- Microprocessor speed: Although Perfect Recall will run on any
- IBM compatible system it is never-the-less unrealistic to
- attempt it on anything less than a 286. Above a 286 the
- type of processor will not make a great deal of difference
- in speed. What will make a difference is a fast hard disk
- or extra memory for a RAM disk and one mega EMS.
