- For further information
- -----------------------
- This file contains information for NOVA Version 1.0, which
- is not detailed in the User's Manual. The User's Manual is
- contained in the NOVA.DOC file which you may print out. If
- you encounter any problems installing NOVA, please read
- through this information. If further installation help is
- necessary, feel free to write to us at:

- See the ORDERFRM.DOC file for ordering your registered copy
- of NOVA.
-
- Installing NOVA
- ---------------
- The installation of NOVA is as simple as unzipping all the
- files into the directory of the disk intended for NOVA. If
- you are installing to a 360k floppy disk, unzip the
- documentation file contained in NOVADOC.ZIP to a seperate
- disk. The documentation file is not needed to run NOVA.
-
- Setting screen size and monochrome mode
- ---------------------------------------
- Some video adaptors do not report screen size properly via
- their BIOS. If the screen appears to be drawn improperly
- (the status line is not visible at the bottom of the screen,
- or dialog boxes are not centered on the screen), add the
- following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- SET NOVASCREEN=80,25
-
- You can enter a different value for the number of columns
- or rows if your screen size is not the standard 80 columns
- by 25 rows.
-
- If you are using a monochrome display with a color adaptor,
- NOVA's screen colors may not be right for you. You can
- add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- SET NOVAMONO=TRUE
-
- This will force NOVA into monochrome mode regardless of
- your video adaptor.
-
- Printer Drivers
- ---------------
- To reduce the size of the shareware distribution files, NOVA
- comes with several pre-installed printer drivers that should
- meet the needs of virtually all users. If the printer you
- have can not use one of the pre-installed printers you can
- delete the NOVA.PDB file and the program will use a default
- printer driver that will print on any printer but with
- reduced capabilities.
-
- The registered version of NOVA comes with printer drivers
- for over 500 printers as well as an install program that
- allows specifying the printer port and font cartridges.
-
- Printers supported by the registered version are listed in
- the PRNLIST.ZIP file.
