- GCSE Computer Studies Info
- You are recommended to run CalFacts from a directory on your fixed disk. You
- require at least the following files: CFC.EXE, CF_COMP.DAT, CF_COMP.DBT.
- These files are for Computer Studies. To create your new directory, you
- could enter: md C:\cfc (assuming you want to use C: drive) and then copy
- all the files from the diskette(s) into this directory.
-
- You need a minimum of 512K RAM available. If you get a message saying not
- enough memory, remove any memory resident programs.
-
- Start CalFacts by entering CFC, or CFC BW for black and white monitors, or
- CFC LCD for liquid crystal displays on portables.
-
- If absolutely necessary, run CalFacts from a 720K diskette. Alternatively you
- could use two 360K drives, with the EXE on A: and the other files on B:. Log
- onto the B: drive and enter A:CFC. Slow diskette reads will significantly
- degrade performance however.
-
- The operation of CalFacts is very straightforward. Available key presses
- are usually displayed at the bottom line of the screen. Occasionally a
- pop-up box will appear at the centre of the screen to which you must respond
- by selecting your choice (where appropriate) with the left/right arrow keys
- and pressing the <Enter> key. Main menu selections are made by moving the
- highlight using the left/right arrow keys and pressing the <Enter> key.
- Alternatively, the first letter of the menu option may be pressed.
-
- The shareware version will normally be supplied as a single-subject package.
- In this case, CalFacts will automatically open the file at the start of the
- program and will position the menu highlight over the "Continue" option. In
- this event, you do not have to select the "File" option and can simply press
- the <Enter> key to proceed through the facts-review/questioning processes.
-
- At any time that the main menu is active, you can also select a display of
- progress statistics (although statistics history will not normally be provided
- in shareware form), utility options to suppress sound and switch screen
- mode, and a topic/keypoint index.
-
- In brief, just remember the following points about operation:
-
- 1. Proceed by highlighting the appropriate option and pressing <Enter>.
-
- 2. Step back a stage by pressing the <Esc> key.
-
- 3. End the program by pressing the <Esc> key at the main menu.
