- Total Investor Version 2.02
- ---------------------------
- This file contains important information that is not contained in
- the documentation for Total Investor. Please read it carefully. All
- information in this file supersedes information in the Total Investor
- documentation.
-
- Documentation Files
- -------------------
- The file TIDOC.EXE is a self extracting archival file which will
- create the documentation for Total Investor. An archival file allows a
- large documentation file to be stored in a smaller disk space. The
- documentation can be created in an ASCII file named TI.DOC or output
- directly to a printer.
-
- To create the ASCII file TI.DOC with a hard disk, set your DOS
- Path to be the subdirectory where you have 1-2-3 installed. For
- instance, from the root directory, enter "CD 123" if 123 was the name
- of the subdirectory. Put the Total Investor program disk in drive A
- and type "A:TIDOC.EXE" at the DOS prompt. Make sure that you have at
- least 165K bytes free on the drive where you intend to store the
- documentation.
-
- If you have a floppy drive, put your Total Investor disk in drive
- A and a blank formatted disk in drive B. If your current drive is A
- such that the "A>" prompt shows type "B:" followed by Enter. The type
- "A:TIDOC.EXE" at the DOS prompt. This will create the file TI.DOC on
- the B drive.
-
- You can print out the documentation by typing "TIDOC.EXE -P"
- followed by Enter. Make sure your printer is set to 66 lines per page
- and that 60 sheets of paper are available. You can also use your
- favorite word processor or editor to view or print out the file TI.DOC
- or use the DOS command "COPY TI.DOC PRN:".
-
- RETRIEVING PORTFOLIOS FROM PRIOR VERSIONS OF TOTAL INVESTOR
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- If you are currently using an older version of Total Investor
- there is no need to manually re-enter your securities and capital gains
- to use the newer version. Versions 1.04 and greater can use the
- Portfolio commands to accomplish this. Load the old version into 1-2-3
- and use the Portfolio menu Save command to store your portfolios to
- disk. Then load the new version of Total Investor and use the
- Portfolio Retrieve command to merge this information into the program.
- The Portfolio Name command will next be used add this portfolio to the
- list that Total Investor will track. When you have retrieved and named
- all of your portfolios, use the main menu Save command to store this
- new information.
-
- Versions of Total Investor earlier than 1.04 allowed only one
- portfolio per spreadsheet. Load the previous version of TI into 1-2-3
- and then hit Enter to go to the main menu. The type "O" for Other
- followed by "O" for Off. Then use Lotus 1-2-3's commands as follows,
- /FXFPORT~A1..J144~. This will extract the portfolio information in the
- range A1..J144 into the file name PORT.WK1 and store this file on the
- 123 default drive. Then load the new version of Total Investor and use
- the Portfolio Retrieve and Name commands as described in the above
- paragraph.
