- Using Science Fair from Windows
-
- If you meet these criteria: Your computer uses an EGA or VGA compatible
- monitor and you are using an EPSON or HP LASERJET comptible printer, then
-
- You can place a Science Fair Graphs & Numbers (SF) icon in Windows and
- run SF by clicking on the "SF" icon. Follow these instructions:
-
- 1. Begin Windows. Open the group where you want to set up SF. For
- example, if you want to run SF from your MAIN window, open that window.
-
- 2. From the File menu, choose New. The New Program dialog box appears.
-
- 3. Select the Program Item option, then OK.
-
- 4. The Program Item Properties dialog box appears. This box is used to tell
- Windows where the program is located and how to run the program.
-
- 5. In the Description: field, enter Science Fair.
-
- 6. In the Command Line: field, enter C:\SF\SF.BAT. What you enter may be
- slightly different according to what drive and what subdirectory you
- specified to install SF.
-
- 7. Click on the Change Icon... button. A message will appear telling you
- that an icon is not available. Click OK.
-
- 8. A new dialog box will appear in which you can specify what icon to use.
- In the File Name: field, enter C:\SF\SCIFAIR.ICO. What you enter may be
- slightly different according to what drive and what subdirectory you
- specified to install SF. Click OK.
-
- 9. The Program Item Properties dialog box will appear again, and the SF
- icon will appear at the bottom left of the box. Click OK. The SF icon will
- now appear in Windows. To begin SF, double click on the icon. When you
- end SF, you will return to Windows.
-
- If you have problems, try creating a SF.PIF file using the Windows PIF
- editor (check you Windows documentation), and experimenting with the option
- fields -- particularly the memory field.
