-
- WARNING:
- Some memory-resident programs (TSRs) conflict with MATH
- WORKOUT. If you get a message "All EMS buffers are
- locked", or experience any other problems, try running MATH
- WORKOUT again after having removed TSRs one at a time.
-
-
-
- Verify that you have the right number of disks.
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- If you have 5.25" 360k drives, you should have two disks.
- Otherwise, you should have only one disk. That is, you should
- have one 3.5" 720k disk or one 5.25" 1.2mg disk.
-
- Verify that the program disk(s) contains all the files.
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- The list of files is found in the file named MWFILES.DOC
- To print out that file, insert the program disk (Disk 2 if you
- have two disks) into the A drive, at the DOS prompt type COPY
- A:MWFILES.DOC PRN, and hit [Enter].
-
- To see a list of the files on the disk(s), insert the disk in
- the A drive, at the DOS prompt type DIR A:, hit [Enter].
-
- If there are any files missing, contact me immediately.
- Do not attempt to install.
-
-
- Make a copy of the program disk(s).
- ----------------------------------
-
- Use either the DISKCOPY command or the COPY command.
-
- To use the DISKCOPY command:
- ---------------------------
- The disks you copy TO must be the same type as the disks you
- copy FROM. At the DOS prompt, type DISKCOPY A: B: to copy the
- disk in the A drive onto the disk in the B drive. If your
- drives are lettered differently, enter the appropriate letters.
- Also, this command will destroy files on the destination disk,
- so, the disk you copy to should not have any files on it when
- you start. Repeat if you're using 360k disks.
- NOTE: You can diskcopy from A: to A:, e.g. DISKCOPY A: A:
-
- To use the COPY command:
- -----------------------
- Type COPY A:*.* B: to copy all of the files from the disk in
- the A drive to the disk in the B drive. If your drives are
- lettered differently, enter the appropriate letters. Repeat if
- you're using 360k disks.

- | VERY IMPORTANT ! |
- | |
- | IF: 1. you are installing from two disks, AND THIS IS |
- | NOT A DISK PROVIDED BY DOBRIN COMPANY |
- | |
- | OR 2. you received MATH WORKOUT on a single disk, or |
- | downloaded it from a BBS, and you are GIVING A |
- | COPY TO A FRIEND ON TWO DISKS, |
- | |
- | THEN, YOU MUST: |
- | ---- |
- | |
- | Make sure that you place the files on the two disks |
- | as per the list on the 2nd page of MWFILES.DOC |

- WHAT INSTALLATION DOES
- ----------------------
-
- Installation does 5 things.
- 1. Creates the subdirectory you choose to install to
- if you install to a hard drive (the default is MWV1).
- 2. Copies all files to wherever you install to.
- 3. Creates a subdirectory called DATA under the
- subdirectory you installed to.
- 4. Moves the sample .HIS files to the DATA subdirectory.
- 5. Creates a file called MWHISTP.ATH which is used
- to tell MATH WORKOUT what the History Path is.

- ======= SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR RUNNING ON A FLOPPY DRIVE =======
-
-
-
- NOTE: You can only run MATH WORKOUT off a floppy drive if
- you have a 3.5" drive or a High Density 5.25"
- drive. You can't run off a 360k drive !
-
-
-
-
- Read and follow the directions in the INSTALLATION:
- BASICS section first.
-
-
- Use the copy of the program disk, not the original.
-
-
- NOTE: You can install to another floppy if you want.
- e.g. You can install to a floppy on the B drive
- from a floppy on the A drive.
-
-
-
- VERY IMPORTANT: While you run MATH WORKOUT, you must
- keep the Program Disk in the drive.
-
-
-
- Before you proceed to install, read the section on ISSUING
- THE MWINSTAL COMMAND.

-
- ======= SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR RUNNING ON A NETWORK =======
-
-
- You must obtain a site license to run on a network.
-
- Read and follow the directions in the INSTALLATION:
- BASICS section first.
-
-
- Only one user (the first user) at a time will have "write"
- access to MATH WORKOUT Program files. This means
- that only that user will be able to add, modify, or delete
- user names, user passwords, and student ID numbers.
- Since such changes occur rarely, this should not present
- a major problem. However, you should be aware of it.
-
- History files are a different story. Score History files
- are "owned" by each user. Comprehensive History is shared,
- but it takes only a split second for MATH WORKOUT to open,
- write, and close the file, so it is extremely unlikely that
- a conflict will occur.
-
- MATH WORKOUT should run on any Network that will run Lotus
- 1-2-3. However, compatibility can not be guaranteed.
-
- MATH WORKOUT will issue a "read-only" warning to everyone
- who runs it, except the first user. The message is:
- "File is read-only. Load it without a reservation (Y/N)?Y"
- Just hit [Enter] when you see this message.
-
- You may permanently suppress this "read-only" message by
- issuing the following commands:
- SETDISP MWV1 /W for MATH WORKOUT
- SETDISP MWBONUS1 /W for the BONUS PROGRAM
- You'll see "Finished!" after you issue the command.
-
- If you install multiple copies of MATH WORKOUT, make sure you
- install each copy in a different subdirectory. If the
- History Path is on a hard drive, it must be different for
- each copy. If it's not, several users with the same user
- code will write to the same Score History file, which will
- result in "nonsense" graphs. If the History Path is on a
- floppy, and each computer on the network has its own floppy
- drive, then, of course, the History Path may be the same for
- every copy of MATH WORKOUT.

- ======= SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR RUNNING ON CERTAIN MONITORS =======
-
-
- This section only pertains to you if you have one of the
- following display configurations:
-
- 1. Hercules Graphic Card and a monochrome monitor.
- 2. Hercules Monochrome Card and a color video card.
-
-
-
-
- If you have a Hercules Graphic Card and a monochrome monitor,
- do one of the following:
-
- 1. Add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- containing MSHERC
-
- Note: You must either copy the file MSHERC.COM
- (supplied with MATH WORKOUT) to the
- subdirectory containing your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file or add the program subdirectory
- to your Path.
-
- 2. Issue the MSHERC command before running MATH WORKOUT,
- the Install Program, or the Bonus Program.
-
- 3. Add the command MSHERC to the beginning
- of MWRUN.BAT, MWINSTAL.BAT, and MWBP.BAT
-
-
-
-
- If you have a Hercules Monochrome Card and a color video card,
- do one of the following:
-
- 1. Add a line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
- containing the following command MSHERC /H
-
- Note: You must either copy the file MSHERC.COM
- (supplied with MATH WORKOUT) to the
- subdirectory containing your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file or add the program subdirectory
- to your Path.
-
- 2. Issue the MSHERC /H command before running
- MATH WORKOUT, the Install Program, or the Bonus
- Program.
-
- 3. Add the command MSHERC /H to the beginning of
- MWRUN.BAT, MWINSTAL.BAT and MWBP.BAT
-

-
- ======= ISSUING THE MWINSTAL COMMAND =======
-
-
- Step 1. Go to wherever the program files are located.
- That is, change the current path to the one
- containing the program files.
-
- - If you're installing from a FLOPPY drive,
- then insert the program disk into the drive,
- and change the current drive to that drive.
-
- - If you're installing from a HARD drive,
- just go to the subdirectory that contains the
- program files.
-
- Step 2. Type MWINSTAL
-
- Step 3. Hit [Enter]
