MATHCAD DOCUMENTS
.TXT 2 8 5 72
a5,71,70,208
The MathCAD Auxiliary Disk contains many sample documents. You can
load these documents into MathCAD to see some ways to use MathCAD's 
features.

See the file DIRECTRY.MCD for a list of these documents.

UNITS DOCUMENTS
.TXT 2 8 12 69
a12,68,66,496
The MathCAD Auxiliary Disk includes three files that contain unit
conversions.

CGS.MCD contains unit conversions in the cgs system, based on
centimeters, grams, and seconds. All units, including electrical
units, are defined in terms of these base units.

MKS.MCD contains unit conversions in the MKS system, based on
meters, kilograms, seconds, and coulombs.

USCUSTOM.MCD contains unit conversions based on the U.S. Customary
units of feet, pounds (mass), seconds, and coulombs.
.TXT 13 0 3 65
a3,64,62,129
You can add these conversions into files you create, or append
them to the end of your files using the MathCAD append
command.

REDISPLAY COMMAND
.TXT 2 8 18 67
a18,66,64,740
If you suspect that the MathCAD display screen is not accurately
reflecting the state of a document, or if equations on screen
have gaps or overlap one another, use the redisplay command by
pressing [Ctrl]R. This redisplays the whole screen.

Here are some actions that can cause the display to have gaps or
unreadable parts:

    1. Regions that overlap one another on the screen.

    2. Error messages from an equation or plot that coincide
       on screen with other regions.

    3. Cutting and pasting equations that overlap one another.

None of these problems can cause computational errors; they
affect the display only. When the information on the screen is
unclear, press [Ctrl]R to redisplay everything.

PRINTING DOCUMENTS
.TXT 2 7 3 68
a3,67,65,153
If your printer works with other programs but not with MathCAD,
MathCAD may be having difficulty communicating with your printer.
Check the following:
.TXT 4 0 2 65
a2,64,72,124
PARALLEL PRINTERS: Specify PRN or LPT1 as the printer device.
(Specify LPT2 if the printer is on the second parallel port.
.TXT 3 0 7 66
a7,65,65,275
SERIAL PRINTERS: First execute the following DOS commands:

    MODE COM1: 9600,N,8,1,P           (or other parameters as
                                      appropriate for printer)
    MODE LPT1:= COM1

Then, when MathCAD prompts for a printer device, specify PRN.
.TXT 8 0 8 69
a8,68,72,325
PLOTTERS: First execute the following DOS command:

    MODE COM1: 9600,N,8,1,P           (see your plotter manual to
                                      make sure this is correct.)

Then, when MathCAD prompts for a printer device, specify COM1. DO
NOT use LPT1 or PRN, even if you have redirected them to COM1.

.TXT 8 -7 1 37
a1,36,78,35
WHAT TO DO IF MATHCAD CANNOT PRINT
.TXT 2 7 4 68
a4,67,71,246
First, check that your printer is compatible with a model that
MathCAD supports. See the description of printing in the User's
Guide and the descriptions of each printer driver in the printed
Release Notes in the disk pocket of your package.
.TXT 5 0 18 71
a18,70,68,636
If MathCAD cannot print directly, try printing to a file as follows:

   1. Print the document to a file. Type [Esc] print [Enter].
   When MathCAD prompts you for a print area, press [Enter].
   Then, in place of the printer device, specify a filename like
   OUTPUT.PRN.

   2. Save your document and exit MathCAD by pressing [Ctrl]Q.

   3. At the DOS prompt, type:

               COPY /B OUTPUT.PRN PRN

   This sends the print file to the printer. Substitute the
   filename you used in step 1 for OUTPUT.PRN and the name of
   the port to which your printer is attached (for example,
   LPT1 or COM1) for PRN.

.TXT 18 -7 1 18
a1,17,78,16
REPLACE COMMAND
.TXT 2 7 4 67
a4,66,64,222
MathCAD will not always recalculate equations as necessary
after using the replace command ([Ctrl][F6]). After a replace
command, do a process command to ensure that the calculations in
the document are up to date.
.TXT 5 -7 1 31
a1,30,78,29
AT & T 6300 SERIES COMPUTERS
.TXT 2 7 7 70
a7,69,67,200
To run in high-resolution mode (640x400 color or monochrome) on an
AT&T 6300 series computer, type:

    MCAD /A

If you do not type /A, MathCAD runs in CGA-emulation mode (640x200
monochrome).
.TXT 8 -7 1 35
a1,34,78,33
L/I/M EXPANDED MEMORY LIMITATION
.TXT 2 7 2 65
a2,64,63,80
In MathCAD 2.00, MathCAD uses at most 1 megabyte of available
expanded memory.
