- *EXAMPLES
- Some files that are present with dBASE II are EXAMPLE files
- (occassionally on a separate disk). These files are intended to
- be useful as they are, and are internally documented well enough
- for you to customize them to suit your own purposes. Each suite
- of programs listed is progressively more involved, so you can
- start at a level comfortable to you and work up. The master
- program of each group is marked with a '>'.

- *INSTALL
- In order to use dBASE II's Full-screen editing facility, your
- terminal must be properly installed. Many dBASE formats are pre-
- installed. If yours is not your screen will appear jumbled when
- you attempt to perform such full screen operations as APPEND or
- EDIT. To correct this you must install dBASE II by running the
- dBASE II installation program, INSTALL.COM, called from your
- system as INSTALL. Since you may diagnose your terminal's status
- at any time by running STARTUP.PRG (called from the dBASE II "."
- prompt by entering the command DO STARTUP), you would be wise to
- use it before attempting to INSTALL dBASE II. It will tell you
- if you need to run the installation program, and can be used
- later to check the results if you do.
- *EXIT
