- How to use PitStop America
-
-
- This program is designed to be used in conjunction with a map.
- Determine your route on the map, program it into the computer as
- asked, and the program will tell you approximately where you need
- to sleep and refuel. These are estimates only. Use your own
- common sense when on the road, refuel and sleep when necessary. I
- always refuel before the suggested stop, just to be sure.
- One way that this program is useful is in comparing routes.
- Choose a route, program it in, then print the results. Choose a
- second, third, etc. and print those results as well. You now can
- compare the different routes and determine which is shortest, best
- for you, whatever.
- If your city is not on the list of available starting points/
- destinations, one suggestion is to work from the city closest to you.
- Another is to register the program and use PitStop America II, which
- supports over 2000 cities, as well as US Highways and some state
- highways. See the registration notice for info on how to register.

- HOW TO LOAD PITSTOP AMERICA
-
- PitStop America I expects to find all its data files on the
- same disk as the main program. Enter basic, and type
- RUN "PITSTOP". The program is pretty much self explanitory from
- there, but you will need to have an atlas on hand. You have to
- enter fuel and driving data before you can run the rest of the
- program.
- The file HYCHOICE.DOC contains a list of all cities supported
- in this version for starting points, and the interstates which the
- program will accept as starting on from them. It might be a good
- idea to print this file out so that this information is handy while
- running PitStop.
