           God has burdened my heart with the plight of all the people
     in this world who don't know where their next meal will come from (or
     if). I hope you will join with me and others to help eradicate hunger
     as a cause of death on this earth. I know this sounds impossible, and
     it surely is if we do nothing about it. We can at least make a very
     large dent in this problem. I am working on other software to
     distribute in the same manner. I pray that the Lord may see fit to let
     this concept catch on and use it to further His work in the world.
     Heart-Soft is more of a concept than a company.  My desire is to make it
     easy for you to justify helping someone else.  I hope the concept will
     catch on.  If you feel as I do let me know.

                          Flowchrt Operating Instructions

     Two files are required to run Flowchrt.  They are 'FLOWCHRT.EXE' and
     'FLOWCHRT.001'.  FLOWCHRT.001 must be in your working directory but
     FLOWCHRT.EXE may be found by a path.

         To run Flowchrt type 'FLOWCHRT' from the MSDOS prompt.  The program
     will display the Heart-Soft initial screen.  Type any key to continue.
     You will now be asked three questions that may seem strange.

     MAX FORWARD REFERENCES TO TRAK: [19]

     MAX BACKWARD REFERENCES TO TRAK: [19]

     MAX CHARS OF SOURCE LINE TO DISPLAY PER DISPLAY LINE: [40]

     These refer to how the program will appear.
     Flowchrt displays your program in three columns source line, forward
     references, and backward references.  The questions refer to how many print
     positions you want to dedicate to each.  The default settings are shown
     in the square brackets.  Next you will see this message.

     Total output line size is  79

                            Is this correct? (Y,N)

     Notice that if you took the defaults this number is 1 greater than the
     sum of the numbers.  This is because I put a space after the display line
     just to keep things looking pretty.  If you need to you can specify upto
     104 positions for forward/backward references and upto 80 for the source
     line.  If the settings match your requirements answer 'Y' to the question
     (Note: You will only be asked these questions once per program execution).
     Next you will be asked to enter the input filespec.  You may type a
     pathname in here if you like.  The file must have been saved with the 'A'
     option on the save command (This makes the BASIC program int just another
     ASCII text file).  Next you will be asked to enter the output filespec.
     You may send the program to any valid file or devicename you like (If
     you have a hard disk, you will find it faster to send the flowchart out to
     a disk file).  Next you will be asked to specify a heading line for the
     flowchart.  This option allows you to put your own heading on the
     flowchart.  You can also use this line to enter any escape sequences or
     such to set up your printer.  Once you hit return you're off and running.
     When Flowchrt finishes it will beep and ask you if you want to exit.  If
     you need flowcharts of several programs say 'N' and you will be asked for
     another input filespec.  Here is an example flowchart generated by
     Flowchrt.
