QUICK START DIRECTIONS
Hard disk installation -
To install to a hard disk, use the command HDINST FROM TO where FROM
is the letter of your floppy drive and TO is the letter designation for
your hard disk. For example, HDINST A D would install the program from
floppy disk A to hard disk D. The installation routine will create a
SLIM30 subdirectory, copy the files into it, and expand the compressed
files. If you have a n$.SLM file (n$ = your name) from Rev 1 or Rev 2,
include it in the SLIM30 subdirectory. SLIMMER Rev 3.0 should translate it
for you. DO NOT INCLUDE ANY OTHER FILES FROM THE OLD REVISION.
NOTE - You will need in excess of 1.2 meg of free space on the hard disk to
install SLIMMER. Additional space will be required for your data
files as SLIMMER is run.
Running SLIMMER -
SLIMMER is started with the command S3. The program will first ask for
your name, then will ask you to verify the date. After that the main menu
will be shown. During your first session, select the first item on the menu
and fill in your personal data and goals. Next go to the Utilities section
and select your Graphics mode and Printer. If you are a REGISTERED user,
select calTab from the main menu. You need not enter or change any data in
CALTAB at this time. Simply <ESC> back to the main menu. 'Visiting' CALTAB
in this way lets SLIMMER know that you are a registered user and allows you
to use the registered user options in the Count Calories / view food tables
section. Now you can enter the Count Calories section and start entering
your daily weight and food items.
Monochrome Monitor -
If you have a monochrome monitor, start SLIMMER with the command:
S3 BW or S3 BW name
Example files -
You may view example data for "SLIM" by entering DEMO from the DOS
prompt. This starts SLIMMER without the opening screens using the command
S3 SLIM. Example data for "SLIM" allows you to view the graphs and to try
out some of the options that are only available to registered users.
