GENERIC README-2.DOC Copyright 1991

This is Version 4.0 of Labcoat. The upgrade improves
a new linked program to the Statistics module, called QChart.exe.
A Turbo com file called Exec, mostly thanks to T.U.G. & Bela
Lubkin, makes the DOS call necessary to run Qchart out of Labcoat.
The update includes recompilation with Turbo Pascal's
TINST option 4 to make the executable files more compatible
with strange graphics card / monitor combinations. Some users
have color graphics cards with mono monitors, and this version
attempts to meet their needs also. For those who still have
problems, I am usually happy to try customizations, if they will
contact me directly. IN FACT, I HAVE A MONO ONLY VERSION. To
obtain other versions, print REG.DOC, fill it out and return to
me with whatever pathetically low fee is required. Registration,
even without version requests, is a good idea, you will be mailed
free notification of updates, fixes, etc., and can also give me
the feedback needed to improve this program.
Included files are (** = changed in present version):
LABCOAT.COM - The compiled main program,
menu driven, with subroutines for
Capital Depreciation, Moving Averages,
Statistics/Charting, Test Cost Analysis
and printout of the variables needed in
the Test Cost Analysis. Code since
v3.5 corrects a procedure in the
Standard Deviation calculation to conform
to the "N-1" rule, and warns of subroutines
that expect a printer. Also, a variable
is initialized in Stats to improve it.
LABCOAT.000 - Overlay code for compiled program.
LIPID.COM - Compiled Cardiovascular Risk and
lipoprotein profiler, called from main menu
of LABCOAT. This portion is available in
S.I. Units for Canadians & Others. Requests
for that version can be sent to the author,
along with $3.00 to cover shipping and
preparation. Lipid is set up to call Labcoat
upon exit.
LIPID.000 - Overlay code for compiled program.
EVALUATE.COM- Employee computerized evaluation
program which is called from main menu of
LABCOAT.COM and will call Labcoat upon exit.
BIRDFACE.COM- Color Graphics routine, called from
LABCOAT.COM menu. Calls Labcoat upon exit.
The routine requires CGA.
files (contd)
** SOURCE.EXE - The Archived form of the source code
for programs LABCOAT, LIPID, EVALUATE, EXEC,
AND BIRDFACE.PAS. Archiving was necessary to
(if you have bbs version) supply everything on one disk. The user can
(then you won't have this) can de-archive the files by transferring the
(-see REG.DOC) file SOURCE.EXE to another empty floppy disk.
The user then types SOURCE, hits Enter, and
the source code self-extracts.
** README-1.DOC - ASCI discussion of programs at length.
** README-2.DOC - Update notes & further instructions.
** RELEASE.DOC - Program/File descriptions for SIGs.
** REG.DOC - Registration Form - User Input
** QCHART.EXE - A new addition to print out control
charts (Levy-Jennings) & do statistical jobs.
Vastly remodeled for decreased paper waste,
Qchart must be run from the Labcoat Statistics
sub-menu. It returns to Labcoat on exit.
A PRINTER IS ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED.
EXEC.COM - Modified from Public Domain via the
Turbo Users Group & Bela Lubkin. When called
by Labcoat, it instructs DOS to execute Qchart.
NOTE: The responsibility for verification and validation of the accuracy,
the appropriateness and the logic of this program IS NOW YOURS.
The source code is available for all .com routines, either on disk
or on request (see REG.DOC). I support LABCOAT; if you can point
out misbehavior with clear examples, I will do everything I can to
fix it for you and the other users. That update will credit you.

* Sorry to say, Birdface kicked the bucket 2/89. His position was
filled by Hermann Scooter, D.Y.H., former software consultant
to DON'T BYTE! Magazine, and an acknowledged genius at the task
of cracking DOS Shells. When it was determined that Scooter was
a female, she was promoted.
