A BRIEF DESCRIPTION
-------------------
MFA is a program designed to help people organize thoughts and ideas in the
form of a flowchart. MFA is a text based program, so it is much faster and
easier to work with than some graphics based flowchart programs. MFA, being
text based, has virtually no hardware limitations. Even if you have a daisy
wheel printer and a monochrome monitor, MFA will work.
HOW MICRO FLOWCHART AID WORKS
-----------------------------
MFA is very close in design to a spread sheet in that it is cell oriented.
There are 594 cells in MFA, six columns by 99 rows. The cells can contain
text, symbols, or lines connecting symbols. MFA comes with a default set of
30 symbols and lines. Text can be put in any symbol or on any line. The
default symbol set contains basic programming symbols. You can design your
own sets of symbols with a symbol generator that comes with your
registration kit.
MAKE SURE IT'S ALL THERE
------------------------
MFA comes with several files. Check the list below against a directory
listing of the disk.
MFA.EXE The main program
MFA.HLP The help screens

MFA.CNF Holds the configuration
