GRAFER(TM) Line Graphs, Shareware Version 3.0, <ASP> 


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

GRAFER(TM) Line Graphs for Windows, v3.0 <ASP>, makes ANSI look-alike 
graphs suitable for scientific and engineering reports. The Line Graphs 
and Scatter Plots are built from X-Y data entered from the keyboard, a 
text file, or the Clipboard. The "Picture" Graphs can be Copied to the 
Clipboard and Pasted into other applications as an adjustable graph. 
Saved graphs are in text file format and easily edited. Printed graphs 
are adjustable in size. Learn to graph with the samples included.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Grafer requires, as a minimum, an IBM AT or compatible computer with 
Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, or Windows '95 installed and running. The 
current memory in your computer should be adequate if you are able to 
use other Windows applications satisfactorily. The hard disk space 
needed is less than 300 kilobytes. Grafer will not run with Windows
3.0. 


GRAFER(TM) INSTALLATION

You will probably receive Grafer in one of two ways. In the first way, 
you will have a floppy disk with the ten individual files listed below:

      GRAFER.EXE    - Grafer executable for Windows 3.1 or greater
      GRAFER.HLP    - Grafer help for Windows 3.1 or greater
      REGISTER.TXT  - Registration form for Users
      README.TXT    - Getting Started Documentation
      GRAFTEST.GRF  - A test graph as described in a Help item
      ELECT.GRF     - A graph of residential power consumption

      INSTALL.EXE   - Installation Program for Grafer
      VENDINFO.DIZ  - Grafer Product Information
      VENDOR.TXT    - (use VENDINFO.DIZ for all information)
      FILE_ID.DIZ   - BBS description of Grafer

If you have a disk with the ten files, use the instructions given in the 
section below titled, "USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM".

The second way to receive Grafer is in a compressed file or archive. The 
compressed file name should be GRAFER3.xxx where "xxx" indicates which 
file compression utility was used. In this case, use the suggestions 
given in the section titled, "INSTALL FROM A COMPRESSED FILE".

If you prefer to install Grafer manually, copy the first six files 
listed above to the directory of your choice. Using Windows 3.1 or 3.11,  
create icons for the first four files and install them in the Windows 
Group of your choice by using the Program Manager "File" menu and 
selecting "New...".

Using Windows95 or later, create a "Start" menu item by adding a folder 
called "Grafer" in Windows\Start Menu\Progams\ folder. Now, add four 
"shortcuts" to the "Grafer" folder for the first four files you copied to
the directory of your choice above.


USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM

To install Grafer, start up Windows and put the Grafer floppy disk in 
Drive A. Follow the directions in the sections below depending on which 
version of Windows you are using:

Windows 3.1 or 3.11

From the Program Manager "File" menu, select "Run". Type "A:INSTALL" in 
the dialog box that appears. After you press "ENTER" or click on the 
"OK" button, the Install program will start on the floppy drive. If you 
are installing from B drive, substitute the letter B for the letter A 
above.

Windows95 or later

From the "Start" menu select "Run". Type "A:INSTALL" in the dialog box 
that appears. After you press "ENTER" or click on the "OK" button, the 
Install program will start on the floppy drive. If you are installing 
from B drive, substitute the letter B for the letter A above.

The Install program will copy the Grafer files to a new directory titled 
"GRAFER" on your hard drive (C:). You will have an opportunity to revise 
the directory name and installation location. Click on the "OK" button 
or press the "ENTER" key to start the file transfer to the directory you 
selected.

Using Windows 3.1 or 3.11, the Install program will also create a 
Windows Group named "Grafer" and put the Grafer icons in that group. You 
may move the Grafer icons to another group later if desired.

Using Windows95 or later, a menu item titled, "Grafer" will be added to 
the "Start Menu" with "shortcuts" for four of the files listed above.


INSTALL FROM A COMPRESSED FILE

If you received Grafer as a single file such as GRAFER3.ZIP, copy this 
file to a temporary directory on your hard disk. Next, decompress the 
file using a decompression utility program. The DOS command might be 
PKUNZIP GRAFER3.ZIP if that compression utility was used to compress the 
file. Several other compression/decompression utilities are in common 
use. You can probably obtain the correct utility from the same place you 
obtained the Grafer archive.

If the Grafer archive file name is GRAFER3.EXE, you decompress it by 
running it from your temporary directory as you would any DOS program. 
No other utilities are needed.

Once the archive file is decompressed, you should have the ten files 
listed above in your temporary directory. Now you can install Grafer as 
described above in the section titled, "USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM". 
Instead of typing "A:INSTALL" in the "Run" dialog box, you would type, 
"C:\TMP\INSTALL", where C:\TMP is the current hard drive and directory 
where the ten files are located.


UNINSTALL GRAFER

Windows 3.1 or 3.11

First delete each icon in the Grafer Group by selecting it and then 
pressing the 'Delete' key. When all the icons are gone, delete the Group 
by pressing the 'Delete' key.

Next, from the File Manager, delete the directory containing the Money 
Math files. First, select the directory and then delete it by pressing 
the 'Delete' key. Grafer places a file named, "grafer.ini" in the 
Windows directory of your computer. You may also delete this file.

Windows95

Using Explorer, delete the directory containing the Grafer files. First, 
select the directory and then delete it by pressing the 'Delete' key. 
Grafer places a file named, "grafer.ini" in the Windows directory of 
your computer. You may also delete this file.

To remove the, "Grafer" item from the, "Start" menu, move to the, 
Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder using Explorer. Expand the folder by 
clicking on the "+". Now, click on the, "Grafer" folder and press the 
delete key.


RUNNING GRAFER

To start Grafer, double-click the mouse on the Grafer icon for Windows 
3.1 or 3.11. For Windows95, from the "Start" menu, select "Programs". 
Now select "Grafer" from the menu and again select "Grafer" from the 
menu.

Selecting "Exit" from the "File" menu item closes Grafer. You can also 
use the Alt+F4 key combination to do the same thing.


GRAFER DOCUMENTATION

All of the Grafer features are documented in Grafer Help. You can select 
the "Help" menu item from within Grafer or you can double click on the 
"Grafer Help" icon. Either way, the Windows Help program will run Grafer 
Help.

Be sure and review the, "Getting Started" section for an overview of 
Grafer, how to make a graphs, and other helpful Grafer tips.
