INSTALLING FAMILY TREE JOURNAL

                                     BACKUP


        The first order of business before you use this (or any program)
        is to create a backup copy of the disk(s).

        (If you are using a floppy disk system insert your MS-DOS system
        disk in drive A.) Use the normal procedure to  bring  your  com-
        puter up to the prompt.

                If you have 2 floppy disks type:

                        DISKCOPY A: B: <ENTER>

                If you have 1 floppy disk type:

                        DISKCOPY A: A: <ENTER>

        The  DISKCOPY  program  will  instruct  you to insert the source
        (original FAMILY TREE JOURNAL ) disk and the destination (blank)
        disk into the appropriate disk drive. It is a good idea to put a
        write protect tab on the original but not on  the  copies  since
        the  program  will  write  data  files  to them. If you have the
        second (optional) UTILITIES disk, make a  backup  of  that  disk
        also. Put the original disks in a safe place and use the backups
        as working disks for all operations from now on.


        If you have a hard drive, you should copy the disk(s) to a  sub-
        directory. The sub-directory may be any name you like, there are
        no 'canned' directory names in the program.


        If you have a system with two 360K floppy drives  (and  no  hard
        drive),  you should use drive A for the FAMILY TREE JOURNAL disk
        and drive B to store your data files.


        NOTE Even if you use a separate drive for your data, the program
        must  be  able to write to both disks so don't put write protect
        tabs on either one. Also, the data disks must be formatted using
        the MS-DOS FORMAT command before they may be used.


        It  is  possible  to  run FAMILY TREE JOURNAL from only one 360K
        floppy drive, but the amount of data that you will  be  able  to
        enter  will  be very limited. I do not recommend that you try to
        run this program on a single 360K floppy drive system.
