     Welcome to the DEMO version of Pro-Board V3.0!  This is a
     fully functional program with the exception that it cannot
     SAVE a data file.  However, you can read existing data files
     and create your own PCBs to familiarize yourself with the ease
     and power we have included in Pro-Board.

     At most screens, the <Alt><Help> Hot Key combo will display
     a text file describing the functions and options for this menu.
     The IFKs are disabled while Help is active.  Remember to enter
     `Q'<CR> to return to normal operation.

     The TUTORIAL PCBs are from the manual.  Use them to play with
     automatic placement, automatic routing, and the various other
     features.  The Tutorial section in the manual covers the most
     used features of Pro-Board V3.

     A fully functional version of Pro-Lib has been included on the
     second disk, along with some sample PCBs for experimentation
     and examples of several Library Parts.

     Pro-Lib creates Library Parts for those Devices which cannot be
     described as a DIP, SIP, or 2-Pin device (such as standard
     through-hole ICs, resistor packs, and capacitors and resistors).
     The power and ease of use of Pro-Lib allows easy creation of PGA
     and PLCC devices, as well as simpler SMT parts and non-standard
     through-hole devices such as TO-3 or TO-220 transistors, ZIP memory
     packages, custom headers and connectors, etc.

     Included with Pro-Board, Pro-Plot is a utility to generate hard
     copy.  It can print a PCB data file to a dot matrix printer
     for a rough draft; to an HPGL or non-HPGL plotter for more
     finished work; and to Gerber Photo Plotters for the highest
     quality.

     In addition, Prolific provides Pro-Net to perform Schematic Capture,
     and Pro-Drill to generate True-Drill or Excellon format Drill Files
     to save you even more money when you are readying your PCBs for
     production.


  NOTE ON INSTALLATION

     The script "Install_DEMO_HD" will install these two disks to a hard
     disk.  The script file will instruct you on its use.
 
     Pro-Board requires the Diamond 12 and 20 point fonts to be in
     Fonts:.  These are standard fonts, so if you have never
     modified the contents of Fonts:, you will not have a problem.
     
     The req.library must be in LIBS:.  The installation procedure will
     attempt to copy it from the demo disk, but if the volume to which
     LIBS: is assigned is Write Protected, it will fail.
