These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

• STATS.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 10.6 KB

No need to put LICENSE.DOC, MANUAL.ARD, MANUAL.ARI, MANUAL.DOC: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 87.4 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy AUTOREAD.EXE, README.BAT, STATS.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

3:  Installing AUTOREAD

      AUTOREAD is extremely easy to install.

      The only file absolutely necessary to operating AUTOREAD is
      AUTOREAD.EXE, which you should copy either into the same
      directory as the documents you wish to use it on, or
      (especially if you have a hard disk) into a directory which is
      listed in your DOS PATH command (this is usually specified in
      your AUTOEXEC.BAT file).

      Many hard disk users have a directory called \TOOLS on their
      hard disk.  This is a good place for AUTOREAD.

      To use AUTOREAD on a particular text file (as an example, say a
      file called MANUAL.DOC), you would enter the following at the
      DOS prompt:

              AUTOREAD MANUAL.DOC

      If you don't enter the file name, you will be prompted for it.

           NOTE:

           If you don't enter a file extension (eg the .DOC above), then
           AUTOREAD will attempt to find a file with the name you have
           given it, with either of the following extensions:

                 .DOC
                 .TXT

           If it still can't find the file, it will give up with an
           error message.

 4:  Files Created by AUTOREAD

      AUTOREAD maintains two different files of its own for every
      text file that you use it on.

      If you used it on a document called MANUAL.DOC, for example,
      AUTOREAD would create the following files:

           MANUAL.ARI
           MANUAL.ARD

      Unless you have changed the textfile since you last read it,
      the .ARI file will be created only the first time you use
      AUTOREAD on the text file.  The .ARD file, however, is
      constantly read and rewritten.
