Getting Started With Your NQF Diskette

         The NQF query file is  in standard ASCII text and can be read
         by using TextView, QueryScan or virtually any commercial word
         processor.

         To  read  an  NQF  file  with  TextView,  simply  select  the
         appropriate listing from  the  Contents window.  You can also
         include  a  filename at the DOS prompt [VIEW filename].   You
         can  search  the  file  by selecting the  search / next match
         options from the menu.

         To  read  the  NQF  query  file  found  on  this  disk  using
         QueryScan, type the  letter  Q  at  the  DOS prompt and press
         ENTER.  QueryScan treats the file as a database  and  employs
         many  database-like  features.   When using QueryScan for the
         first time, read the  documentation,  accessed  from the menu
         bar at the top of the screen.

         Although  NQF query files are in ASCII format,  QueryScan  is
         not  designed  to  read other files and may not work properly
         with them.
