*** Mr. Machinist ***

                    Beta Version
                    ============

                      03/31/93


Mr. Machinist is a math program for CNC programmers, engineers,
and machinist. It can calculate the chord of a circle, do trig.,
conversions to/from English and metric, edit machine files, get
three points on a circle, middle of two points, etc., etc.

A users manual has not been completed for Mr. Machinist yet
but is in the process. The help file is context sensative so
help is always at your finger tips. Some users have not seen
this type of interface and have trouble inputing data. Use
the 'Tab' key to enter in to the input lines for data input.
The 'Tab' key will also cycle you through the dialog box and
if you hold down 'Shift' while you strike 'Tab' you will cycle
through the dialog box in the other direction.

When ever your troubled about a mathematical term or
questioning data entry, just strike F1 and there's your
answer. Every thing is in plain laymans terms! When you
receive an error message you don't see something like,
"BIOS RAM ROM Overflow at HEX F84", all math function
error messages tell you the problem in plain English!

The help file is ever growing and the editor is a universal
one. If you have trouble with the editor or are just finding
it hard to get around,  getting familiar with DOS version 5
editor or the DOS shell will help to become familiar with
Mr. Machinist.

=============================================================

To install the program:
=======================

Copy MRM.EXE and MRMHELP.HLP to a directory on your hard drive.
You may create a new directory or copy these two files to an
existing directory. If you prefer to run Mr. Machinist from the
disk then you can type MRM to activate the program from the
disk.

Make sure that both of these files are in the same directory.
If these files are not in the same directory, MRM.EXE will
look for MRMHELP.HLP and when it does not find it in the same
directory it will display an error saying that it can not
find the help file. The program will still run but will not
have a help file.

To execute the program, type MRM.

Here is an example of the DOS commands used to install
Mr. Machinist. This example assumes you have the program
disk in your A drive!


Command               Results
=======               =======
C:                    Puts you on the C drive. (Hard drive)
CD\                   Change directory to your root directory.
MD MRM                Makes a directory called MRM.
CD MRM                Change directory to MRM.
COPY A:*.*            Copies all files from disk in A drive to C.
MRM                   Starts the Mr. Machinist program!!!

You will have to get into the MRM directory every time you want
to run Mr. Machinist unless you put the MRM directory in your
path statement. Look up the PATH statement in your DOS manual
for more information.
