*** Mr. Machinist ***

                   Version 0.5 Beta


                       02/16/93

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.
Use this help file for now until version 1 is released with 
the manual.

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.
