MAKING WORKING COPIES AND COPYING TO A FIXED DISK
College Probe requires a fixed/hard disk to operate, and you should also make a
backup copy of the master diskette(s).  To make a backup copy you will need one
blank formatted disk for each College Probe disk.
If you have two floppy disk drives, insert a College Probe disk into drive 'A'.
Insert the blank formatted disk into drive 'B'.  Now type the following
command:   COPY A:*.*  B:   and press the enter key.  Repeat this process for
each disk if you have multiple diskettes.
If you do not have a drive 'B', insert a College Probe disk into drive 'A'.
Now type the following command:   COPY A:*.*  B:   and press the enter key.
You will be asked to switch the original disk and the working copy back and
forth as copying proceeds.  Repeat this process for each disk if you have
multiple diskettes.
When you copy this system to a fixed disk, place it in its own subdirectory.
For instructions on making subdirectories, refer to your DOS manual.

HELPFUL HINTS/NOTES
o  When you answer questions on the screen you do not have to press the enter
(return) key if you have completely filled the answer box.  If your answer does
not fill the answer box, or you are skipping the question, the system will wait
for you to press the enter key before continuing.
o  Once you have indicated the type of search you wish to conduct, the system
will list the colleges that match your request.  You can move forward (down)
through the list by using the PgDn key, and backwards (up) by using the PgUp
key.
o You can review any school's fact sheet by entering the school's
identification number, shown in the left-most column.
o All SAT scores, student population counts, and tuition costs have been
rounded to the nearest 10.
o When searching for colleges by SAT or ACT scores, make sure you know which
standardized tests are required by the schools that interest you.
o If you make a mistake, simply press the ESC key on your keyboard and the
system will reset itself and allow you to begin again.
o While every effort is made to avoid mistakes, it is possible that a fact or
figure may be incorrect.  Use this system along with other sources of
information.  If you have a question about a particular fact or figure, contact
the college or university in question directly.
o Total population size equals undergraduate plus graduate students.
