HELP FOR DIRECTORY SCREEN To edit an existing form simply press enter/return and type in one of the names in the directory listing. If you want to generate a new form then select option 1 from the main menu and enter a new name when prompted for the file name during a directory listing. All files in the directory listing are sorted if this option has not been disabled with the EZ-FORMS install program. A very fast sort routine is used, but with a large directory it may take a few seconds. EZ-FORMS can handle a directory containing up to 2000 files. If you have more files than that in a SINGLE directory then please break the directory into smaller ones prior to running EZ-FORMS in that directory. MORE HELP FOR DIRECTORY SCREEN When a directory is displayed, the files will be sorted and displayed left to right -- top of screen to bottom in order. Please take note of the highlighted commands listed at the bottom of the screen. If "Enter --> Input Filename" is displayed then you are expected to look over the directory entries using the commands listed in the window at the bottom of the screen. After you do this, use enter/return to signal that you are ready to select a form to work with. Simply type in the form name at the prompt and press enter/return again. If you got here by accident the press enter/return without a filename entered and EZ-FORMS will return you to the main menu. If "Enter --> Input Filename" is not displayed then the directory is there as a status and you are expected to press F10 to exit after you finish looking it over. You can always use F10 to exit without further action.

EZ-FORMS by Enerco Associates and MaeDae Enterprises EZ-FORMS gives you the capability to use your computer to create master forms tailor-made to suit your unique needs. Once created, these forms can be filled out and stored under code names pertaining to their use (ie billing, invoice, comments, etc). EZ-FORMS also gives you the capability to print and/or store completed or master forms. Comments or suggestions for improving EZ-FORMS will be appreciated. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS EZ-FORMS requires an IBM PC or compatible with at least 256K of RAM. Printers supported include the Epson graphics printer and daisywheel printers like the Bytewriter. Display adapters known to work with EZ-FORMS are IBM mono- chrome, color, and enhanced graphics adapters. Because direct screen access is used to enable high speed updating of screen information, EZ-FORMS may be unuseable on the not too close IBM PC compatibles. If this occurs please provide information on your screen memory starting address and I will try to include your display adapter particulars in the EZ-FORMS defaults. If you have a "green screen" monitor attached to your color graphics card, don't forget to use the DOS mode command -- MODE BW80. This will ensure correct conversion of colors for your monitor.
