                         Release Date Nov 11, 1993


                         on 3-1/2" or 5-1/4" disks


                          QUICK START DIRECTIONS

    Hard disk installation -
   
    This GO installation routine will ask you to indicate which drive
    holds this floppy disk, and which drive is the destination. It will
    install SLIMMER to a default SLIM30 subdirectory unless you rename
    it. The compressed files on the floppy disk will be expanded and
    written into the SLIM30 subdirectory. If you have an existing SLIM30
    subdirectory, the existing program files will be overwritten.
 
    If you have a n$.SLM file (n$ = your name) from from a prior Rev 1 or
    Rev 2 version of SLIMMER, copy it into the SLIM30 subdirectory.
    SLIMMER Rev 3.03 will translate it for you. DO NOT INCLUDE ANY OTHER
    FILES FROM THE OLD REVISION.

    NOTE - You will need in excess of 1.4 meg of free space on the hard
    disk to install and run SLIMMER. Additional space will be required for
    your data files as SLIMMER is run.

    Running SLIMMER -

    SLIMMER is started with the command S303. The program will first ask
    for your name, then will ask you to verify the date.  After that the
    main menu will be shown. During your first session, select the first
    item on the menu and fill in your personal data and goals. Next go to
    the Utilities section and select your Graphics mode and Printer. If
    you are a REGISTERED user, select calTab from the main menu. You need
    not enter or change any data in CALTAB at this time. Simply <ESC>
    back to the main menu. 'Visiting' CALTAB in this way lets SLIMMER know
    that you are a registered user and allows you to view the custom menu
    in the Count Calories / view food tables section. Now  you can enter
    the Count Calories section and start entering your daily weight and
    food items. NOTE: Unregistered users have access to CALTAB for 30 days
    from their first 'visit' to CALTAB. After 30 days, they will no longer
    be able to access CALTAB without registering.

    Monochrome Monitor -

    If you have a monochrome monitor, start SLIMMER with the command:

                     S303 BW  or  S303 BW name

    Example files -

    You  may  view  example  data  for "SLIM" by entering DEMO from the 
    DOS prompt. This starts SLIMMER without the opening screens using the  
    command S303 SLIM.  


    RUNNING UNDER WINDOWS 3.1

    For those running MicroSoft Windows,  a DIET.ICO and a SLIMMER.PIF
    file is included. From within Windows' 3.1 Program Manager click on
    FILE, then select NEW. Select PROGRAM ITEM and click OK. Type in
    SLIMMER 303 on the first line. Select BROUSE. Find the SLIM30 sub-
    directory and double-click on it. Find SLIMMER.PIF and  double click
    on it. Select CHANGE ICON, then click on OK. Select BROUSE. Find the
    SLIM30 sub-directory again and double-click on it. Double-click on
    DIET.ICO. Type in the working directory path for your  SLIM30  sub-
    directory  (eg:  C:\SLIM30 ).  Click on OK. This places the SLIMMER
    icon in the current program group. You can drag & drop the icon into
    any program group, or create a new program group for SLIMMER.

    NOTE: If you ever experience a lock-up while running under Windows
    3.1, use <CTRL><ALT><DEL> to regain control, then press ENTER to
    return to Windows.
