Mr. Machinist  README.TXT file.  ( 06-18-94 )
=============================================

              *** MRM110 ***

Always read this README.TXT file when you receive
an up-graded version of the Mr. Machinist program.
Changes in the program may not be documented in the
manual!

This latest version includes math on the input lines
and readings called, 'The Cutting Edge' in the help
file.  A bug in some releases of MRM109 was found
within the editor while using the key-strokes of
'Ctrl-Y'.  'Ctrl-Y' is supposed to delete a whole
line of text while in the editor.  When a 'Ctrl-Y'
was initalized the program would exit to DOS.  This
bug has been fixed in MRM110.

To see a list of previous 'bugs' then please see the
HISTORY.TXT file.

If you downloaded this program from a BBS then your
compressed file will have all of the files listed
below except the installation programs.  Installation
programs are only used when Mr. Machinist is sent
through the mail by the author.

Files included in this package: (Disk 1 and Disk 2)

Low Density Disk Users:

DISK 1

MRM.EXE      =  The main executable file.
MRM.OVR      =  The overlay file.
README.TXT   =  Your reading me now!
INSTALL.EXE  =  Install program for Disk 1.

DISK 2

FILE_ID.DIZ  =  A description file used in BBS programs.
HISTORY.TXT  =  The history of the Mr. Machinist program.
INSTALL.EXE  =  The install program for Disk 2.
MRMORDER.DOC =  The order form to register the program.
K0203.TXT    =  A sample CNC milling G and M code file.
MRMANUAL.DOC =  The Mr. Machinist manual.
MRMHELP.HLP  =  The help file, used with main program.
README.TXT   =  Your reading me!
WHATSNEW.TXT =  New things happening in Mr. Machinist!


High Density Disk Users: All of the above files will be
on one disk.

Use the install program to copy files from each disk to
your hard drive.  Any other method of copying should be
done using DOS commands.  The two files that are
absolutely needed to run MRM is MRM.EXE and MRM.OVR.
These two files must be in the same directory.  You
could run the MRM.EXE without the help file but you
would get an error message when ever you tried to
receive help.

To get the full potential of MRM you should read the
manual.  You will not be able to see all that the 
program can do in only one session.  The best way to 
get familiar with MRM is to read the manual.

If you upload Mr. Machinist to a BBS, please include 
all files listed above except the install programs.  
The install programs are only used by registered users 
who copy files from low density disks.

Please be sure that the compressed file includes all of 
the files listed above, no more, no less.

The file called K0203.TXT is a sample CNC milling file 
that consist of 6 different CNC programs that were 
downloaded from a CNC to a PC.  The CNC's memory was 
cleared and it sent all of it's programs to the PC 
under one file name. This sample file is used to test 
the sequence and split functions.  See the manual about 
using file sequencing.

If you would like to view the Mr. Machinist manual using 
DOS then you would type, 'TYPE MRMANUAL.DOC | MORE'.  
The '| MORE' command is used to let you pause after each 
screen full of information.  The '|' symbol on the enhanced 
keyboard is usually used with the shift key and positioned 
on the lower right of your keyboard just above the back 
slash. The best way to view the manual is to use a 
shareware program like LIST (c) by Vernon D. Burge.  
Look for it on a local bulletin board system!

Thank you, God bless you and your family, and please 
support the shareware method.
