Mr. Machinist  README.TXT file.  ( 03-03-95 )
=============================================

              *** MRM111 ***

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 g-code creation of the
bolt circle function, tapping information, fixed a
bug in the 3 points on a circle function where the
radius was being rounded off to the nearest whole
number in some 1.10 versions, the F12 key was added
that creates a formula file, more information has
been added to the help file, the F3 Open function
now only displays .TXT files as a default, a file
called SFM.TXT has been added where the user can
edit surface feeds of different types of materials.
The SFM file is put to use by any g-code creation
function.  There has also been a price increase
in the program.

Version 2.0 is on it's way with further creation of
g-code files and many other great functions so keep
a watchful eye out!

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!
SFM.TXT      =  Surface Feet per Minute file for g-code.


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 be sure
that your uploading the shareware version!!!  Include
all files listed above except the install programs.
The install programs are only used by registered users
who copy files from 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.

The Windows(r) Version of Mr. Machinist 1.00 has begun
and is now in a holding pattern while the DOS version gets
up-graded.

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