Dear PC Globe User,

Thank for purchasing PC Globe 4.0.

We are delighted to inform you of an additional enhancement that
is not mentioned in your manual.  In the CURRENCY CONVERSION utility,
it is now possible to edit and save new currency exchange rates
as often as you wish.  To do so, follow these instructions:

- Before starting PC Globe, be sure that your DOS computer clock is
  set at the correct date.  This is important because the CURRENCY
  CONVERSION utility automatically inputs the new date based on your
  computer clock.  To check your computer clock, type DATE next to
  your DOS prompt.

- To edit the entire list of currency exchange rates, place the cursor
  over CURRENCY CONVERSION on the UTILITIES menu and press <enter>
  or mouse <left>.  Then place the cursor over EDIT EXCHANGE RATES and
  press <enter> or mouse <left>.  A list of currencies with their
  respective exchange rates will be displayed.  You may edit the numbers
  on this list based on the new information available to you.  To save
  your changes, press <ins>.
{
- For editing the currency exchange list, we recommend that you use
  the interbank rates of exchange listed in your daily newspaper.  One
  of the best lists available appears every Monday in the Wall Street
  Journal.  This list is prepared by BankAmerica and includes all of
  the currencies contained in PC Globe.  The list usually appears as
  a special advertisement in the third section of the paper (Money &
  Investing).

If your version of PC GLOBE 4.0 program is operating smoothly, there is
no need to continue reading.  The instructions below pertain to optional
installation parameters, disk configurations and printers.

OPTIONAL INSTALL PARAMETERS

It is possible to modify the installation routine by typing a hyphen and
specific letters after the word "install" as described below:

install -o

   Overrides autodetection of graphics card type.

   The INSTALL program automatically determines the type of graphics
   card that your computer has.  Unfortunately, sometimes graphics cards
   are not always 100% compatible and can be misidentified as invalid.
   Adding -o to the command line will bypass automatic detection and
   allow any graphics mode to be selected.
{
install -s

   No status check for printer.

   If you are using a print spooler, you may need to add this parameter
   in order for your printer to function properly.

install -tn

   Text screen delay (replace n with a number from 0 to 9).

install -gn

   Graphics screen delay (replace n with a number from 0 to 9).

   PC GLOBE uses graphics and text screens in order to increase performance
   and optimize memory usage.  Some monitors, especially multi-frequency
   monitors, will appear unstabilized and flicker when changing modes.
   This option allows the user to add a delay after changing modes to
   reduce or eliminate the flicker.
{

More than one optional parameter can be included on the INSTALL command
line.  The following example would install for no status check for the
printer and set the text screen delay to 5, and the graphic screen
delay to 4:

install -s -t5 -g4

PRINTERS

If you have a printer that is not listed, try the printer that is the most
like yours.  If you have an older dot-matrix printer, try typing graphics
from the dos prompt and using the shift-printscreen key to print.

For some printers there will not be a difference between "Draft" and "Normal"
modes.


Thanks again.
