INFORMATION ABOUT MARCOSHELL V 3.2


INSTALLATION:

After unzipping the files use the MarcoShell install program to install the 
program on your harddisk.

USE:

MarcoShell v3.2 is kind of a desk on the computer. You can put 
your personal stuff(all kinds of frequently used applications) 
on the desk so that you can find them easily. It works the same 
as the PATH command for DOS but it is much easier to understand.
So this program makes it easier to start your applications.
Starting the program by typing MSHELL. 
MARCOSHELL is meant to ease the way to start programs for dos. You can 
start Microsoft Windows too with the shell but Windows can work 
as a shell itself. Also with respect to memory-use i wouldn't recommend it.

    NB: there is no need to throw the 2.x datafiles away. The program
    CONVERT.EXE converts the old 2.x file into a 3.x file. Remember to
    always start CONVERT.EXE in another directory then the 2.x file. O
    therwise it doesn't work as it is supposed to.


LEGAL RIGHTS

Use by individuals is free of charge. Use by companies without contacting 
the author is illegal. There will be negotiated for a fee then.

Everyone using MARCOSHELL is supposed to be familiar with the above.  

NEW

major change compared to 3.1
* backup routine; everytime you modify the database the old one is backed up 
  and restored when the modification fails at the next startup
* stable working on other systems (it was tested on my new pentium)

I love to hear from users about their experiences do not hessitate and mail!

WIN95

When installing Marco Shell under WIN95 you should follow the windows installation routine. 
After installing and after restarting you must got to the windows directory on your harddisk 
and doubleclick on the file MARCOSHL.GRP (in the explorer MARCOSHL).
The compatibility with WIN95 is not 100%. Sometimes you could get error messages from windows 
or a program freeze. You must restart MarcoShell and it will probably work fine the next time.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

About 500k conventional memory free (the more the better of course).
