NO SPECIAL FORMS ARE REQUIRED. ALL REPORTS WILL BE
PRINTED ON 8 1/2" X 11" STANDARD STOCK PAPER.

(Note - DENTAL#1 is a single user system and is not qualified for
multi-user, or network, usage.)

Files contained on your distribution disks:
README.1ST = Basic instructions.
DENTAL1.EXE = Program (part 1 of 4).
DEN1001.OVL = Program (part 2 of 4).
DEN1002.OVL = Program (part 3 of 4).
DEN1003.OVL = Program (part 4 of 4).
MANUAL.PT1 = Part 1 of 4 part user manual.
MANUAL.PT2 = Part 2 of 4 part user manual.
MANUAL.PT3 = Part 3 of 4 part user manual.
MANUAL.PT4 = Part 4 of 4 part user manual.
MANUAL.BAT = Routine to print your user manual.
DENTABLE.DBF = Predefined charge code table.

Steps to follow for system installation:
1. Make a backup of the DENTAL#1 distribution disks and store
the originals in a save place. Use the newly created
backup disks for all following installation instructions.

2. Check to insure that you have a 'CONFIG.SYS' file in your
root directory with the following MINIMUM values:
FILES = 20 BUFFERS = 8
If you do not have a 'CONFIG.SYS' file, or it does not
contain these minimum values, consult your DOS manual on
how to create/modify your 'CONFIG.SYS' file.
(Note - DENTAL#1 will not operate properly, and may crash,
if your 'CONFIG.SYS' file does not exist with these values.
If you needed to create, or modify, your 'CONFIG.SYS' file
be sure that you reboot your system before you continue.
Your system only reads the values contained in your
'CONFIG.SYS' file at initial system boot.)

3. From your root directory create a sub-directory that will
contain your DENTAL#1 program and data files. The following
DOS command will create a sub-directory called "DENTAL1".
C>MD\DENTAL1
4. Once you have created the sub-directory, select the new
sub-directory by entering:
C>CD\DENTAL1
5. Insert DENTAL#1 distribution disk #1 into drive A. Copy the
contents of drive A into the newly created DENTAL1 sub-
directory by entering the following DOS command:
C>COPY A:*.*
Remove disk from drive A upon completion.
6. Insert DENTAL#1 distribution disk #2 into drive A. Copy the
contents of drive A into the newly created DENTAL1 sub-
directory by entering the following DOS command:
C>COPY A:*.*
Remove disk from drive A upon completion.
Repeat process with dist #3.
7. Print your user manual and read before going any further:
a: turn on your printer
b: enter C>MANUAL


ALL COPIES OF DENTAL#1 WILL INITIALLY LOAD AS 'UNREGISTERED' HAVING A
100 PATIENT LIMIT. THIS PATIENT LIMIT WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE ENTRY
OF A VALID 'USER REGISTRATION NUMBER' INTO YOUR PRACTICE DATA. THIS
'USER REGISTRATION NUMBER' IS UNIQUE TO EACH USER AND IS PROVIDED TO

YOUR PRACTICE NAME IS ENTERED EXACTLY AS YOU WISH IT TO BE - ANY
CHANGES IN ENTERING YOUR PRACTICE NAME WILL INVALIDATE YOUR UNIQUE
REGISTRATION NUMBER.

>PRINTED USER MANUAL;

>LOW COST PRODUCT UPGRADES;
>SPECIAL PRICES ON NEW PRODUCTS FROM MEDshare.
