Version 4.00 is a Fairware enhancement
of the TI MULTIPLAN Package.  The
enhancements are almost entirely related
to a speed up of the package.  The
updates have been made to the MultiPlan
version released by TI to all user
groups.  This disk contains replacement
modules for that release.

There are two versions of Release 4.00.
The "Standard Version" for those who
use the MultiPlan Cartridge, and the
"GRAM Version" for those who have a
GRAM device.

This SSSD Disk contains the GRAM
Version.  The flip side is another SSSD
Disk with the Standard Version and the
RAGPATCH program.

Features of MP GRAM Version 4.00:
.SP;IN+5
1.^Almost a 50% reduction in run time.
2.^Fast startup with some or all MP
modules in GRAM.
3.^Patches documented for default
filenames.
4.^Slight change in entering default
disk,
^^^so as to accommadate Hard Disk
users.
5.^Patch documented for setting screen
colours.

@GETTING^STARTED

This package was developed using the
Millers Graphics GRAM KRACKER, it
should be usable with other GRAM
devices provided that they support 8K
GRAMs.

It is easy to get going.  First, load
your MultiPlan cartridge into your GRAM
device then load MPGK400 into the
device.  Then, you can copy the files:
MPBASE and MPDATA to your MP work disk.
Put your work disk in drive 1 and
proceed as usual.  NOTE: you can remove
files MPINTR, MPCHAR and OVERLAY from
your work disk as they are now
contained in the GRAM device.

There is one additional step for those
who have a GRAM device with Console
GRAMS.  Load MPGKCON1 and MPGKCON2 into
console GRAMS 1 and 2.  This removes
the need for the files MPBASE and
MPDATA on your work disk.  NOTE: the
work disk will have only the MPHLP file
which you don't need unless you issue
the HELP command in MP.

When started up, MP will sense if the
console GRAMS are loaded or not and
will either use them or will load
MPBASE and MPDATA from disk.


@VERSION^4.00^DIFFERENCES

There is one slight difference in the
GRAM Version 4.00 of MP.  When entering
the partial file name for "TRANSFER
OPTIONS Setup" you must enter it with a
period following it.  That is, you must
enter "DSK1." rather than "DSK1" as you
did previously.  This slight
incompatibility was introduced in order
to support RAM/Hard Disks.  You can now
enter more than just "DSKn.".  For
example you could enter "DSK.WORK." to
cause Transfers to the disk with
diskname "WORK".  Hard Disk users could
add directory names to the partial
filename.


@MODIFYING^MPGK400

The file "SETUP/GRAM" is a model for
patches you can make to MPGK400 to set
default filenames and screen colour.
The file can be modified with any text
editor and used as input to RAGPATCH to
make any changes you require.  All
numbers in the patches are in
hexadecimal.  DON'T MAKE MODIFICATIONS
TO YOUR ORIGINAL DISK!


@REPORTING^BUGS

If you have any problems with MP
Version 4.00, it would be nice to have
a copy of the failing spread sheet on
disk.  If you do send me a disk, I
guarantee that it will be used ONLY to
find the bug.  I will return any disks
with the bug fix.

Any patches distributed will be made
using the RAGPATCH program so maybe you
should check out its docs in file
"PATCH/DOC".  Print it with TIW V4
Formatter.
