MONTANA RIVERS INFORMATION SYSTEM 

 Rivers Report 



APPENDIX A (cont.) 



Copy the MRIS Rivers Report diskettes to the directory and run INSTALL. 

 INSTALL will extract the programs and files from their compressed format and 

 erase the unneeded files. It will then run a program to create most of the indices 

 required by the Rivers Report program (the others are created as needed by the 

 Rivers Report program). 



HI starting the Rivers Report 



Included on the System Utilities diskette is AUTOMENU, a shareware menu 

 program (try it before you buy it). Included on the MRIS Rivers Report diskettes 

 is a batch file which will start the menu. To run the MRIS Rivers Report change 

 directories to the containing the Rivers Report (e.g. D:\MRISRIV), tj^ie RIVERS 

 from the DOS prompt and AUTOMENU will be loaded. Select the Montana Rivers 

 Report by tj^jing the number in front of the menu item. If you do not want to use 

 AUTOMENU you may run the Rivers Report by changing directories to the directory 

 which contains RPRIVERS.EXE and entering RPRIVERS from the DOS prompt. 



IV Customizing the Rivers Report 



The MRIS Rivers Report can be customized to use different keys for the Help 

 key and Exit key or to use different screen colors. To change the current 

 configuration select the System Configuration menu item. See Appendix G for more 

 information on the System Configuration program. 



If you have DOS 3.3 or greater, we recommend you alter your AUTOEXEC.BAT 

 file to include the SET CLIPPER=F35 line, alter your CONFIG.SYS file to have the 

 FILES = 35 line, and copy RPRIVERS.AO to RPRIVERS.RPT for faster operation 

 of the Rivers Report. See Appendix F for more information on the Report Definition 

 File.
