     Product Installation
     --------------------
     Financial Wonder ("FW") is designed for the IBM PC, XT, AT, 386,
     and compatibles with a hard drive, PC or MS-DOS 3.1 or higher,
     640K available memory. The use of expanded and/or extended memory
     is highly recommended. FW will operate, and will print, across a
     network. However, there is no network file locking. This means that
     two users should not work on the same file at the same time.

     To install Financial Wonder for Small Business onto your hard drive,
     place the 6 ZIP program files FWSB30z1.zip to FWSB30z6.zip (Financial
     Wonder for Small Business Version 3.0) into the desired sub-directory
     on your hard drive (ex: C:\WONDER). Use PKUNZIP to uncompress FWSB30z1,
     then run INSTALL.BAT to install the program.

     Absolutely no changes will be made to either your autoexec.bat or
     config.sys file.

     FW must be installed on your system's hard drive. The program will
     operate from any lettered hard drive (ex:C,D,E) and from any
     directory, however, wherever the FW program resides must have a
     subdirectory named DATA and all SAVED files, required to be in this
     subdirectory, must reside there.

     Extra HP printer fonts need to be installed in the '\SLATE\FONT'
     sub-directory on the same drive as FW. This directory name cannot
     be changed. INSTALL.BAT will create this directory for you automatically.


     The following programs are included:
     ------------------------------------

     FWDEMO.BAT   This  will run our demo program. This program will help
                  you understand all of the menus, screens, and options
                  available within Financial Wonder.

     MANUAL.EXE   The complete manual may be viewed and printed. 
                  A table of contents is provided for easy access.

     FWSB.EXE     The 'Financial Wonder for Small Business' version.
                  (includes support for Open Systems Accounting Software

        Financial Wonder is a virtual memory spreadsheet. Spreadsheet
     files are stored in a combination of expanded memory, extended
     memory, and hard drive.

        Since the movement of file information to/from your hard drive is
     far slower than when using expanded and/or extended memory, we highly
     recommend that you operate Financial Wonder with at least 1 megabyte
     of expanded and/or extended memory.

     On-Line documentation is available from within the program  (type
     "ALT-M" from within a spreadsheet screen). You may view or print-out
     individual chapters. The file names with the extension ".DOC"
     contain the on-line documentation files. These files may also be
     viewed within any text editor or word processor.

        The entire manual (except for screen pictures) is included. Run
     the MANUAL.EXE program to view the table of contents. You may view
     or print-out individual chapters. The file names with the extension
     ".MAN" contain the on-line manual files. These files may also be
     viewed within any text editor or word processor. In order to view
     the *.DOC and *.MAN files, your MS-DOS PATH command must include the
     directory containing your COMMAND.COM file, which is usually in either
     C:\, or C:\DOS.

        We suggest that you first load one of the two budget example files,
     then pull-down the "screens" menu and select data entry to start. From
     this point you can press ALT-M for detailed documentation.

        The "listing of commands" will help you move about Financial Wonder.
     If you are familiar with Lotus 1-2-3 and with pull-down menus, you will
     find Financial Wonder a joy to work with. The ESC key will generally
     abort a process, and the "/" key calls up the pull-down menu. F1, F9
     and F10 are used often throughout the program. Only a few keys are
     used regularly and there is no formula building such as in an ordinary
     spreadsheet program. Financial Wonder is a relatively easy program to
     operate; however, its tremendous power will progress you to a new
     level of financial understanding.

        Financial Wonder may be operated as an MS-DOS application under MS 
     Windows 3.0 and 3.1 in either the standard or 386 enhanced modes.
     Modify our example Windows PIF file to allocate expanded and/or
     extended memory resources from your Windows environment. Both the
     virtual memory management for swapping code, and the virtual memory
     management used for swapping spreadsheet data are compatible with MS
     Windows 3.0 and 3.1.

        Financial Wonder may be also be operated as an MS-DOS application
     under OS/2 2.x. Modify your DOS settings for expanded memory use.

                                Getting Started
                                ---------------

     To Load Printer Drivers
     -----------------------
     After installation, go to C:\WONDER, type SLATE, and press ENTER.

     Print drivers may be installed one at a time until you choose to end
     the install. The install program may be run at a later date in order
     to install new or additional drivers. The main FW program will allow
     you to change your active printer to one of the other installed
     printers and will allow you to change typefaces. Only install the
     drivers needed.

     Installing too many drivers will slow actual printing. Printer
     drivers will be installed in the "WONDER" directory in the file
     SLATE.PDB.

     Chapter 33 of the manual provides details on the use of SLATE.

     IMPORTANT
     ---------
     All data files must reside in the \WONDER\DATA directory. In addition,
     FW requires a full 640K in order to operate, therefore TSR's (Terminate
     and Stay Resident programs) should not be used unless they are
     relatively small. For example, Sidekick would severely restrict the
     memory needs of FW, whereas a Screen Saver program should operate
     without concern.

     FW will take advantage of the memory manager "Memory Commander," to
     expand available DOS memory space to 800KB or 900KB.


     HIGH MEMORY MANAGER
     -------------------
     FW can make use of expanded and extended memory. To use extended
     memory either HIMEM.SYS or a compatible driver such as "QEMM" or "386
     to the Max" needs to be installed. (Do not install HIMEM.SYS if another
     driver providing XMS support is already in use.) If needed, detailed
     instructions are included in Chapter 2 of the on-line manual.


     Memory Commander
     ----------------
     Financial Wonder is fully compatible with Memory Commander from V 
     Communications Inc.  With an 80386 computer and 512KB extended memory, 
     Financial Wonder can operate with as little as a 4KB video area, and
     8KB across a network. This allows Financial Wonder to operate with
     over 900KB of contiguous DOS memory space, using Memory Commmander.

     Starting Financial Wonder
     -------------------------
     1.  Go to the C:\WONDER directory.

     2.  Type FWSB, then ENTER or RETURN - FW for Small Business

     Check the README file and the manual for further details on
     configuring the program once installed.
