TERMINAL DEPENDENCIES

This KEEP-TRAK version, the one published in PROGRAMMING FOR
REAL, BOOK II runs on a Televideo 920.  The Osborne 1 computer
uses a Televideo-compatible terminal.  Other computers do, too.  
A version of the program for the VT-100 terminal (DEC Rainbow and
others) is available.  Contact the author for details.

REQUIREMENTS

KEEP-TRAK requires Microsoft BASIC, MBASIC, and a two-drive (A: 
and B:) computer system.  It will run under any operating system 
that supports MBASIC.

OPERATION

To run KEEP-TRAK, extract all files from the KEEPTRAK.LBR library 
file (using LU or a similar library utility), unsqueeze them 
(using NUSQ or a similar unsqueezing utility), and place them on 
one disk with a copy of MBASIC.  Place that disk in drive A: and 
a blank, formatted disk in B:.  Execute MBASIC K-TMENU<cr>.  
Follow the directions on the screen.

Do not try to execute any program in this system except K-TMENU!  
The others chain from K-TMENU and pass variables back and forth.  
Without those variables, serious problems will ensue.
