System Settings:
--------------------------
Modify your system's CONFIG.SYS file to contain the following:

        FILES=30
        BUFFERS=30

CMS for Windows requires the DOS system BUFFERS and FILES values be
set to 30 or greater.  If your CONFIG.SYS file already includes
commands for FILES and BUFFERS, check to be sure the values are
greater than or equal to 30.

Disk Space Requirements:
--------------------------
Allow approximately 3K bytes per Autotest record in your databases.

CMS For Windows requires free disk space equal to the size of your
database to perform the sorting, filtering (selecting), printing, and
print previewing functions.

Network Users:
--------------------------
CMS For Windows is not a network product.  It may be installed on a
network drive and will function properly, however multiple users
cannot access the same database at the same time.

Restrictions
--------------------------
1. Print Preview Screen:
   The PgUp and PgDn keys cause the screen to flash in print preview
   but don't actually scroll the screen up or down.
2. Maximum Number of Records:
   Up to 500 records may be stored in an individual database.
3. Duplicate Circuit IDs:
   The Circuit ID field is used as a unique record identifier
   in the database.  Therefore, duplicate Circuit IDs are not
   permitted.

Recommendations:
----------------
1. In the Options Setup screen, be sure that the selection box
   for "Retain Scanner CSV Files" is checked. This option saves
   your imported Scanner data as CSV files. If you encounter problems
   with your imported scanner data, you can directly access the data
   via the CSV file without having to perform another download from
   the Scanner.


CSV.EXE Utility:
----------------
CMS for Windows includes a utility, CSV.EXE, that converts PentaScanner
text reports into CSV records that can be imported into the CMS for
Windows databases.  The utility is intended for users who have stored
electronic copies of Autotest Reports generated by the PentaScanner
while running software version 1.01a or 1.10a.  By specifying the input
and output filenames, you can convert saved reports into CSV records
to import into CMS for Windows.

To use the utility, type the following at the DOS prompt:

        CSV  infile outfile

        where:
        infile is the input file containing Autotest Reports in text format
        outfile is the output file containing CSV records converted from the
        input file

If the output file exists, the utility will prompt you prior to
overwriting the file. While conversion is in progress, a record counter
will display the number of the records processed.
