A typical name for a database configuration file is CONFIG.DB if you are using a product from Ashton-Tate or Fox Software. You can use an ASCII editor to modify this file. Remove the line COMMAND=ASSIST. One this command line is removed, the ASSIST  screen is bypassed and the dot prompt is displayed each time the program is run. You can also remove STATUS=ON if the status display becomes bothersome each time you run the program. If you are using Data+Pro supplied with this book, you do not need to make any special changes after initial installation, as it comes preconfigured for you.

INSTALLING DATA+PLUS Install Data+Pro as follows.

1.         Put the companion Data+Pro diskette in drive A.

2.         Type INSTALL and press <Enter>.

3.         Follow the on-screen prompts. Data+Pro is put into the DP-PRO directory on your hard drive (usually C).

4.         Exit Data+Pro (or “DPP”) by typing QUIT at the dot prompt.

5.         Run DPP by logging the DP-PRO directory, typing DP, and pressing <Enter>.

When DPP is running, you can type DO MENU <Enter> from the dot prompt to run a menu program. This program gives you instant access to the programs included in this book, which are identified by section number.
