Coronado Enterprises Pascal TUTOR (ver 2.00)      Jan 15, 1988

         Getting Started with the Pacal tutorial

     The first thing you should do is to backup the distribution
diskettes and store the distribution diskettes away in a safe
place.  Use only the copy for all operations.

          Getting started with the TEXT diskette

     Before you begin to study Pascal, you must print out a copy
of the tutorial text.  The file named PRINTEXT.BAT is designed
to help you to do this.  Simply type the name PRINTEXT at the
DOS prompt and all of the tutorial text will be printed for you.
When the system displays "Name of list device [PRN]:", hit the
return key to accept the default.  This batch file uses the DOS
command PRINT.COM to actually do the printing and it has an upper
limit of 10 files that can be queued up at once.  There is there-
fore a pause after each group of print requests to allow the
queue to empty out, after which you must hit any key to allow
printing to continue.  If you key these commands in manually,
you can print in the background, and be using your computer to
do something else (provided of course that the something else
doesn't require the printer).

           Getting started with the SOURCE diskette

     If you desire, a printout of all Pascal files can be made
using the PRINTALL.BAT file included.  Simply type PRINTALL at the
command prompt with the printer on and lots of paper in place.
It will print about 130 pages.  You may want to edit a copy of the
PRINTALL.BAT file to only print part of the files initially, and
print the remainder as you come to them in the lessons.

               FILES ON THE SOURCE DISKETTE

  READ.ME - The file you are presently reading.

  PRINTALL.BAT - This is a batch file that can be used to print
                 all of the source files on your printer.  This
                 uses LIST.COM to print the files.

   <filename>.PAS - These are the Pascal source files you will
                 compile and run during the course of these
                 tutorial lessons.

   <filename>.TXT _ There are two of these files. They are data
                 files to be used for inputting data to example
                 Pascal programs.

   LIST.COM - This is the Pascal printing program used to give
                 you a listing of the Pascal source files with
                 line numbers. To use it, enter the following at
                 the DOS prompt;

                 LIST GOODFORM.PAS (or whatever filename desired)

   KIBBLES.BIT - This file will be generated by one program in
                 chapter 11, and read by another. It does not
                 exist on your distribution diskette.

At this time, Coronado Enterprises has completed tutorials on Pascal,
Modula-2, and C.  A special tutorial is also completed specializing
in TURBO C.  Other languages are being considered but we need your
thoughts as to what languages should be covered with a tutorial next.
Please write and let us know your needs.

_______ Enclosed is $10.00 to help cover the cost and time of
        writing the Pascal tutorial which I found useful.  Please
        send me a current list of tutorials.

_______ Enclosed is nothing, I do not wish to pay anything, but I
        would like a current list of tutorials. I have enclosed a
