     Section 1 -  Checking your hardware
 ********************************************************************

 1. Checking and Verifying your Hard Drive

    It's always a good idea to back up any important files on your
    system. Now would be an excellent time to remove any files that
    you no longer use. Also, you should run a diagnostic program such
    as CHKDSK or SCANDISK to make sure your hard drive is in good
    working order. To run either of these utilities on your C: drive,
    enter the following command at a DOS prompt:

         CHKDSK C:
         SCANDISK C: (if you have DOS version 6.x or higher)

   For more information about these utilities, consult your DOS
   manual.

 2. DISK DRIVES

   With some computers, you may need to put disks in ALL available
   drives in order to proceed. If you see a message like "Error
   reading drive x, Abort, Retry, Fail," press F for Fail and
   you may be able to proceed anyway.

   If you have difficulty reading any of your drives or if any
   phantom drives show up that do not exist, try editing the GEOS.INI
   file to tell the software the exact drive specifications. In the
   [system] section of the GEOS.INI file you could add the line

      drive b = 0

   This tells the software to ignore drive b. Using the format

      drive <letter> = <number>

   you can use any of the following drive specifications

      0       =>      Ignore the drive
      360     =>      360K Low Density 5.25" floppy disk
      720     =>      720K Low Density 3.5" floppy disk
      1200    =>      1.2Mb High Density 5.25" floppy disk
      1440    =>      1.44Mb High Density 3.5" floppy disk
      2880    =>      2.88Mb 3.5" floppy disk
      65535   =>      Hard drive, CD ROM, or large removable disk

   If trouble reading, copying, or formatting diskettes persists,
   try putting the line

      waitpost = false

   in the [system] section of the GEOS.INI file.

 ********************************************************************
     Section 2 -  Disk Space
 ********************************************************************

 The installation will not proceed normally if you do not have enough
 free disk space on your hard drive. You will need at least 10 MB
 (ten megabytes) of free disk space. If the installation fails, check
 to see how much space you have left on your hard drive by entering
 the following command at a DOS prompt:

      DIR     <ENTER>

 At the end of the list of files you will see the number of bytes
 free on the hard drive.

 ********************************************************************
     Section 3 -  Conventional Memory
 ********************************************************************

 If you get the error "Not enough memory to install" or if the
 installation procedure fails before it can copy any files to your
 hard drive, you may not have enough free conventional memory to run
 the installer. The installer requires approximately 520K of free
 conventional memory. Try removing any unnecessary TSRs and device
 drivers from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, or boot your
 computer from a system diskette to free more conventional memory.

 ********************************************************************
     Section 4 -  Previous Versions
 ********************************************************************

 1. DOCUMENTS FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS

   Documents and fonts from previous versions of the software may
   be used with this software. Applications that work with previous
   versions of NewDeal or with Geoworks Ensemble 2.0 should work
   with this version.

 2. INSTALLING OVER PREVIOUS VERSIONS (2.X ONLY)

   We recommend that you install this version in its own new
   directory, however, you may install this over a previous version
   safely. The installation program will back up your old GEOS.INI
   file as GEOS.01 (if it already exists, then GEOS.02 and so on),
   and will modify the file accordingly while keeping your old
   preferences. Your old token database will also be backed up as
   TOKEN.01 (if it already exists, then TOKEN.02 and so on). The
   installation program is non-destructive, which means your
   documents will not be deleted, nor any additional programs you
   may have installed. Only original NewDeal program and system
   files, clip art files, and templates will be replaced with their
   new versions.

 ********************************************************************
     Section 5 -  Running NewDeal
 ********************************************************************

 1. HOW TO RUN NEWDEAL

   The program is in a directory called NDE and the command to
   start the program is NEWDEAL or NDE. Therefore to start software
   from the C:\ prompt (which is your hard disk drive)
   type:
                C:               [ENTER]
                CD\NDE           [ENTER]
                NEWDEAL (or NDE) [ENTER]

   If you want the software to start automatically when you switch
   the computer on, run the following utility (this applies only to 
   DOS, Window users please refer to WINDOWS section). At the C:\ 
   prompt, type:
                C:          [ENTER]
                CD\NDE      [ENTER]
                BT2NEW      [ENTER]

 2. HOW TO RUN THE HELP UTILITY

   When you install the software, a file called NEWHELP.EXE is
   installed along with the other files. NewHelp is a program
   designed to help you diagnose and fix problems you may encounter.
   To start the NewHelp program, at the DOS prompt type:

              C:           [ENTER]
              CD\NDE       [ENTER]
              NEWHELP      [ENTER]

 3. DOS PATH

   The install program will check your AUTOEXEC.BAT to determine if
   the NDE directory is in your path. If the installation modifies 
   your AUTOEXEC.BAT, you will need to reboot your computer after the 
   installation for the changes to take effect.

 4. NOVELL NETWORK

   If you are connected to a NOVELL network, you may need to create a
   SHELL.CFG file in the root directory of C: drive. To create the
   file, enter the following command at the DOS prompt:

              echo file handles = 100 > shell.cfg
              (then hit the enter key)

   "file handles = 100" will be the only line in the file.

 ********************************************************************
     Section 6 -  Using NewDeal with Windows
 ********************************************************************

 1. CREATING AN ICON IN WINDOWS v3.X TO RUN NEWDEAL

   NewDeal will run as a full screen DOS application from within
   Windows. We provided a PIF file as to make the creation of a group
   and icons for Windows v3.x.

    Creating a Group from within Windows v3.x

    a NewDeal icon.

 2. RUNNING NEWDEAL WITH WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS (v3.11)

   If you wish to run the software from Windows for Workgroups 3.11,
   you must disable 32-bit file access. Here are the easy steps to
   disable 32-bit file access:
     A. Double Click on Control Panel
     B. Double Click on Enhanced
     C. Double Click on Virtual Memory
     D. Uncheck the box for 32-Bit File Access

     E. Click on Shortcut
     F. Click on Browse
     G. Double click on the NDE folder
     H. Click on next
     I. Double click on LOADER.EXE
     J. Select a new name (we suggest NewDeal Release 3 Evaluation)
     K. Click on Finished

 4. NEWDEAL RUNNING UNDER WINDOWS 95

   Now that NewDeal installed, here is a series of
   steps to make NewDeal run efficiently with Windows 95.

     A. Right click on your newly created NewDeal Icon
     B. Click on PROPERTIES menu option
     C. Click on PROGRAMS tab
     D. Check that it points exactly to where you have it installed
        (usually C:\NDE).
     E. Click on CLOSE ON EXIT
     F. Click on ADVANCED button
     G. Click in the brackets next to  
        [X] Prevent MS-DOS Based programs from detecting Windows
        [ ] Suggest MS-DOS Mode as necessary
     H. Click on the SCREEN tab
     I. Change Screen Usage from Window to Full Screen
     J. Click on the MISC tab
     K. Click in the brackets next to
        [ ] Allow screen saver
        [X] Mouse exclusive mode
     L. Click on the APPLY button (if any changes were made)

 5. PRINTING CONFLICTS AND WINDOWS 95

   On some computers, Windows 95 and NewDeal may both try
   to control the printer port. Some quick and easy solutions to this
   problem are as follows (use second or third solutions if the first 
   does not resolve the conflict):

     A. Run Preferences, Computer
     B. Change the setting for your LPT to "DOS"

   (Solution 2)
     A. Double Click on My Computer
     B. Double Click on Printer Folder
     C. Click on your printer icon
     D. Click on File, Click on Properties
     E. Click on the Details Tab
     F. Click on Spool Settings
     G. Change Spool option from Spool after first page is printed to
        Spool after last page is printed

   (Solution 3)
     A. Double Click on My Computer
     B. Double Click on Printer Folder
     C. Click on your printer icon
     D. Click on File, Click on Properties
     E. Click on the Details Tab
     F. Click on Port Settings
     G. Make sure the [ ] Spool MS-DOS print jobs is unchecked.


 6. MOUSE PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS 95

   Windows takes over control of the mouse. Here is the easiest way
   to customize your machine to allow both NewDeal and
   Windows 95 to work together.
     A. Load up NewDeal, press CTRL+ESC to open the Express menu
     B. Use your arrow keys navigate to Preferences and
        press the ENTER key to run Preferences
     C. Use the TAB key to navigate to the Mouse button.
     D. Press the SPACEBAR to run the Mouse Preferences module.
     E. Press the TAB key to navigate to the Change button
        and press Spacebar to open it.
     F. Select Windows 95 mouse support already installed
        (Alternatives: Generic, Nothing else works, or No Idea)
     G. Press the ENTER key.

 7. MULTITASKING UNDER WINDOWS 95

   If Windows 95 will not let you task switch, it is due to
   conflicting video modes. Here is one way to ensure that Windows 95
   will permit you to switch to and from NewDeal:
     A. Run NewDeal
     B. Double Click on the Preference Icon
     C. Click on the Video icon
     D. Change the video driver to VGA: 640x480 16-Color
     E. Click OK.
   Now you will be able to task switch. Use ALT+TAB as your task 
   switching hot key.

 ********************************************************************
     Section 7 -  If NewDeal does not work
 ********************************************************************

 1. NOMEM TEST

   If you have extended or expanded memory (any RAM beyond 640K) and
   you are having problems running your software, try starting
   NewDeal by typing:
            NEWDEAL /nomem
   at the DOS prompt in the directory where you installed NewDeal.
   You must type this in lowercase letters. The nomem parameter 
   instructs the software to ignore any extended or expanded
   memory in your system. If using nomem solves your problem, it was
   probably caused by a TSR such as a RAM disk, memory manager,
   that uses your expanded or extended memory in your computer.

 2. TO MAKE THE NOMEM SETTING PERMANENT

   Run Preferences and click on the Computer icon. Select None for 
   Extra Memory and OK to accept the setting. Close Preferences.

 3. VIDEO DRIVERS

   If you completed the install and you cannot see anything on your
   screen when you try to start the software, the install program may
   have chosen the wrong video driver. The first step in solving this
   problem is to know what type of video adapter you have. If you do
   not know, you should contact your hardware vendor to find out.
   Then follow these steps

   A. Run install from the first disk again by typing a:install
   B. Choose the Install Individual File(s) option
   C. Install one of the following files based on your display
      adapter

         loadervg.exe      VGA
         loadereg.exe      EGA
         loadercg.exe      CGA
         loadermc.exe      MCGA
         loaderhg.exe      Hercules

   D. Rename the file you install to loader.exe by typing:
         CD\NDE
         REN LOADER.EXE LOADER.BCK
         REN LOADERHG.EXE LOADER.EXE

      In this example, we installed loaderhg.exe into the NDE
      directory. If you have a different display device or you
      installed the software in a different directory, substitute 
      the appropriate display device and directory in the commands
      above.

   E. Edit the GEOS.INI file to add the appropriate video
      driver entries immediately below the line [screen0]

         device = VGA: 640x480 16-color
         driver = Standard VGA Driver

         device = EGA: 640x350 16-color
         driver = EGA Driver

         device = CGA Compatible: 640x200 Mono
         driver = CGA Driver

         device = IBM MCGA: 640x480 Mono
         driver = MCGA Driver

         device = Hercules HGC Compatible: 720x348 Mono
         driver = Hercules Monochrome Driver

      A few systems have to be switched to graphics mode from
      the keyboard before they will run the software. If you
      start NewDeal and get a blank screen, try typing
      either of these commands at the DOS prompt before you
      start the software.

         MODE CO80 (that's c o 8 zero - changes to 80-column mode)
       or
         MODE MONO (changes to monochrome mode on some systems)

 4. COLOR MONITORS THAT ONLY SHOW BLACK AND WHITE

   If you are using a CGA or MCGA type video adapter, NewDeal
   will appear only in black and white. Both CGA and MCGA
   offer monochrome resolutions of 640x200 lines and 640x480
   respectively, but in color their resolutions both drop to 320x200
   lines, too low for NewDeal color graphics.

 5. SUPER VGA MONITORS THAT ONLY WORK IN NORMAL VGA

   NewDeal currently supports high resolution on most
   Super VGA systems. VESA Super VGA is the closest thing to a 
   Super VGA standard. If you are not sure what kind of Super VGA
   card you have, you may want to try our VESA compatible Super 
   VGA drivers. If none of the drivers seem to work, the video board
   itself may not be prepared to utilize Super VGA mode. To fix this,
   run the setup program that came with your video board. If even
   then super VGA mode does not work, you may need to use Standard VGA
   at 640x480.

 6. SCREEN BLANKERS / SCREEN SAVERS

   NewDeal is not compatible with most screen blankers.
   Once they blank the screen, you will probably have to restart your
   computer before you can use NewDeal again. Disable all
   screen blanking software before you run the software. We
   include screen savers. To select a screen saver,
   run Preferences and click on Lights Out.

 7. PRINTER PROBLEMS

   Our #1 Printer troubleshooting hint.
      A. Double click the Preference icon.
      B. Select Computer
      C. Select BIOS on the parallel port you are using to print 
         (typically LPT1).
      D. Click OK

   Setting the port to BIOS tells NewDeal to use a method
   of printing similar to that used by MS-DOS. If the BIOS setting
   doesn't work, try the DOS setting. Note that the DOS setting may
   produce a strange error message No Formatted disk in drive if the
   printer is off-line. This is a result of the way DOS reports the
   error. If neither BIOS nor DOS works, try the 7 setting for
   printing on LPT1 or the 5 setting for printing on LPT2.

 8. DOES IT PRINT WITH OTHER SOFTWARE?

   If you cannot print at all from NewDeal, you may not
   have the printer hooked up to the computer properly. Check to see
   if you can print from other software programs. If not, then you
   need to double check the printer connections. If you can print
   from another program, make a note of what LPT port the printer is
   set up for in that software and tell NewDeal to use
   that same port.

 9. DISTORTED OR GARBLED PRINTOUTS

   If your printer is printing strange characters or output appears
   distorted, you may have chosen the wrong printer driver. Try using
   other printer drivers on the list by double clicking Preferences,
   then click Printer and click on New. If your printer does not
   appear on the list of supported printers, check the printers
   documentation. Maybe your printer emulates (mimics) some other
   brand or model.

   NOTE: Always check and make sure that Default Sizes are correct,
   whenever you change your printer drivers.

 10. MOUSE PROBLEMS

   There are no known mouse problems at this time. If you are using
   Windows 95 on your computer, please check the Windows 95 section
   elsewhere in this guide.

 11. OS/2

   You can install under OS/2 in a regular DOS full screen window.
   The DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE setting on the session page should be blank.
   Increase the number of DOS_FILES available to that DOS box to at
   least 80. Make sure that the HW_TIMER setting is on. All other
   values can be left as the defaults.

   If you are installing from an OS/2 DOS session you may receive an
   error message indicating that you don't have enough room on your
   hard drive. NOTE: The install program will allow you to continue
   if you are sure that there is enough space.

   You might get a "SYS Error 0005. Access Denied" error while
   installing under OS/2, because OS/2 thinks there is an extended
   attribute set for all of the files on the installation disks.

   To change this extended attribute:
                              
   A. Use the DISKCOPY command to copy each installation disk to a
      diskette that is not write protected.
                              
   B. Run CHKDSK /f on each diskette. OS/2 will correct what it
      thinks is an extended attribute error on every file.

   C. Then install from the copies.

 ********************************************************************
     Section 8 -  Error Messages
 ********************************************************************

 1. SHARE TABLE OVERFLOW

   This error means that the DOS utility program SHARE.EXE is not set
   high enough for NewDeal. You should check the AUTOEXEC.BAT for a 
   line such as

       C:\DOS\SHARE.EXE /f:4096

   If this line does not exist or there is no /f:4096, you should add
   it. If the line is correct and you still get the error message,
   try increasing the number 4096 in increments of 2048 until the
   error message stops.

 2. GEOS.INI FILE HAS BEEN CORRUPTED

   The GEOS.INI file will be located in the C:\NDE directory if
   you installed the program into that drive and directory. Should
   the file ever become damaged, you can copy the file from the
   original install installation files.

   If you have installed NewDeal into a directory other than C:\NDE, 
   substitute the appropriate drive and directory in these commands.

 3. SYSTEM ERROR: KR-07, KR-09

   System error: KR-09 or System Error: KR-07 can be caused by memory
   (RAM) conflicts, damaged files, or faulty program instructions.

   Primary reasons for getting system errors.
     A. A one-in-a-million fluke
     B. Problems in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file
     C. Corrupt files or bad sectors on your hard drive
     D. Damaged document files
     E. A conflict with other software
     F. Low on hard disk space
     G. Low on memory (RAM)
     H. A virus
     I. KR-07, KR-09 and Windows 95

 DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

 These problems are usually easy to track down and fix. Go through
 the following steps, in order, to locate and fix the source of the
 error.

  A. A ONE-IN-A-MILLION FLUKE

     Turn off your computer. Wait a few seconds, then turn it on
     again. Go back into NewDeal. Do exactly what you were
     doing when the error message appeared. If you don't get another
     error message, it was probably a one-time fluke. If you only get
     the error in one specific document, skip to section D, Damaged
     Documents.

  B. CHECK YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT AND CONFIG.SYS FILES

     Check your configuration files for problems. To edit these
     files, use a text editor such as the Text File Editor, the MS-DOS
     Edit or Edlin command, or the DR-DOS Editor. First enter VER at
     a DOS prompt to find out which version of DOS you're using. Then
     look under the appropriate section below.

     MS-DOS - CONFIG.SYS
      -  Make sure you have a line that reads BUFFERS=30 (or higher)
      -  Make sure you have FILES=30 (or FILES=120 if you use
         DOSSHELL)
      -  If you have a line that refers to SHARE.EXE, follow the
         instructions above about raising the value of the /f:
         parameter. (It is recommended to load SHARE.EXE in the
         AUTOEXEC.BAT file)
      -  If you see a line that includes FASTOPEN, delete the line
         (or put REM at the beginning of the line).

     MS-DOS - AUTOEXEC.BAT
      -  If you see a line that includes FASTOPEN, delete the line
         (or put REM at the beginning of the line).
      -  If you have a line that refers to SHARE.EXE, follow the
         instructions above about raising the value of the /f:
         parameter.

     DR-DOS - CONFIG.SYS
      -  Make sure you have the line FILES=120 (or higher)
      -  Make sure you have BUFFERS=30 (or HIBUFFERS=30)

     Save the files, then reboot your computer so the changes can
     take effect. Now try to reproduce the steps that gave you the
     error.

  C. BAD SECTORS ON YOUR HARD DISK

     The first thing to do is use the DOS CHKDSK command. To run
     CHKDSK, completely exit any program you're in and enter 
     CHKDSK /f at a DOS prompt. If CHKDSK displays Cross-linked
     files, you need to delete the cross-linked files and reinstall
     the software. Over time, it's not unusual for hard disks to
     develop small surface defects that result in bad sectors. The
     only ways to check for and fix bad sectors are to use a
     commercial hard disk utility program, such as Norton Disk Doctor
     or PC Tools DiskFix or the old method: backup the hard drive,
     reformat it, and restore your files from the backup. With
     MS-DOS 6.0 and higher, there is a utility called SCANDISK
     which is comparable to Disk Doctor or DiskFix. To maintain
     hard disk integrity, it is also a good idea to run a hard
     disk defragmentation utility like SPEEDISK from Norton or DEFRAG
     with MS-DOS 6.0 or higher.
    
     You could also try installing the software into a new,
     different directory on the hard drive. Make sure you use the CD
     command to change to this directory before typing NEWDEAL or NDE
     to start NewDeal (otherwise you may run the original
     copy). If you don't experience problems, your original copy of
     NewDeal is either damaged or is written on bad
     sectors of your hard drive. If you find errors: Once you've
     fixed the hard disk problems, you should re-install NewDeal.
     Use your original installation disks, and choose the
     New Install option. Re-installing this way won't delete or copy
     over your personal documents.

  D. DAMAGED DOCUMENTS

     If you only get the error message when working on one document,
     the document is damaged. Use your backup copy to replace the
     file. If you don't have a backup copy, you'll have to re-create
     the document from scratch. You should backup any files that you
     don't want to re-create. If your damaged document was created in
     NewWrite, the SALVAGE program may help you recover the text
     portion of the document. It is always a good idea to save and
     backup important work.

  E. SOFTWARE CONFLICTS

     Quick and easy test for software conflicts:
    
     At the DOS prompt and enter
        NEWDEAL /nomem
     This tells NewDeal to ignore any expanded or extended
     memory, which is usually where conflicting software resides. If
     you still get the error, try the more thorough test outlined
     below. If you no longer get the error, you have a software
     conflict. You can either go into Preferences, Computer and change
     the Extra Memory option to None, or perform the more thorough
     test below.

     More thorough test: Boot from a clean floppy disk. You can make
     a boot disk (also called a system disk) from the DOS prompt by
     entering FORMAT A: /S. On this floppy, put a CONFIG.SYS file
     with only the lines you absolutely need to make your computer
     work (generally that's only FILES=30 and BUFFERS=30). If you
     run any disk compression utilities like Stacker or SuperStor,
     you'll need to include any statements from your configuration
     files that make those programs run. Don't include your mouse
     driver, expanded memory managers, or any disk caching programs
     (such as SMARTDRV). If you don't get the errors after booting
     from the clean floppy disk, you can add lines from your original
     CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
     on the bootable diskette. Add one line, save the file, reboot,
     and run NewDeal. Eventually you'll find the line that's
     causing the problem.

  F. LOW ON HARD DISK SPACE

     You should have at least 2,048,000 bytes of free hard disk space
     for the program to work properly, and preferably more for
     improved performance. You can free up some space by backing up
     rarely used programs or documents to disk and deleting them from
     the hard drive.

  G. LOW ON CONVENTIONAL MEMORY (BELOW 640K)

     Low on memory (RAM) - NewDeal requires at least 520K of free
     conventional memory to run. If you are loading a lot of device
     drivers and memory-resident programs before you load the
     software, you might be running out of memory. The DOS command
     CHKDSK tells you the amount of free conventional memory. At the
     very end of the CHKDSK report, you'll see a number labeled
     x bytes free. "x" is the amount of free conventional memory.
     This number should be at least 524,288. If it's lower, you need
     to disable some of the programs that are loading into your
     conventional memory. You can do this by inserting REM at the
     beginning of the line that loads the program in your
     AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file. You'll need to reboot for the
     changes to take effect.

  H. VIRUS ATTACKS

     Check your computer's hard drive for viruses. Use a program like
     McAfee's Pro Scan, Norton Anti-Virus, or any reputable
     virus-checking software. If you find a virus, remember to also
     check every floppy in your home or office. In the unlikely event
     that you do have a virus, cure it and re-install NewDeal.

  I. KR-07, KR-09 and Windows 95

     Windows 95 automatically loads its own drivers for your
     hardware. Should you have any of the following DOS-based drivers
     loaded in your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files, they may be
     conflicting with the Windows 95 drivers and you may need to 
     remove them in order to run NewDeal.

     Possible Problem Drivers
     -  CD-ROM Drivers
     -  Mouse Drivers
     -  Network Drivers

  4. OTHER SUGGESTIONS

   If you are using MS-DOS 5 or MS-DOS 6 or Novell DOS 7, try raising
   the number of FILES = x in your CONFIG.SYS file to 80 or 100. If
   you are using DR DOS 6 or DOSSHELL, be sure you have FILES = 120
   (or a higher number) in your CONFIG.SYS file.
