software from a hard disk on a PC or laptop computer. The minimum requirements to run the
software program is a 80386 processor with 4 Megabytes of RAM and a VGA Monitor. A bus
mouse or a serial mouse on a COM port 1 greatly assists in working with this software, and using
a color VGA monitor will enhance the graphics.

necessarily show a sequence of operations necessary to do everything which might be desired,

requirements.
