Additional Comments - Navigator (The)

Unfortunately due to disk error the additional Toolkit resource file is damaged can't be launched. Since this is the only copy we've seen for decades, it has been archived as is until a complete version is found.

Instructions - Navigator (The)

                               24 January, 1987


         Hello, Navigators!   Welcome, and thank you for purchasing
         version 1.0 of The Navigator.  There are lots of files on
         your disk, so I felt some information might be welcomed.


                                    Backups

         Before saying anything else, I want to encourage you to make
         a backup copy of your distribution disk and then store it in
         a safe place.  The Navigator is not copy protected in any
         way.  I hope you'll keep faith and help prevent any
         unauthorized use of The Navigator.  (See the SOFTWARE ETHICS
         section at the back of the main manuals for a legal
         definition of "authorized use.")


                               Manuals & Guides

         I have placed all manuals and other documents in the NAVDOCS
         folder. All of these documents have been stored in standard
         text format, and can be printed from the desktop, or loaded
         into any word processor.   Be warned that MANUAL and GUIDE
         are both quite long. (MANUAL is about thirty pages)   By the
         way, the document files all end in .TXT.

         The first manual you'll want to print is "GUIDE.TXT", which
         is the new user's guide to The Navigator.   The new user's
         guide is just that, a simple guide showing how The Navigator
         works, and just what its capabilities are.

         Later, you'll want to print "MANUAL.TXT", which is the
         technical reference manual for The Navigator.  The reference
         manual contains a very thorough explanation of commands,
         options, and other technical data.   I'd like your opinion of
         the manual, and have placed a response sheet within it.
         Please let me encourage you to mail in any comments or
         requests.


                                    Folders

         Folders make life easier for us all, so The Navigator fully
         supports them with only one exception:  You must keep all
         resource files on the main disk directory - never in a
         folder!

         There are a few folders already included on your disk.   The
         "Routes" folder contains several sample routes that you can
         load and examine.   The "Navdata" folder contains some rather
         large waypoint databases, again for your use.  And lastly,
         the "Navdocs" folder contains all manuals.











                                   Programs

         There are two programs on your distribution disk: The
         Navigator (THENAV.PRG) and The Navigation Toolkit
         (NAVTOOLS.PRG).

         The Navigation Toolkit is a companion program to The
         Navigator and performs sophisticated data management
         operations on your waypoint databases. Future versions of The
         Navigation Toolkit will try to incorporate your requests.
         Ditto for The Navigator.

         Remember that you need two files on your disk before you can
         run either program. (.PRG and .RSC files)   All other files
         are optional and can be deleted if you wish to free some disk
         space.


                                   Navigate!

         Several very early and primitive versions of The Navigator
         may be on bulletin boards around the country. These
         unauthorized and unsupported programs bear the name Navigate!
         and are extremely "buggy".   Route files and datafiles used
         with Navigate! are not recognized by The Navigator and will
         cause the program to crash.  Remember, be sure not to attempt
         using any datafiles or routes associated with Navigate!.


                                   Databases

         I'm in the process of expanding The Navigator's databases.
         At present, the European database is very thorough, with over
         1,100 waypoints.  The US database, though, is quite
         incomplete, and contains only a few hundred waypoints.
         Future revisions of The Navigator will feature expanded
         databases.

                                 Translations

         With luck (and good sales!), the Navigator may soon be
         available for the Macintosh(tm) computer.
