********  Notes on running UCS software on an Gridpad RC or HD.  ***********

The following instructions assume you are familiar with basic DOS commands
such as dir, type, cd, etc., and that you have the file "config.sys" and 
the file "autoexec.bat" at the root of your boot drive.  Also you must 
have a text editor available and be familiar with its operation.

UCS software runs on an MS-DOS compatible machine in conjunction with a 
special operating environment provided by GRiD systems.  As with many 
MS-DOS applications, UCS software requires expanded memory to run properly.

The special operating environment is provided on UCS demo diskettes and 
will be loaded and unloaded when you run the batch file to launch UCS
software.  However, you must explicitly provide expanded memory on your
machine for UCS software to run properly.

The expanded memory manager ("emm.sys") must be present on your machine 
(it comes pre-loaded in ROM) and loaded in your config.sys.  

        The following must appear in config.sys:
        device=<path>himem.sys
        device=<path>emm.sys

        Where <path> is the DOS path to your expanded memory driver.  
        For the Gridpad RC, the path should be "c:\".
        For the Gridpad HD, the path should be "b:\".
        
That is all that is required.  See the file "readme.txt" for general 
instructions on running UCS software.
