MS-DOS

Summary:

To run Multiplan under Windows, do the following.

For Multiplan Version 1.20
Install as a Sanyo or ANSI driver (in the Multiplan install program) to run in a window.

For Multiplan Versions 2.x
Choose Windows from the Multiplan Install menu. Deselect Screen in the PIF file to run Multiplan 2.x within a window. Both color and mouse are disabled with the Windows installation option. Screen display will be reduced by two rows to more appropriately fit within a window, and the menu will be hidden by the window border. Installing Multiplan in the IBM PC option will enable color and the mouse, but Multiplan will have to be run as a stand-alone application. All other applications will have to be closed in Windows before running Multiplan.

For Multiplan Versions 3.00, 3.01, 3.02, and 3.04
Run with the /W option indicated in the .PIF file’s program parameter field. This method enables you to run the program in a window under Windows without first having to run “install” for Windows.

For Multiplan Versions 4.00, 4.01, and 4.20
Create a PIF file for the application. There are no startup switches for running under Windows.
