MS-DOS

Summary:

Multiplan Versions 3.00 and 3.01 are identical. The label on the Version 3.01 disk will sometimes have the extension .300; however, if you press ESC, select Options, and press ENTER, it will display Version 3.01. This is normal for this version and will cause no problems.

The purpose of Version 3.02 is to make Multiplan compatible with the IBM Personal System 2 (PS/2) computers.

In addition, Version 3.02 allows up to a 50-line display on the models equipped with VGA cards. Personal System 2 models 50, 60, and 80 come standard with the VGA card built into the motherboard. To use a 50-line display, specify 50 under Format Default Height.

Please note that Multiplan Versions 3.00 and 3.01 allow only up to 43 lines to be displayed.

Because the IBM System 2 comes with a 3.5-inch drive, 3.5-inch disks are supplied with the Version 3.02 package.
