                    INTRODUCTION

       The command files which are essential to the operation
of your dBASE II program are as follows:

         DBASE.COM                    DBASEMSG.COM
         DBASEJOI.OVR                 DBASEBRO.OVR
         DBASETTL.OVR                 DBASEMAI.OVR
         DBASEAPP.OVR                 DBASEUPD.OVR                      
         DBASERPG.OVR                 DBASEMSC.OVR
         DBASESRT.OVR                 DBASEMOD.OVR
         INSTALL.COM

       These files may be moved to your working disks by             
employing the PIP command on your CP/M system.  After you
INSTALL dBASE II for your terminal, the install parameters
will be copied along with the dBASE command files.

       Print out EXAMPLES.DOC for an explanation of the
sample programs contained on this disk.  These programs
may be immediately used for the purposes described.  We
suggest that you study these and the programs in the
first part of the dBASE Manual for hints on how to
construct your data base and command files. 

       If you have not made two back-up copies of this disk
PLEASE DO SO NOW.
