INTRODUCTION:

GraphP1an is an integrated software package that includes an
electronic spreadsheet, graphics, and database management capabilities. Data is entered into a table either one value at a time or
by an entire row or column. The user can edit data, perform
mathematical and statistical computations, do ·what-if Y analysis,
and perform numerical ranking of data and alphabetic sorting of
rows and columns. A versatile report formatter is provided to
generate printed tables.
By using the graphing commands, data from the table is transposed
into charts. Charts can be .displayed on the APC screen, printed
to a dot matrix printer, or output to a multi-pen plotter. The
user can select from eight colors (color APC only), six shading
patterns, and six symbols. The various types of charts include:
o

Bar/Line combination

Tables and charts can be saved to disk (ette) so they can be
retrieved, altered, or used for printing at a later time. An
on-screen meny an~ the HELP command provide fast and easy reference to all the GraphPlan ~o~m~nds. GraphPlan is fully compatible
with MicroPlan. Tables can be interchanged directly between
GraphPlan and MicroPlan.

a working copy of the GraphPlan diskette. To do this, you need
the CP/M-86 Operating System [version 1.1 (l.107:015;A) or
greater], the GraphPlan diskette, and a blank diskette.
PLEASE ~:
The following terms are interpreted as:

Refer to the CP/M-86 User's Guide for further information on the FORMAT utility.

Making a Working Copy
A utility called COPYDISK is supplied on the CP/M-86 operating system diskette, which will be used to copy all information from one diokette to another. Use this utility to make
a working copy of GraphPlan. Then store -the original diskette in a safe place in case the working copy is damaged.
Also, use COPYDISK per iodically to make bac·kup copies of
often u~ed diskettes. Refer to the CP/M-86 User's Guide for
further information on the COPYDISK utility.

What happens next, depends on the type of APC you have.
o If you have a dual-drive APC, the contents of the
diskette in drive A will be copied and then verified
to the diskette in drive A.
o If you have a single-drive APC, the utility reads a
portion of the source diskette, then prompts you to
remove the source diskette and insert the destination
diskette. The utility then writes to the destination
diskette and prompts you to rein~ert the source
diskettec This procedure is repeated until the
entire source diskette is copied and verified.

working copy diskette from now on. Label the GraphPlan
working copy diskette.

PIP-ing files to the GraphPlan Working Copy Diskette
Before you can use the working copy diskette of GraphPlan,
you must copy several files from the CP/M-86 operating system
diskette to it. Refer to the CP/M-86 User's Guide on how to
use the Peripheral Interchange Program (PIP or PIPl). If you
have a dual-drive APe, use PIP; if you have a single-drive
APC, use PIPl.

Putting the Loader on the GraphPlan Working Copy. Diskette
The CP/M-86 operating system diskette includes a 'utility
called LDCOPY which moves the system loader routine to other
diskettes. If you put the system loader routine on the
GraphPlan working copy diskette, it will automatically load
CP/M-86 into the APC whenever you turn on the power and
insert the GraphPlan working copy diskette into drive A.

Disk-Bas~:

Complete the following steps if the execution programs are to
reside on the hard disk.
1.

Follow steps 1 through 3 as outlined in the Floppy
Diskette-based section.

2.

Use the PIP utility~o copy the complete contents of the
GraphPlan working copy diskette to the selected hard disk
drive (disk drive E:). Then, all the GraphPlan execution
files will reside on the hard disk.

3.

Follow steps 4 through 5 as outlined in the Floppy
Diskette-based section.

4.

Alter the file AUTSTRT.SUB on your GraphPlan working copy
diskette using the ED.CMD file. You need to change
GraphPlan's default drive, so that the hard disk is used
automatically. Insert a new first line to the AUTSTRT.SUB
file. The first line should read "E:M (the default hard disk
drive). Refer to the CP/M-86 User's Guide for further information regarding the ED utility.

5.

To load GraphPlan, follow step 6 as ·outlined in the Floppy
Diskette-based section. Even though all your GraphPlan
files, tables, and charts are on the hard disk, you still
need to boot from drive A.

Additional Information:
1.

You may want to alter the AUTSTRT.SUB file to accommodate
other settings for SETCOM. Use the line editor provided on
the CP/M-86 operating system diskette (ED.CMD). Refer to the
CP/M-86 Userls Guide for further information regarding the ED
utility.

2.

The following example of tables and charts are provided on
your diskette:
FORECAST, FORTUNE, PIEDEMO and PRODUCT.
You can use these as test examples. Use command 106 (LOAD
ALL), enter the table name, and then execute command 61
(DISPLAY CHART). If you have a color APC, use command 63
(CHART OPTIONS), select option 2 (DEFINE CHART OPTIONS) and
specify COLOR=Y. Then resave your chart, using command 121
(SAVE CHT).

CAUTION~:

It is recommended that no more than one application package
reside on any given floppy, because the application packages
may require soft key setups.
The GraphPlan Userls Guide recommends a system containing 64K
Memory. Your APC must have a minimum of 256K RAM Memory
in order to load CRTDUMP and GRAPHICS.

GraphPlan is already configured for the APC. Appendix B of
the GraphPlan Userls Guide is for reference only.

4.

Use the following keys on the APC, in conjunction with these
symbols in the GraphPlan Userls Guide:
En

 keys simultaneously. Remember to
run CONFIG before using the CRTDUMP utility. Refer to the
CP/M-86 Operating System Release Bulletin (Rev 06) for
further information on the CONFIG and CRTDUMP utilities.

11.

To define a pie, follow these steps:
a)

Set the row/column range using commands 92 and 93.

b)

Use command 63 (CHART OPTIONS) and select option 2
(DEFINE CHART OPTIONS), enter:
o
o
o
o

c)

Main Title
X Axis Title
Graph 1, Type=Pie
Color (Y/N)

Use command 63 (CHART OPTIONS) and select option 4
(DEFINE PIE OPTIONS). The first segment will correspond
to the first non-zero row/column within your row/column
range. Enter the shades, colors and explode specification for each segment.

12.

The DISPLAY CHART option will show pie shade 6 as crosshatch
(dense) and pie shade 7 as crosshatch (vertical/horizontal).

13.

To change default drive assignments for loading/saving tables
and charts (file extensions .TBL and .CHT), use command 108
(SET DRIVE). The GraphPlan execution programs can reside on
a different drive than the user tables and charts. When
erasing a table or chart (commands 117 and 122) on a different drive, the file gets deleted; however, the entry in
TABLE.DIR or CHART.DIR remains •..

14.

Do not run GraphPlan from drive B without a formatted floppy
diskette in drive A.

15.

Pressing the combination  keys, performs an action
equivalent to command 9 (STOP) and a Yes response, exiting to
CP/M-86.
