MacCharlie is a co-processing device with software manufactured by Dayna Communications, Inc. MacCharlie enables your Macintosh computer to access and control the myraid of programs originally written for the IBM Personal Computer (PC) or its compatibles.
This manual will not teach you how to use your Macintosh. If you are not yet comfortable with basic Macintosh skills, please read Macintosh, the owner's guide that came with your Macintosh.
This manual will introduce you to the skills you need to run IBM PC software on MacCharlie. The instructions assume that you are not experienced with the IBM PC or any PC compatibles. Once you've mastered a few new techniques, you'll apply them whenever you use your MacCharlie.
However, to master the features of specific IBM PC application packages, you will need to study the manuals included with those packages.
This manual tells you how to:
Read Chapter I to learn the basics and to get started using your MacCharlie. Then read Chapter 2 to become familiar with MacCharlies operating system, MS-DOS, and to begin using your IBM PC applications software.
Use Chapter 3 for reference regarding the many menus and options available to you in MacCharlie . Return to Chapter 4 when you want to learn how to expand your MacCharlie to give you even more versatility.
Read Chapter 5 soon to learn how to care for your MacCharlie.
The Appendices contain technical information or instructions for certain specialized applications.
