GRAPHIO         BAR Graphics on the ATARI Portfolio

GRAPHIO.EXE is a program that uses the graphic capabilities of the ATARI
Portfolio. The program reads lists of numbers from one of the Portfolio
applications, in particular the WORKSHEET, and makes a BAR graph from it.

Getting started:

1.     Copy the program to the Portfolio, using either the serial or parallel
       interface. Make sure there is enough space : graphio.exe at the moment
       occupies 11120 bytes.
2.     Start the Portfolio worksheet and load or type a list of numbers in
       one column.
3.     Save the list in the Clipboard. (Go to top of list, press F3, MARK,
       go to bottom of list, press F3 , STORE), and quit the application. 
4.     Start by typing GRAPHIO <enter>.
       The program looks up CLIPBORD.DAT, and, if it finds any numbers, uses
       them to make a bar graph.
5.     If a matrix printer is attached to the Portfolio, three sizes of
       hardcopy can be produced by pressing F1, F2 or F3.

GRAPHIO.EXE was written to make use of the graphic possibilities of the ATARI
Portfolio pocket computer.
The program was written using Borland's Turbo Pascal 5.5 ,using some special
techniques to compile an EXE file small enough for the Portfolio.
The EXE file has been compacted using LZEXE by Fabrice Bellard,
to use as little of the precious card space as possible.

GRAPHIO.EXE and this documentation are FREEWARE , which I consider to be FREE 
for anyone to copy, but NOT FREE for anyone to alter.
