Macintosh System Requirements
* RAM: the MacNail construction accounting software requires at least one megabyte
of RAM memory. memory You can use a Mac Plus, a Mac SE, any Mac II, or an SE/30. You can also
use any older Mac (128, 512,
or 512E) that has been upgraded to a Mac Plus.
NOTE: For best results, you should have the latest version of System and Finder installed
on your hard disk. You can usually get a free copy of the latest System software from your local dealer or
User's Group.
*
Hard Drive: Disk DrivesMacNail requires a hard disk of any size. We recommend a 20 megabyte
hard disk as an absolute minimum. 40 to 100 megabyte hard disks are not much more expensive, and the extra
space will nearly always be worth the extra cost.
*
Excel: MacNail requires that you have a copy of Microsoft Excel loaded onto your hard disk. MacNail
3.0 will only run successfully under Excel version 1.5 or greater.
NOTE: If you are using Excel version 2.2 or greater, we strongly recommend that you have a minimum
of two megabytes of RAM. See page 207.
Windows System Requirements
* Computer: the MacNail construction accounting software requires an IBM PS/2, or any
PS/2-compatible computer that is capable of supporting Microsoft Windows and extended memory. For best results,
your computer should have
at least a '286
processor, and a clock speed of at least 16 megahertz.
*
RAM: MacNail requires at least two megabytes of internal memory (also known as RAM). Microsoft
Windows is very memory-intensive, and you may want to install four megabytes of RAM to avoid future
memory shortages.
*
Hard Drive: Disk DrivesMacNail requires a hard disk of any size. We recommend a 40 megabyte
hard disk as a minimum. Choose 60 megabytes or more if possible--large hard disks are not much more expensive
than smaller ones.
*
Mouse: Although MacNail can be run completely from the keyboard, you will find that a mouse makes
all operations go much easier. It will let you take much better advantage of the friendlier 'graphic
interface' that is provided by Windows and Excel.
*
Microsoft Windows: MacNail requires that you have Microsoft Windows loaded onto your hard disk. Check
your Excel manual to see which version of Windows is required.
*
Microsoft Excel: MacNail also requires that you have a copy of Microsoft Excel loaded onto your hard
disk.
