This archive contains an MS-DOS program called "Personal Harmonograph
Simulator" or PHS.  It is freeware and it will work under Windows.  It
simulates a museum harmonograph, creating pretty circular patterns that you
can control and print.

The files that should be in the archive are:

  FILE_ID.DIZ     Short description of PHS.
  PHS.EXE         The Personal Harmonograph Simulator program.
  PHS.INI         The PHS initialization file.
  PRINTER.INI     The printer initialization file.
  PRINTER.TXT     Instructions on setting up PHS to work with your printer.
  README.TXT      This file.
  *.HLP           Text files used by PHS help.

To install, first unzip the files in this archive to an empty directory.  To
run PHS, enter the directory the files are in and run the file "phs.exe".  In
DOS, just type in "phs" at the DOS prompt.  In Windows, the easiest way to
run PHS is with Windows Explorer, by double clicking on the file "phs.exe".

This program requires a 286 or higher processor, a mouse, and an EGA or VGA
display.  A math coprocessor will make PHS run much faster.  To force EGA
mode, type "phs ega" at the DOS prompt.

To set up PHS to work with your graphics printer, read the file
"PRINTER.TXT".
