PLEASE don't overlook the information that follows about the Arts & Letters ALLETTER.INI file. A Few Words About Performance Arts & Letters DRAW can be run from the CD or installed to your fixed-disk drive. drive. We recommend that you install DRAW if you have the fixed-disk space (approximately 28 MB) as the relatively slow access time of CD-ROM drives will have a dramatic impact on performance. The Guided Tour of Arts & Letters EXPRESS runs primarily from the CD-ROM. The program and indexes are installed on your fixed-disk drive but all of the files and clip-art images are retrieved from the CD-ROM. The performance of EXPRESS will be affected by the relatively slow access speed of CD-ROM drives. The retail version of EXPRESS allows you to install selected files and images that you use frequently on your fixed-disk drive thereby improving performance while accessing the remainder of the files from the CD-ROM on an as needed basis. IMPORTANT: If you already have a version of Arts & Letters EXPRESS installed on your system, do NOT install the Test Drive version as it may overwrite your working copy of EXPRESS.

The ALLETTER.INI file is located in your Windows directory with a backup copy in your WarBirds directory. It is not necessary to make any adjustments to the .INI file unless you wish to customize the installation of DRAW. Use Notepad to open the Alletter.ini in your Windows directory to make any changes to the [Draw] section of the Alletter.ini file. [Draw] This line is the heading. It identifies which product the following lines are used for. Each new product will have its own heading in the ALLETTER.INI file. DinoDraw=C:\DRAW This line is used by the installation program to identify where the main program files are to be located. When updating or reinstalling DRAW, this entry identifies the default path and directory. BackupPath=C:\DRAW If "Make Backup" is selected in the SAVE, or SAVE AS dialog boxes, the directory specified above is where the backup files are saved. The file extensions are automatically renamed to .BAK instead of .GED so that they may be placed in the same directory as the .GED files. Symbols=C:\DRAW\SYMBOLS This line points to the directory in which SINDEX.ALL and any available SLIBxx.ALL files are located. Typefaces=C:\DRAW\TYPEFACE This line points to the directory where Arts & Letters typefaces (SFONTxx.ALL) are installed. Config=C:\DRAW\STARTUP.DEF This line defines which file EXPRESS is to load as the default. The file name and even the suffix (.def) are arbitrary and can be changed as long as the file is specified in the above line. The directory can be anywhere on your system. The file that is loaded determines internal paths and settings. The on-line Help and the printable User's Guide contains details for how to change and save the default settings. Libraries=2 Library1=C:\DRAW\CUSTOM6\*.yal Library2=C:\DRAW\CUSTOM6\aircraft.yal This section relates to the Clip-Art Manager. The first line specifies how many of the library entries (described on successive lines) should be loaded into the Clip-Art Manager. Each line that follows can point to any location and load a specific file or all files in a directory by using standard wildcard conventions. The last line in this list tells the Clip-Art Manager which library to highlight as the default library when the Clip-Art Manager is displayed for the first time. Activities=2 Activity1=C:\DRAW\D_ACT\*.yal Activity2=C:\DRAW\D_ACT\COMPOSE.yal This section is identical in purpose and operation to the previous section except that it refers to the Activity Manager. Alternate symbols=D:\DRAW\SYMBOLS This line points to the alternate location where SLIBxx.ALL files may be found to supplement the original SYMBOLS= line. Unless all of the symbol data is installed on your local fixed-disk drive, DRAW will also look for symbol data in the alternate location specified, generally a CD-ROM drive or a network drive. Alternate typefaces=D:\DRAW\TYPEFACE This line points to the alternate location where SFONTxx.ALL files may be found to supplement the original TYPEFACES= line. Unless all of the typefaces are installed on your local fixed-disk drive, DRAW will also look for typeface data in the alternate location specified, generally a CD-ROM drive or a network drive. DemoPath=D:\ARTSHOW This line is used by the on-line Help system to find multimedia applications related to each specific product. ArtShow=D:\ARTSHOW This line points to the directory on the CD-ROM that contains the EXPRESS Art Show. If the path is left blank after the "=", the menu item is disabled. If the line is omitted, a default path is assumed. Database= This line points to the directory which stores multimedia applications that work with the Database menu in the Arts & Letters DRAW series of applications. If this line is omitted, a default path is assumed. Index=SINDEX.ALL Lib=SLIB Font=SFONT These features are not implemented in this release. ShowDuplicateYALs=0 This line controls how the Clip-Art Manager and Activity Manager load and list YAL files with duplicate library names. If this line is omitted, a default of "0" is assumed and the program will NOT list YAL files that have duplicate library names. If this line is present and has a value of "1" the program will list all entries. This feature is designed to accommodate installations where .YAL files may be stored on your local drive and on a CD-ROM or network disk drive. The program loads each library and compares it with all other libraries. If it finds a duplicate, it lists the library with the most recent date stamp and ignores the others. PSDriver=0 This line controls how DRAW handles printing to a Postscript Device. If this line is omitted, the program assumes a default of "0" and tries to supplement the printer driver with Arts & Letters specific features. If this line is present and has a value of "1" the program does not supplement the driver. This can be used as a correction for some PostScript printing problems but it limits the program in several ways. PostScript separations are turned off (which affects Screen angle settings, UCR for TIFFs etc.), and color output goes through Windows RGB color values instead of our CMYK color values which may cause color matching problems. This option is still under development and may be enhanced in the future. MRUFile1=C:\DRAW\FLOWER.GED MRUFile2=C:\DRAW\ANYFILE.GED MRUDef1=C:\DRAW\STARTUP.DEF MRUStyle1=C:\DRAW\STYLE1.STY MRUPal1=C:\DRAW\PALETTES\CHROMA.PAL This section lists the Most Recently Used of several Arts & Letters file types. It can list as many as four files for each type (FileN=DRAW files, DefN=Default files, PalN=Palette files, StyleN=Style files). If these lines are omitted, the program will use internal defaults. Turning Off the Opening Sound File To turn off the opening sound when starting Arts & Letters DRAW, you must modify a line in the Alletter.ini following installation. Use Notepad to open the Alletter.ini in your Windows directory and remove everything after the "=" sign: "MMSplashWave=X:\DRAW\WAVE\Draw.wav" where X is the designation of your CD-ROM drive. Do not delete or change any other portion of the line. TECHNICAL SUPPORT If you have any questions, see the on-line Help or contact one of the distributors listed below.
