.ix Running under
DesqView Users
Word Fugue runs under DesqView from Quarterdeck systems. When
setting up the application definition under DesqView, you should:
■ Give Word Fugue a minimum of 350K in which to run. Allow more if
you can, up to the maximum available. The more memory you have,
the less likely you are to run into problems (ie run out of
memory) while using Word Fugue. Editing, spell checking,
generating tables of contents, printing and so on all take
working memory.
■ If you have QEMM or QRAM giving you Expanded memory (ie LIM
standard memory), allow at least 180K for loading the overlay
file, which will speed up operations.
■ Check the box "Writes directly to the Screen"
.ix Virtualize
If you do not have a 386 machine, you will not be able to
"virtualize" the screen (ie run in a small window) unless you
include the run time parameter /G to cause Word Fugue to use Bios
for all screen IO. It will be somewhat slower, but you will be able
to virtualize the program. (You can then type N for "Writes directly
to the Screen").
Those of you who have a 386 machine, DesqView can virtualize Word
Fugue without needing to resort to any parameters.{.╬}
{.╬}
A sample Word Fugue pif file has been included WF-PIF.DVP that
starts the program from the directory C:\WF. You should copy this
into your DesqView directory, and give it a try. Your setup may be
differnet from ours, so you may want to modify the PIF before you
run it.

.IMWindows
.ix Running under
Word Fugue works well with all of Window's modes (Real, Standard &
386 Enhanced). With Real mode, you will need to ensure that there is
sufficient memory available to run the program. You need a minimum
of 350k available (you may be able to get away with less, but you
will find that some features such as index & table of contents
generation will not work), but obviously 500k is better.
.ix Icons
We have provided 2 Windows 3.0 PIFs file (WF.PIF & WF-G.PIF) and two
Windows 3.0 icons - WF.ICO (for colour displays) and WF-MONO.PIF
(for monochrome displays).
If you are running Windows 3.0 in Real or Standard modes, you should
use the Word Fugue startup parameter /G . If you don't, Windows may
hang if you switch away from and then return to a Word Fugue Window.
If you are running Windows in 386 enhanced mode, there is no problem
- you do not need the /G option. However, if you change Windows
modes, we recommend that you use the /G parameter, so that Word
Fugue will operate correctly in all modes.
.CP5

the /G parameter) supplied.
■ Click on the Main window

■ Enter "Word Fugue" for the description
■ Enter the full pathname for the WF.PIF file for the command
