│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
WP Booklet System v2.40
by Alex D. Ogden
This package contains the WP Booklet System v2.40, by Alex D. Ogden.
This document contains only a brief description of the package and its
features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed
documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form,
and is more easily read after installation.
WP Booklet is a shareware program. You may use this evaluation version
of WP Booklet for up to 30 days, without charge. If you like the
program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you
are required to pay the registration fee of $15+S&H (see ORDER.FRM for
more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors,
dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their
copying and distribution services, rather than a payment for continued
use of the program.
Upon registration you receive the registered version of the program.
Added features include: support for Tri-folded brochures, automatic
handling of codes spanning the page breaks, and the ability to print
your document as a booklet without having to rebuild it first (thus
providing support for ALL WordPerfect features).

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for WP Booklet is quite simple. The
package includes a batch file, "INSTALL.BAT", which automates the
entire process. You will need about 350,000 bytes of available disk
space on the hard drive on which you plan to install WP Booklet.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
WP Booklet.
INSTALLING FROM A DISKETTE ----------------------------------------
To install from a diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
o Place the WP Booklet distribution diskette in the appropriate
diskette drive.
o Change the default drive to the diskette drive in which the WP
Booklet distribution diskette has been placed. For example, if
the distribution diskette is in drive A:, type the MS-DOS command,
"a:".
o Execute "INSTALL.BAT" on the distribution diskette by typing the
MS-DOS command, "install".
o You will have the option of installing WP Booklet using default
settings or performing a custom installation. If you choose to
perform a custom installation you will be prompted for each piece
of information needed. You will have a chance to approve
installation before anything is actually done.
o NOTE: INSTALL.BAT stores information in environment variables for
use later in the installation process. It is possible on
some systems the environment would not have enough room. If
so, the installation process will fail and you will be
instructed to make more room in your environment or to
proceed to install the files manually.
o As a part of the installation procedure the WordPerfect program
will be started and a special macro, "SETPATH.WPM", will be
activated to finish the installation process.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE --------------------------------------
If you downloaded WP Booklet from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Change the default drive and directory to the diskette drive and
temporary directory in which the WP Booklet distribution files
have been placed. For example, if the temporary directory into
which you have extracted the WP Booklet package is C:\TEMPDIR,
you would first type "c:", if you were not already on drive C,
and then execute the MS-DOS command, "cd\tempdir".
o Execute the "INSTALL.BAT" program which you have extracted by
typing the MS-DOS command, "install".
o You will have the option of installing WP Booklet using default
settings or performing a custom installation. If you choose to
perform a custom installation you will be prompted for each piece
of information needed. You will have a chance to approve
installation before anything is actually done.
o NOTE: INSTALL.BAT stores information in environment variables for
use later in the installation process. It is possible on
some systems the environment would not have enough room. If
so, the installation process will fail and you will be
instructed to make more room in your environment or to
proceed to install the files manually.
o As a part of the installation procedure the WordPerfect program
will be started and a special macro, "SETPATH.WPM", will be
activated to finish the installation process.
o When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you
should delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed WP
Booklet (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its
contents.
PERFORMING A MANUAL INSTALLATION ----------------------------------
If for some reason INSTALL.BAT will not work properly on your system,
you can install the files manually.
o Create a new subdirectory to hold the files comprising the WP
Booklet System. Assuming the path to your WordPerfect macros is
C:\WP51\MACRO\, you would execute the MS-DOS command, "md
c:\wp51\macro\wpbklt24". This will create the subdirectory
WPBKLT24 within your current macro subdirectory.
o Activate the self extracting ZIP file provided to extract the
files into the new WPBKLT24 subdirectory. Assuming the
distribution files are on a diskette in drive A type "a:\wpbklt24
c:\wp51\macro\wpbklt24". You should see the files extracted
straight into their proper place.
o To finish the manual installation invoke WordPerfect in your usual
way. At the main editing screen activate the special macro
(SETPATH.WPM) designed to tell WP Booklet where everything is
located. Assuming the path to the macros comprising the system is
C:\WP51\MACRO\WPBKLT24, to activate SETPATH press Alt-F10 and at
the "Macro: " prompt type "c:\wp51\macro\wpbklt24\setpath" and
press Enter. SETPATH.WPM will take you through the steps
necessary to specify the path to the macros and to create an
activation macro for the system. Once all is finished you will
only need to remember the name of your activation macro, not the
long path to the WP Booklet files.
YOU'RE READY TO GO ------------------------------------------------
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the
documentation file provided ("WPBKLT24.DOC"). In particular, read at
least the "Essential Steps In Using WP Booklet" section of the file.
To invoke WP Booklet, activate the macro you specified during
installation to be the activation macro. For example, if you said
"BOOKLET" would be the macro to activate WP Booklet, then at the main
editing screen of WordPerfect press Alt-F10 and at the "Macro: " prompt
type "booklet" and press Enter. If you chose an Alt-key sequence, like
"Alt-B", to activate WP Booklet, then simply press the Alt-key sequence,
in this case press and hold down the Alt key and then press "B". WP
Booklet will begin.
We hope you enjoy the program.
