NOTE TO BBS OPERATORS
---------------------
If you are a BBS operator, please review the "EnVision Publisher Disk
Contents" section below to ensure that you have all the files.
Please post EnVision Publisher with the following keywords:
ENVISION PUBLISHING DTP TYPESETTING LAYOUT PRINT FONT SHAREWARE ASP
We recommend that you archive all the files on disk 1 (see below) in a
file called EVP200A.*, and all the files on disk 2 (see below) in a file
called EVP200B.*, where the "*" stands for (ZIP, ARC, LZH, EXE, etc.).
However, before you do this you should expand the two self-extracting
files EVP200A.* and EVP200B.* described below (please note that the
BBS EVP200A and EVP200B files are not the same as the vendor EVP200A.EXE
and EVP200B.EXE described in the "EnVision Publisher Disk Contents" below,
because that the BBS files contain all the vendor files, including the
INSTALL and the READ-ME files.)
............................................................................
NOTE TO CD-ROM VENDORS
----------------------
If you wish to put EnVision Publisher on a CD-ROM in uncompressed format so
that the user can run it from the CD-ROM drive, you will have to modify the
file EVP2.INI to tell EnVision to create its temporary swap files to a
writeable hard drive (usually drive C:). Please see file EVP2.INI for
information on how to do this. Make sure that you test the program by
opening an existing document and adding new pages to ensure that your
specified path works properly.

What reviewers have said about EnVision Publisher

"If you're looking to assemble a newsletter, publication, or

for the task. You'd do well to give EnVision Publisher a spin."
Preston Gralla
COMPUTER SHOPPER, April 1993 issue.
"EnVision Publisher is a real desktop publishing system, not a toy."
Hardin Brothers
DOS Resource Guide, March 1994 issue.
"This is an excellent program that's full of features that simply
haven't been available in Shareware until now. Because of the
programs' excellence, I'm giving it the Shareware Magazine
Editor's Choice Award."
Michael E. Callahan (a.k.a. Dr. File Finder)
SHAREWARE MAGAZINE, Nov/Dec 1992 issue
"There are few layouts that you could not create with EnVision
Publisher. One way or another, this program gives you the tools
to place text and graphics anywhere on your page with all the
styling options most of us will ever need, and that's what
desktop publishing is all about."
Steven Enzer
SHAREWARE UPDATE MAGAZINE, October 1992 issue.
In 1993 EnVision Publisher also received three prestigious SIA
(Shareware Industry Awards):
