Greetings!!!
This ARC file contains version 2.0 of the New York Word Word
Processor (NYW), released 10/86. This release provides many perfor-
mance improvements and bug fixes over version 1.2. See the document
called UPDATE.DOC for more information about the revisions.
You can install the word processor by putting the NYWord
distribution disk in drive A and typing A:INSTALL. The INSTALL batch
file contains instructions to create several subdirectories and to
dearchive the NYWord files. Among the subdirectories it creates are
\NYW and \NYW\HELP. The word processor will first look in the
\NYW\HELP subdirectory when you press the <HELP> key.
/********************************************************************/
* IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT *
* --------------------------------------------------------------- *
* If you are currently using NYW, you must replace your old *
* WPDEFAUL file with the current version. The word processor won't *
* work otherwise. Also, using the old version of NYWord, save any *
* files which are in the special internal format in ASCII (use the *
* 'a' option when you exit NYWord. *
/********************************************************************/
The NYWord manual has been revised, and is 100 pages long. The
manual is available to all registered users. Registration not only
gets you the printed manual, but other utilities for NYWord, including
the mail merge program, a multi-column utility, and various other
sundries. Registered users also have the opportunity to drive me crazy
on the phone.
NYWord has been doing very well since being distributed by PC-SIG
and PC-BLUE. For some strange reason, many lawyers have become
registered users, and NYWord seems to be very popular in the legal
profession. NYWord also received a nice mention from BYTE magazine in
their October 1986 issue on PD software.
I have also enclosed some information about our ME text editor.
Call me if you have any questions.
Enjoy the package!!!
