- Q. What is it?
- A. Printer's Apprentice is a font management utility for the Windows
- 3.1 operating environment. It helps you manage all your TrueType
- and Adobe Type 1 fonts by printing inventory sheets (4 flavors!),
- ANSI charts, keyboard layouts, and specimen sheets. It was noted
- as the *BEST* Windows font utility by PC Magazine (10/27/92) and
- features one of the sharpest interfaces around.
-
- Q. How do I install this program real quick?
- A. Unzip the PRNAP58.ZIP to a new diskette or directory and run
- INSTALL.EXE. This will decompress the files and copy them
- to the right places on your hard drive.
-
- Q. How does the program modify your system?
- A. The Printer's Apprentice setup program will copy several files
- to your computer.
-
- Copied to \windows\system
- -------------------------
- dyspydll.dll subclassing control dll (DesaWare)
- cbk.vbx callback control (DesaWare)
- cmdialog.vbx common dialog contro (Microsoft)
- grid.vbx grid control (Microsoft)
- keystat.vbx keyboard control (Microsoft)
- sbceasy.vbx subclassing control (DesaWare)
- ss3d2.vbx 3D Effects (Sheridan)
- tabbed.vbx tabbed dialog control (LYM)
- threed.vbx 3D Effects (Microsoft)
- ssformfx.vbx Even more 3D effects (Sheridan)
-
- Copied to \pa
- -------------
- pa.exe Printer's Apprentice (LYM)
- pacp.exe Printer's Apprentice (LYM)
- *.bmp Various bmp files, needed by PA!
- pa.ini initialization file for PA
- readme.txt readme file!
- pa.hlp Printer's Apprentice help file
-
- Note: Proper version control is used by the installation program!
- The installation program will prompt you before writing over
- files that already exist!
-
- Q. What happens if I get a "Out of Date" error after installing the
- software??
- A. Every attempt has been made to distribute the latest versions of
- the VBX & DLL support files. However, making sure the correct version
- is on your machine can be a pain. Some shareware (and commercial!!)
- vendors do not use reliable SETUP.EXE and INSTALL.EXE programs. These
- programs may overwrite a support file or place the wrong date stamp
- on a copied file. Thus you will receive a "out of date" error when
- you try to run Printer's Apprentice. If you get this error, the fix
- is easy.
-
- 1) Search your ENTIRE hard drive for the offending file. 2)
- Delete ALL copies of this file. You may be surprised at how many
- duplicate VBX files you have creeping around on your hard drive.
- 3) Restart Windows. 4) Reinstall Printer's Apprentice. This
- should fix everything for you.
-
- Q. I noticed this version uses different VBX files? Can I delete VBX
- files
- from your old versions that are no longer used??
- A. I have really, really tried to reduce the number of third-party add
- on files used by Printer's Apprentice. Listed below are VBX's that
- where used by prior (5.6 & below) version. You can delete them from
- your Windows & System directories...
-
- CCMOUSE.VBX
- 3DLABEL.VBX
- PICCLIP.VBX
-
- NOTE: These files may be used by other shareware programs on your
- computer. Check your documentation for more information.
-
- Q. How do I remove the program if I need more space on my machine?
- A. There is a file named INSTALL.LOG located in the PA directory. This
- lists out *every* file and program manager group added to your system.
- Note: Some other vendors may use some VBX files on your system.
- THREED.VBX is a VERY popular file!!
-
- Q. What happened to the documentation file?
- A. Everything has been placed in a Windows help file. Just click
- the Help menu item or the question mark icons...
-
- Q. How do I purchase this program?
- A. We can only take orders with personal checks. Do *NOT* send cash,
- even if you are in another country. For foreign orders, please use
- a postal money order or a bank check drawn on US dollars. Pricing
- is as follows.
-

- 1 copy of Printer's Apprentice $20
-
- Canadian, Foreign orders, Europe, the world outside of the US

-
- CompuServe users can register via the SWREG forum! GO SWREG for
- more information.
-
- Q. What is the upgrade policy?
- A. When you register, I will send you a code and a certificate. Upon
- release of major upgrades, I will notify you with a post card. The
- cost of duplication and mailing has gotten out of hand, so upgrades
- will cost a nominal $5 if you need a new diskette. Or you can wait to
- find the program on a local BBS. The codeword will always work for
- future editions.
-
- Q. Anything else?
- A. Yes! I am always open to suggestions! This software is made for
- anyone who cares about type. Designers, DTPers, layout artists,
- print shops, publishers, etc, this sofware is for you. If you have
- any suggestions, spec sheet ideas, interface notes, let me know.
- 7522636f the improvements in this release came from users. This
- is your program! It is easiest to reach me at home, after 7pm EST.
