ASGARD SOFTWARE IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE FIRST DRAFT, BY ART GIBSON.
TI users use their computers for word processing more than anything
else. Asgard Software is proud to have, over the years, helped in
making 99/4A word processing easier and more capable. Our Spell It! is
the standard by which all other 99/4A spelling checkers is measured,
and Screen Preview has helped many users see what they have written
before they print it.
Now, for the first time, we have combined all of the useful utilities
and nice features found in all of the TI-Writer compatible programs,
plus a few seen in no other, into one advanced program. Written
entirely from scratch, First Draft brings word processing for the
99/4A and the Geneve into the 90's.
The TI-Writer compatible program allows you to create documents as
large as your available disk space in either 40 or 80 columns. While
writing you can spell-check a specific word or the entire document.
Use the pull-down menus to access a wide array of commands for
everything from merging documents to managing your disks (even add
DISKU comments to your files). Use the advanced formatter to print out
multi-column documents with Page Pro 99 pictures. Take advantage of
all of your printers features by just selecting it from the list of
"Printer Drivers".
While the list of features goes on and on - some highlights of First
Draft:
* The program may be fully customized
* A 25,000 word spelling checker is included. Users can add
their own words to it, as well as take advantage of the Spell
It! 200,000 word hard-disk dictionary
* Both 40- and 80-column versions are included. The 80-column
version is compatible with TIM, Dijit, Mechatronics and the
Geneve
* First Draft will load and save files in TI-Writer as well as
First Draft's own format
* You can create, edit and print documents as large as your
available disk space
* It includes a built-in disk manager accessible from the Editor
that allows you to delete and rename files, format a disk, add
comments to files, etc.
* All functions of First Draft are available from "pull-down"
style menus - no command line commands to remember
* Most key commands are the same as the ones in TI-Writer
* Files may be easily merged together or split apart
* Create and edit parallel columns within the editor, and
newspaper-style columns within the formatter
* The Final Copy formatter features over 20 new commands that
allow you to include Page Pro 99 pictures on your pages, use
multi-line headers and footers, and much more
* Built-in printer drivers mean that you never have to remember
the special codes your printer uses again, and documents will
print the same way on different printers. First Draft includes
a selection for the most popular printers and allows you to
easily create your own
* You can preview your pages on the screen prior to printing
them
First Draft is also compatible with Horizon RAM-disks, the Asgard AMS
card, most other RAM-disks and the Myarc HFDC. It will function within
the Funnelweb environment.
The program requires at minimum a TI-99/4A with a DS/SD (180K) floppy
drive and controller and 32K. An RS232 and printer are highly
recommended.
From First Draft to Final Copy, no other word processor for the 99/4A
comes close.
