About The Program
=================
1. This is a heavy duty Word Processing Program intended for
a wide variety of word processing and editing tasks. As
installed, it is ideal for the touch typist - there is no
need to take your hands off the home row to activate any
of the functions.
2. The novice should have no difficulty in using the
program - the program is easy to learn, since it comes
with context sensitive help available at the press of the
F1 key. There is also a tutorial on the program disk,
for novice users to try out the various functions.
3. The program comes supplied with industry standard Pull
Down Menus to make learning it even easier. The point
and select usage means that touch typists do not need to
lift their hands from the home row. In addition, each
command on the pull down menu can optionally display the
command sequence needed to activate it, so novices can
learn the commands. The pull down menu is activated by
the F10 key.
4. The keyboard commands are fully configurable from an
installation program. Many of the options are also
configurable from inside the program. As supplied, it
comes installed with a WordstarTM compatible interface,
which is the industry standard for editor programs.
Experienced users do not need to use the pull down
menues, since all functions of the menu are also
available at the press of one or two keys.
5. The word processor document files are ascii text files,
which means that there are no funny embedded characters
(unless you use the print control sequences) and no hi
order bits set on. The files are WordstarTM compatible,
which means that you can load them into any wordprocessor
that reads Wordstar files. Apart from printer control
strings, all formatting commands are by use of dot
commands (. in column one) or embedded functions ({. })
in the text body.
6. There are up to 8 editing windows, which can look at
different files or the same file. These files can be
loaded from the parameter line. Any window can be zoomed
to occupy the entire screen.
7. Printer support includes laser printers. It is easy to
customize the printer drivers, and different ones can be
selected from a pick list at print time. Printing also
occurs in background, letting you go on with other word
processing tasks.
8. The program comes with a 100,000 word dictionary
(registered users only) and an update program that will
add or delete words from the dictionary. Non registered
users receive a smaller 30,000 word dictionary that is
quite sufficient for them to evaluate the program. In
addition to the main dictionary, you can set up
auxilliary dictionaries in each directory, containing
words specific to particular projects.
9. The program can generate indexes and tables of contents.
10. The program comes with macro facilities, the ability to
record keystrokes, and a number of macro files for
additional flexability. In addition, macros can be
invoked at program startup from the parameter line.
11. Printing, index and table of contents generation can
include other files, which can in turn include other
files, up to 5 levels of nesting. This means that even
the biggest novel or research paper can be easily
managed.
12. Automatic reformatting of text is available.
13. Newspaper style columns are supported, as is word wrap
and justification of each column independently. Column
mode blocks can be defined and copied, moved or deleted.
14. Comprehensive monitor support - MONO, CGA, EGA or VGA or
HERCULES.
15. DOS shell is supplied to permit use of all DOS commands
from within the program.
16. A pop up calculator with 16 functions is included. The
calculation result can be pasted into your text.
17. The program comes with support for box and line drawing,
with these characters available at the press of a key.
Load the macro files SINGLE.MAC for single lines and
DOUBLE.MAC for double lines. Aditional macro files
contain European and Greek characters.
18. Optional on screen display of fonts is also available.
You can edit text with this mode operating (unlike
wordstar).
19. Printing can have multiple headers and footers, and these
can include functions such as current date or time.
These functions are also available within the text body.
20. Comprehensive text formatting is available and can be
stored in the text as ruler lines. There is no limit on
the number of ruler lines you can have. There is even a
file of standard ruler lines that can be automatically
included into your text. You can add other lines to this
file should you so desire.
21. Mouse support.
22. Automatic save feature after number of minutes or number
of keystrokes (can be disabled)
23. Full featured mail merge facility that includes
mathematic calculations, conditional merging using IF
ELSE constructs and so on.
24. File names can have up to 65 character descriptions added
to them, in order to make recognition of files easier.
These descriptions are displayed when files are listed,
and can be altered at the press of a key. In addition, a
utility (FI) is supplied to display and change file
descriptions from the dos prompt. It acts like a
replacement of the DOS DIR command.
20. Hundreds of other sophisticated features like insertion
of current date or time (in different formats), the
ability to mark changed text in the left hand margin,
offset page number on odd or even pages and so on.
21. The installed command make it perfect for Lap tops, while
the cursor can be changed to a hard block of color where
it is ordinarily hard to see.
Hardware Requirements : IBM compatible computer. 256k RAM,
H-Disk CGA, EGA or VGA monitor.
