Q. What is it? A. Printer's Apprentice is a font management utility for
your Windows PC. 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. What is new in version 5.9?
A. Version 5.9 is mainly a cosmetic update. A few specimen sheets
have been fine tuned for the DeskJet printers (fine tuned yet
again...) We have also been accepted into the Association of
Shareware Publishers, so new material had to be added to the
documentation.
Q. How do I install this program real quick?
A. Unzip the PA59.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)

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Q. What happens if I get a "Out of Date" error after installing the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 Thus you will receive a "out of date" error when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 (5.8 & below) version. You can delete them from
your Windows & System directories...
CCMOUSE.VBX TABBED.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.
