echo Thank you for trying Font Pak -- your programmers' font, mouse shape,
echo icon and line-draw system for use in TEXT -or- GRAPHICS modes. We
echo hope you find Font Pak as useful in your work as we have in our own.
echo
echo To INSTALL Font Pak: : :
echo ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
echo a. This batch file explains the basics on how to install Font Pak.
echo Please read INSTALL.DOC for other important details!
echo
echo b. To install Font Pak:
echo
echo Hard disk users: Create a Font Pak directory (e.g., md fp).
echo 360k floppy users: Have ready 3 blank, formatted disks.
echo 1.2m or 1.44m floppy: Have ready 1 blank, formatted disk.
echo
echo c. Now, LOG ON TO the directory or blank disk where you want FP installed.
echo
pause
cls
echo Font Pak has several "groups" of files. Each "group" is in a
echo "self extracting" file. When you run "self extracting" files, they
echo unpack themselves, saving 1 or more files to the path you're on.
echo
echo run Programs.Exe to unpack Demo.Exe, our font editor, etc. (120k)
echo " Manual.Exe " " FontPak.Doc, your manual (260k)
echo " Fonts.Exe " " the font files ( ? )
echo " Everyone.Exe " " support files for ALL languages ( 40k)
echo " Pascal.Exe " " demo and support files for Pascal ( 55k)
echo " C.Exe " " demo and support files for C ( 50k)
echo " Basic.Exe " " demo and support files for BASIC ( 50k)
echo
echo The numbers on the right show you may need up to 800k to install Font Pak.
echo
echo Once you install Font Pak, please do 3 things:
echo 1. Read Install.Doc. Although you may have already installed Font Pak,
echo Install.Doc describes important details about using Font Pak with your
echo programming language.
echo
echo 2. Run Demo.Exe. Then run the "demo" programs. Doing both of these will
echo help you "see for yourself" what you can do with Font Pak, and how easy
echo it is. If you use C or BASIC, you may have to compile the demos, or
echo create "quick libraries" to run demo programs in QC, QB, QBX, etc.
pause
cls
echo
echo 3. Run Try_Font.Exe (note the underscore "_").
echo
echo REGISTERED VERSIONS include about 100 fonts, including many line-draw
echo sets. It is unlikely you will need (or want) all fonts. Run Try_Font
echo and "try out" each font file. Write down the names of the fonts you
echo will never use, then later delete or "archive" them. Delete unneeded
echo fonts to reduce the clutter on your disk.
echo
echo When you run Try_Font, you'll see a MENU listing all font files
echo (actually, all files with extensions beginning with ".F..").
echo
echo - Highlight font names and press [enter] to try them.
echo
echo - NOTICE how "partial fonts" can be loaded: 2 or more at once.
echo For example, re-map keyboard characters. Then, by loading a
echo different "partial font," re-map the line-draw characters.
echo
echo - Write down the names of fonts you like. You can later modify
echo the demo source code to try out these fonts.
echo
pause
cls
reset
echo
echo Remember, to install Font Pak, just run several **SELF EXTRACTING** files:
echo
echo Programs.Exe to unpack our font editor, Try_Font, etc.
echo Fonts.Exe " " the font files (change 360k disks)
echo Manual.Exe " " FontPak.Doc, your manual (change 360k disks)
echo Everyone.Exe " " support files for ALL languages
echo Pascal.Exe " " Pascal demo programs
echo C.Exe " " C demo programs
echo Basic.Exe " " BASIC demo programs
echo
echo Be sure to:
echo ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
echo 1. Run Demo.Exe and the "demo..." programs for your language.
echo
echo 2. Read Install.Doc.
echo
echo 3. Read the manual, especially the sections "Font Fundamentals"
echo and "Command Reference."
