THE PORTEX PERSONAL DEMONSTRATION DISK
**************************************
The Portex demonstration disk has been designed to show you the
wide range of functions the Portex system has to offer. A number
of sample files are included that can be loaded, saved and
printed. However, as this disk is for demonstration only, the
on-line help, and 80,000 word spelling checker are not included.
File loading/saving has been restricted to small files only.
The Portex software is designed to be self explanatory, but as the
Portex User Manual is not available, it is recommended that you
read this file carefully before using Portex. If you should have
any questions or technical problems whilst using Portex, then
please do not hesitate to call us on (01) 922 8821 or write to:
Portex Technical Support, SBS Ltd. 90 London Road, London SE1 6LN
INSTALLING PORTEX
This version of Portex should run correctly on all IBM PC's and
compatibles with a minimum of 256K of memory and a CGA, EGA or
Monochrome monitor and does not need to be installed.
However, if your PC does not appear to be running Portex
correctly, try using one of the "Command Line Switches" below.
More than one of these settings can be used together.
PORTEX G Monochrome display with a colour display adapter.
PORTEX GR As above with bright and dim reversed.
PORTEX A Amstrad 1512 Mono-Monitor and similar 16-grey scales.
PORTEX B Force black & white attributes although a colour
card is detected.
PORTEX C Force colour attributes to be used although a
non-graphics card is detected.
PORTEX D forces Portex to use the monochrome video hardware.
PORTEX E forces Portex to use the colour video hardware.
PRINTER SUPPORT
As we have only been able to supply a few printer drivers, we
have included the following standard drivers. One of these
standard drivers will almost certainly work with your printer.
STANDARD For standard dot matrix printers which can
print in both 10 and 17 cpi. (Fonts are
automatically selected).
STANDRD1 For 10 cpi printers. (Best suited for
continuous stationery. No fonts are selected).
STANDRD2 For use with 10 cpi daisy wheel printers.
(Best suited for sheet fed stationery. No
fonts are selected).
STANDRD3 For use with 17 cpi printers.(No fonts are
selected).
Where fonts are not automatically selected, an initialisation
string may need to be sent to select the appropriate pitch/cpi.
