About This Manual
Welcome to the GXWaterfall User Manual version 1.1, one of the first such manuals and probably not the last.The aim of this manual is to give the user a good working overview of GXWaterfall version 2.0 as it is in its current state rather than that of being the Zen Of GXWaterfall. That will have to wait for future versions when GXWaterfall may become a better known quantity but for the moment GXWaterfall is a brand new font tool with little in the way of documentation.On that basis should you like to comment on GXWaterfall or this documentation there is a list of contacts you can get in touch with in the Contacts section of this manual.

System Requirements
In order to run GXWaterfall version 2.0 you will need...
Minimum : Version 2.0 of the GXWaterfall font tool
A PowerPC based Macintosh
8 megabytes of system RAM
QuickdrawGX versions 1.1.2 or 1.1.3
System software version 7.5 and above
512K of free RAM for GXWaterfall itself
Preferred : As above but with 16 megabytes RAM
It is recommended that GXWaterfall be used with at least 16 megabytes of system memory especially with those systems that use some of the large non-roman fonts and which also use lots of extensions.For those users with only 8 megabytes of system memory it is advised that you turn off non-critical extensions and control panels.At present GXWaterfall is PowerPC only but a Fat version may become available.
