- This Manuscript is meant to exercise most of the features of Scribble
- and Crayon to aid you in testing Scribbles and Crayons that you
- develop.

- August 13, 1981. [BAD]
-
- Modified to remove some bugs in the formatting commands, generally
- cleaned up the contents. Added some extra text so that Scribble and
- Crayon problems I am aware of will be pointed up. September 5, 1981. [BAD]
-
- Much of the text was rearranged to more closely match the order of
- certain sections of the new (1.3) Scribble manual. Several new
- commands were added to the text. September 6, 1981. [BAD]

- prefacesection(Usage)Once you get Scribble and Crayon configured to
- work with your printer(s) run this manuscript thru Scribble/Crayon
- (once for each printer type you have defined). Undoubtedly there will
- be botches. Hopefully all of the botches will be due to improper
- specifications in the CONFIG.DAT file. Once you get things working
- right with this file, put a copy of each of the CORRECT outputs you
- have created in a (safe) and handy place for future reference. This
- will constitute the standard of comparison for the new
- Scribbles/Crayons you will produce and submit to AUG. Hopefully all
- future submissions for Scribble/Crayon extensions will be able to
- format this manuscript as flawlessly (?) as the factory version(s).
-
- As you produce new environments, features and facilities, put tests of
- them in this manuscript and try running it thru your new system. This
- will give you a resonably effective test to see if your new features
- work, and if they inadvertently gronk any other ones.
-
- This file is long for a reason: short files are not likely to exercise
- Scribble or Crayon too hard. Weird things can often happen on the 25th
- page (only if it's the second page of the index) that you would never
- catch until you ran that all-important document off (and distributed
- 100 copies of it, before catching it). If you exercise all of the new
- and old features at once (or at least most of them) you are more
- likely to spot those bizarre 'interaction type' bugs while you are
- still programming, and before you start trying to use the system.
-
- This manuscript can also help you set up the CONFIG.DAT
- file properly for your printers. I didn't get the paper size for my
- printer just right until after I had been using Scribble/Crayon for
- over four months.

- \You may have trouble formatting this Manuscript with your
- Scribble, since I use a 64K system, and I have made extensive use of
- the features of Scribble that require lots of memory. It is possible
- that you will not be able to use this manuscript if you have 56K, and
- almost certain if you only have 48K. In Versions of Scribble 1.3 (and
- later, I presume) you can specify how much space to reserve for end
- stuff. This feature may well save you. This manuscript uses about 4400
- bytes for the largest page and 2900 bytes for the end space when
- formatted for a vanilla device.

- \Maybe indented some more, maybe not.
- \In the official Scribbles and Crayons this sentence is NOT indented

- appendixsection(General)
- The Amethyst Users Group (AUG) is run solely to disseminate
- information on the Amethyst package, and on systems and environments
- in which that package may be run. The AUG is in no way affiliated with
- Mark of the Unicorn, the originators of the Amethyst package, however,
- Mark of the Unicorn retains a membership in the AUG so that hopefully
- nobody is groping in the dark, so to speak. Any charges levied by the
- AUG are accurate reflections, to the fullest extent possible, of the
- costs incurred in the generation of the service provided. The AUG does
- not and is not operated in order to make a profit, however the AUG is
- b(not) a non-profit organization, since the term 'non-profit
- organization' has specific legal meaning, and the AUG has not
- qualified for this label and status. Therefore, donations to, and
- index(not tax exempt)

- Persons who inquire about the users group will get one free copy of

- don't touch-type, and I'll be sorely tempted to edit it to death.
-
- Appendix(Bug Policy) While the Amethyst Users Group is an acceptable
- forum for bug reports, I am certain that Mark of the Unicorn would
- prefer that glaring errors in Amethyst be reported to them also,
- rather than reading about them in the Amethyst Users Group newsletter
- index(newsletter) first. Reporting the bug to Mark of the Unicorn
- gets it fixed faster. Reporting the bug to Amethyst Users Group helps
- the rest of us avoid situations that invoke the bug. So report bugs to
- Mark of the Unicorn and Amethyst Users Group, or if you only have one
- stamp, send it to Mark of the Unicorn, since they'll see that it gets
- fixed, while I can't. I admit that I have been negligent on this count
- once or twice, and I vow to abide by my own policy in the future.
