WSSINDEX is a shareware program for indexing a collection of
disks. See file ORDER.FRM for registration information. Com-
plete documentation (about 80 pages long) for all programs in the
package is found in file WSSI522.DOC. Users upgrading from
previous versions should look at the file BUGLIST.DOC to see
what's been added or fixed. The public domain programs
CUTPAST3.COM and VIEW.COM which are also supplied have their own
documentation in files CUTPAST3.DOC and VIEW.DOC.
After extraction from the distribution disk(s), any files with
extension DOC (and any others except COM, EXE, WP, DEF and CNF
files) are documentation files. The recommended way of viewing
documentation is to use Vernon Buerg's LIST program. I also
provide a simple document viewing program called VIEW. You can
view the documentation for VIEW by
VIEW VIEW.DOC
Documentation files can also be viewed in several ways using DOS
commands:
1. PRINT filename (output goes to printer)
2. TYPE filename (output appears on screen, probably
too fast to read)
3. TYPE filename | MORE (output to screen, pausing when
screen fills)
4. TYPE filename >PRN (output goes to printer)
The distributed documentation files are created from Word Perfect
5.1 originals by printing to disk with the "standard printer"
driver. The resulting files are formatted for 66 lines per page,
including top and bottom margins. Other formats can be supplied
on request. Registered users receive a copy of the original Word
Perfect documentation file in addition to the formatted file.
If you use a word processor to print the DOC files, you will
probably want to tell it not to insert blanks at the beginning of
each line since this has already been done, and you may need to
adjust your margins.
If you see garbage characters on the screen (arrows, ['s and
numbers) when you try to run WSSINDEX, or if you don't see boxes
around the menus, WSSINDEX has not identified your video board.
See appendices A and B for solutions.
On a floppy disk system, a working disk should contain at least
WSSI522.EXE (probably renamed to WSSINDEX.EXE), a configuration
file, a printer definition file and any utility routines you
expect to need.
