- GALAXY (tm) VERSION 2.2
-
- With each new version of GALAXY, we have tried to improve its speed,
- power, and ease of use. With most programs, these seem to be mutually
- exclusive qualities. We disagree. An easy to use program must be fast AND
- powerful. Good program design and logical command structures are
- responsible for ease of use, not limited features.
-
- We hope you enjoy using GALAXY Version 2.2. Here are the major changes
- from Version 1.3:
-
- Custom color installation has been added to the SETUP program.
-
- A printer pause option for single sheet feed printers has been added.
-
- GALAXY now supports the EGA 43 line mode.
-
- Column oriented blocks: Version 1.3 only allowed complete lines to be
- marked as blocks. Version 2.2 now will mark any portion of a line.
-
- Justification: Press Alt-J or choose Justify from the Preferences Menu
- and all text will be right justified automatically as you type or when
- you reformat a paragraph.
-
- Improved Wordstar compatibility: If you choose to save files in Wordstar
- format, the handling of "soft" carriage returns is now identical to
- Wordstar's.
-
- Headers and Footers: Up to three lines may be used as headers or footers.
- Dynamic page numbering can be used in either the header or the footer.
-
- Fixed or Automatic Tab stops: 1.3 only supported automatic tab stops. You
- can now specify fixed tab stops of 1 to 255 characters.
-
- Optional Ruler line: Shows current margin and tab settings.
-
- Exit to Dos: Just press Alt-S or choose DOS from the Window Menu to
- temporarily exit to DOS at any time.
-
- Zoom Windows: Split screen windows can be expanded to full screen by
- pressing Alt-Z or choosing Zoom from the Window Menu.
-
- Scrolling and screen update speed has been improved. Scrolling speed is
- now limited by the keyboard repeat rate, not the program. Try using
- KWIKKEY OR Cruise Control to speed up the cursor. GALAXY can handle it
- easily.
-
- Help screens have been revised, and there is a help screen associated
- with each pulldown menu.
-
- The File save times have been cut in half.
-
-
-
- GALAXY (tm) VERSION 2.2C
-
- The following changes have been made in Version 2.2C:
-
- 1) Repagination starts at the top of the current page.
-
- 2) The type ahead buffer is preserved in all cases
- except for error conditions.
-
- 3) The cursor operation is improved for monochrome
- ega use.
-
- 4) The file load times are faster.
-
- 5) Problems with file save have been corrected.
-
- 6) Justification of long lines has been improved.
-
- 7) More sophisticated printer error handling.
-
- 8) Better maintenance of block marks.
-
- 9) Double spacing option for printing.
-
- 10) A general speed-up of operations along with a
- smaller program size.
