- GALAXY (tm) VERSION 1.3
-
-
- Version 1.3 includes the following new features:
-
- Search speed has been increased over 1,000%! GALAXY will search
- to the end of a 100,000 byte file in less than one second on a
- standard 4.77 Mhz PC. On an AT, the search is so fast we have had
- trouble clocking it with a stopwatch! This feature has to be
- experienced to be believed. Be careful, though. Use GALAXY's
- search feature for a day and you'll be spoiled forever with any
- normal speed word processor.
-
- Scrolling speed has been improved as well. The combination of
- instantaneous search, fast scrolling, instant screen updates, and
- fast pulldown menus is highly addictive.
-
- The following table uses BYTE Magazine's standard word processing
- benchmark. OmniVerse measured the times for GALAXY Version 1.3 on
- a standard speed PC. The other times listed are as published by
- BYTE. All times are in seconds.

- Included with GALAXY now is an additional program, SETUP, which is
- a menu-driven installation program that will tailor all of the
- program's default settings to your preferences. SETUP will also
- copy the program files to your chosen disk or directory if
- desired.
-
- Help screens have been revised, and there is a help screen
- associated with each pulldown menu.
-
- There are several additional Quick commands, including Ctrl-Home
- to go to the top of the screen, and Ctrl-End to go to the bottom
- of the screen.
