- Greetings!!!
-
- This ARC file contains version 2.0 of the New York Word Word
- Processor (NYW), released 10/86. This release provides many perfor-
- mance improvements and bug fixes over version 1.2. See the document
- called UPDATE.DOC for more information about the revisions.
-
- You can install the word processor by putting the NYWord
- distribution disk in drive A and typing A:INSTALL. The INSTALL batch
- file contains instructions to create several subdirectories and to
- dearchive the NYWord files. Among the subdirectories it creates are
- \NYW and \NYW\HELP. The word processor will first look in the
- \NYW\HELP subdirectory when you press the <HELP> key.

- * IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT *
- * --------------------------------------------------------------- *
- * If you are currently using NYW, you must replace your old *
- * WPDEFAUL file with the current version. The word processor won't *
- * work otherwise. Also, using the old version of NYWord, save any *
- * files which are in the special internal format in ASCII (use the *
- * 'a' option when you exit NYWord. *

- The NYWord manual has been revised, and is 100 pages long. The
- manual is available to all registered users. Registration not only
- gets you the printed manual, but other utilities for NYWord, including
- the mail merge program, a multi-column utility, and various other
- sundries. Registered users also have the opportunity to drive me crazy
- on the phone.
-
- NYWord has been doing very well since being distributed by PC-SIG
- and PC-BLUE. For some strange reason, many lawyers have become
- registered users, and NYWord seems to be very popular in the legal
- profession. NYWord also received a nice mention from BYTE magazine in
- their October 1986 issue on PD software.
-
- I have also enclosed some information about our ME text editor.
- Call me if you have any questions.
-
- Enjoy the package!!!
