- .ix Running under
- DesqView Users
-
- Word Fugue runs under DesqView from Quarterdeck systems. When
- setting up the application definition under DesqView, you should:
-
- ˛ Give Word Fugue a minimum of 350K in which to run. Allow more if
- you can, up to the maximum available. The more memory you have,
- the less likely you are to run into problems (ie run out of
- memory) while using Word Fugue. Editing, spell checking,
- generating tables of contents, printing and so on all take
- working memory.
-
- ˛ If you have QEMM or QRAM giving you Expanded memory (ie LIM
- standard memory), allow at least 180K for loading the overlay
- file, which will speed up operations.
-
- ˛ Check the box "Writes directly to the Screen"
-
- .ix Virtualize
- If you do not have a 386 machine, you will not be able to
- "virtualize" the screen (ie run in a small window) unless you
- include the run time parameter /G to cause Word Fugue to use Bios
- for all screen IO. It will be somewhat slower, but you will be able
- to virtualize the program. (You can then type N for "Writes directly
- to the Screen").
-
- Those of you who have a 386 machine, DesqView can virtualize Word
- Fugue without needing to resort to any parameters.{.Œ}
- {.Œ}
- A sample Word Fugue pif file has been included WF-PIF.DVP that
- starts the program from the directory C:\WF. You should copy this
- into your DesqView directory, and give it a try. Your setup may be
- differnet from ours, so you may want to modify the PIF before you
- run it.

- .ix Running under
-
- Word Fugue works well with all of Window's modes (Real, Standard &
- 386 Enhanced). With Real mode, you will need to ensure that there is
- sufficient memory available to run the program. You need a minimum
- of 350k available (you may be able to get away with less, but you
- will find that some features such as index & table of contents
- generation will not work), but obviously 500k is better.
-
- .ix Icons
- We have provided 2 Windows 3.0 PIFs file (WF.PIF & WF-G.PIF) and two
- Windows 3.0 icons - WF.ICO (for colour displays) and WF-MONO.PIF
- (for monochrome displays).
-
- If you are running Windows 3.0 in Real or Standard modes, you should
- use the Word Fugue startup parameter /G . If you don't, Windows may
- hang if you switch away from and then return to a Word Fugue Window.
- If you are running Windows in 386 enhanced mode, there is no problem
- - you do not need the /G option. However, if you change Windows
- modes, we recommend that you use the /G parameter, so that Word
- Fugue will operate correctly in all modes.
-
- .CP5

-
- ˛ Click on the Main window
- ˛ Select New from the File menu in the program manager
- ˛ Enter "Word Fugue" for the description
