This is APDC Disk # 023: Word Processing and Databasing
----------------------------------------------------------------
All programs on this disk have been fully tested under WorkBench 1.2
Some programs may not work under WorkBench (Kickstart) 1.1
Word Processing
----------------
Microemacs Word Processor
This disk features an Emacs editor customized for word processing.
To run this program double click on the MicroEMACS icon. This
program features both mouse and keyboard interface. Check the file
Microemacs.DOC for help. In particular see the section towards the
end on special Amiga features where the mouse button functions are
described.
QUICK EMACS USE HINTS
* Move the cursor within a text file with the LEFT mouse button.
* Set a mark with the RIGHT mouse button. Once a region is bounded
by two marks you may CUT, COPY and PASTE.
* To delete a whole line type CTRL^K (hold down the control key
while you press the K key).
* Hold down the SHIFT key to use arrow keys to move around your text
file quickly.
See the file Microemacs.DOC for full instructions.
Spell Checkers
There are two spell checkers on this disk. These are
X-Spell
IMPORTANT! X-Spell and the Dictionary must be moved into your
current C directory. This is the directory on your WorkBench disk
where the AmigaDOS commands are kept. X-Spell will crash the Amiga
if both these files are not in the current C directory.
To copy X-Spell and Dictionary to the current C directory type
at the CLI:
1>copy "APDC # 023:X-Spell" WorkBench:C
(The CLI prompt "1>" is not meant to be typed).
Now you can run the X-Spell program from any directory simply by
typing at the CLI
1>x-spell <filename>
The filename must be entered at the CLI. This is the name of the
text file you want to spell check. See X-Spell.Doc for complete
instructions.
Amigaspell
A basic icon operated spell checker that scans your document
and displays unrecognized words as it encounters them. To expand
recognized words edit the file glossary.data
Databasing
----------
QBase
An excellent mailbase management utility. See QB.Doc for
instructions.
There are also three excellent databasing utilities by Hal Carter on
this disk. These are:
HouseInv A database utility to record information on your
valuable household possesions.
Mailmgr A mailing list manager.
Refmgr A 3 x 5 card type reference manager.
Select Instructions from the mouse menu interface for help on
using these three database utilities. To edit a new databse you will
need to enter some CLI commands to delete the existing databases in
these directories. See General Instructions under the Instructions
menu for help in deleting the proper files.
