CALLIGRAPHER JUNIOR
===================
Version 2.25 - Working Title - £69.99 - 3 Discs - Manual - Any ST
Calligrapher Junior, is supplied as a three disk set, with a chunky
manual, which I'll come on to later.
Calligrapher Junior (Named as CJ from now on), will run on a normal
520 ST, but this is limited to fairly straightforward tasks, I would
recommend a 1 Meg or more machine to take advantage of the whole
package.
CJ, is based around its own GEM environment. Installing your system is
quite easy, and I have been told a lot easier than Calligrapher
Professional.
Backuping the disks is a problem as they are protected, you have to
install your set-up details , and then you can create a working disk.
But, when you load them up, you are asked for Master disc 1, which to
use you must register, and you will then recieve some more discs,
these are unprotected, why you may ask should they do this, well in
the ABOUT menu, your name is splatted all over, so the blame if you
take to copying it around, will fall on yourself.
Booting up the main disc, G+Plus program installs, this is by Codehead
incidently, it was written especially for them. The package comes with
a dictionary and thesaurus, which is disk 3.
The Manual is quite lengthy, and I must say is one of the best I have
ever seen, it is set out quite simply and falls naturally step by step
into place.
Apart from the manual, there is on-screen help, by pressing the HELP
button, detailed advice comes up.
CJ, comes with some utils, some of which include a GDOS font editor,
and a date-setter.
The main screen in CJ, is base around GEM, with the familiar file
icons (re-designed a bit), and the document you are working on is an
open-window, which can be expanded and condensed, as in GEM. The disc
drive icon allows you to delete files, create new folders, etc. The
dustbin icon, closes the current file. The printer icon is a bit like
the one of Kaos Desktop, allowing you to drag a file to a printer, to
be printed out.
The main options can be accessed from drop-down menus, and all but a
few, have keyboard shortcuts, which are on the reference card that you
also get.
Calligrapher is a WYSISWYG word-processor, and has proportional
justification, and rulers that are of the exact size of your paper.
As in FSP3, the fonts appear quite blocky but once sent to the
printer, they come out as smooth as a pint of Guiness.
Fonts can be used in a very large range on sizes, from 6-point to
128-point, which is very useful indeed. These fonts are vector fonts,
and a program is run when you boot up, LINE ARC, which draws the
vector fonts. You recieve Swiss and Times fonts to begin with, but on
registration you recieve, Maths, Greek, Courier, and Dingbats fonts.
Dingbats is like all the Access, telephone signs etc. for adverts and
things.
There are all the usual DTP features, as well as some other ones.
