There are two options you may choose from to receive the latest version of theTypeBook.
• The freeware version is distributed via CompuServe and America Online directly by me. It also filters down through many other local BBS's from there but this process takes time. The best way to obtain the freeware version of theTypeBook is to send the following:
1) A formatted 800K (2DD) diskette.
2) A postage-paid, self-addressed disk mailer for the return trip.
(Outside the US the postage rate is rarely above $1.75 US)
I will place a copy of the latest version on this disk and use the
mailer to return it to you. I cannot accept responibility for
incomplete address information or insufficient postage.
• Customized versions are available in which the page footer is configured to your specifications. The fee for a customized version is $45 (US). Both artwork and copy are used. You should provide some indication to the positioning of the elements (logo on the left, right, etc.). If no layout is indicated I will use the current layout or my own judgement.
Artwork should be in one of the following formats:
Freehand (no EPS)
Illustrator
PICT
MacPaint
* You should select a format that prints well on the printer you are using, or supply both a FH or ILL postscript and a PICT or MPNT file. MPNT files should be created at 400% for best results on 300dpi or higher printers. If you don't know how to create the MPNT version I can do that for you from the postscript version. Color is not currently supported. This artwork may be scaled in size to fit the available area. If you are using type as part of the artwork it is recommended that it be converted to outlines. When specifying artwork you must supply it on a 2DD 3.5" diskette.
Copy may be typewritten or optionally included on the disk with the artwork. It is also limited by the space available. Generally, 3 - 4 lines depending on the typesize specified. Remember the total vertical space is 32 pts including descenders.
When ordering, if you also include the "Color" sample copy I will install it as well. Versions 2.0 and later have a text editing window to permit entry and changing of the "Color" sample copy. A good character count is between 375 and 475 characters. Also you should use a good mix of caps and lower case (your typical writting style).
If you decide to take advantage of the freeware offer. Send a pre-formatted 3.5" 2DD disk and a Postage-Paid mailer. Note that incomplete requests in this catagory may be ignored for an undefined period of time.
The customization fee is $45 dollars. Upgrades are free upon request, including changes to any of your information in the page footer. Registered owners of prior versions should include a copy of theTypeBook application they have. This will facilitate duplication of their existing layout.
