- * This month's application note to be featured in the column is the
- "Archimedes Application Authors' Guidelines". It is aimed at the
- experienced user of the Archimedes who is intending to write software for
- general release. It covers many of the do's and dont's of how an
- application uses the resources of the Archimedes and contains many good
- guidelines for writing an application which will work both with Arthur 1.2
- and RISC OS. A copy may be obtained from the Customer Support Department.
-
- * For those Archimedes owners with 1st Word Plus and an Epson compatible
- printer, here is a tip which will solve many aches and pains when using
- the wordprocessor with a printer which automatically line feeds. As you
- know, the manual states that auto-line feeds must be disabled, but this
- clashes with many other Archimedes packages. So, here are the changes you
- need to make to your printer driver:
-
- Entry 1 set to D
- Entry 23 set to 1B, 41, 0, D, 1B, 32
-
- * Still with 1st Word Plus, if you can't get the package to pause at the
- end of each page (despite setting the flag in the printer driver), an
- updated version may be obtained from Customer Support. Simply return the
- 1st Word Plus disc.
-
- * Just a reminder about writing to Customer Support. To ensure the mail
- reaches us quicker, the proper address is Customer Support, Acorn
