This is a heavy duty Word Processing Program intended for a wide variety of word processing and editing tasks. As installed, it is ideal for the touch typist - there is no need to take your hands off the home row to activate any of the functions. 2. The novice should have no difficulty in using the program - the program is easy to learn, since it comes with context sensitive help available at the press of the F1 key. There is also a tutorial on the program disk, for novice users to try out the various functions. 3. The program comes supplied with industry standard Pull Down Menus to make learning it even easier. The point and select usage means that touch typists do not need to lift their hands from the home row. In addition, each command on the pull down menu can optionally display the command sequence needed to activate it, so novices can learn the commands. The pull down menu is activated by the F10 key. 4. The keyboard commands are fully configurable from an installation program. Many of the options are also configurable from inside the program. As supplied, it comes installed with a WordstarTM compatible interface, which is the industry standard for editor programs. Experienced users do not need to use the pull down menus, since all functions of the menu are also available at the press of one or two keys. 5. The word processor document files are ASCII text files, which means that there are no funny embedded characters (unless you use the print control sequences) and no hi order bits set on. The files are WordstarTM compatible, which means that you can load them into any word processor that reads Wordstar files. Apart from printer control strings, all formatting commands are by use of dot commands (. in column one) or embedded functions ({. }) in the text body. 6. There are up to 8 editing windows, which can look at different files or the same file. These files can be loaded from the parameter line. Any window can be zoomed to occupy the entire screen. 7. Printer support includes laser printers. It is easy to customise the printer drivers, and different ones can be selected from a pick list at print time. Printing also occurs in background, letting you go on with other word processing tasks. 8. The program comes with a 100,000 word dictionary and an update program that will add or delete words from the dictionary. In addition to the main dictionary, you can set up auxiliary dictionaries in each directory, containing words specific to particular projects. Main dictionaries are available in American, Australian and British versions. 9. The program can generate indexes and tables of contents. Both these files can be customised during the generation by use of options embedded in the text. In addition, paragraphs can be numbered automatically in several formats. 10. The program comes with macro facilities, the ability to record keystrokes, and a number of macro files for additional flexibility. In addition, macros can be invoked at program start up from the parameter line. 11. Printing, index and table of contents generation can include other files, which can in turn include other files, up to 5 levels of nesting. This means that even the biggest novel or research paper can be easily managed. 12. Automatic reformatting of text is available. This can be turned ON and OFF as required. In addition automatic hyphenation is available. 13. Tables are supported, as is word wrap and justification of each table column independently. Column mode blocks can be defined and copied, moved or deleted. 14. Comprehensive monitor support - MONO, CGA, EGA or VGA or HERCULES. 15. DOS shell is supported to permit use of all DOS commands from within the program. Can also free up memory to run large programs. 16. A pop up calculator with 16 functions is included. The calculation result can be pasted into your text. 17. The program comes with support for box and line drawing, with these characters available at the press of a key. Load the macro files SINGLE.MAC for single lines and DOUBLE.MAC for double lines. Additional macro files contain European and Greek characters. 18. Optional on screen display of fonts is also available. You can edit text with this mode operating (unlike wordstar). 19. Printing can have multiple headers and footers, and these can include functions such as current date or time. 20. Embedded print functions are supported in both headers / footers and within the text body. Print functions can be evaluated on screen, and include date and time, file name, revision marking and so on. 21. Comprehensive text formatting is available and can be stored in the text as ruler lines. There is no limit on the number of ruler lines you can have. There is even a file of standard ruler lines that can be automatically included into your text. You can add other lines to this file should you so desire. 22. Mouse support. 23. Automatic save feature after number of minutes or number of keystrokes (can be disabled) 24. Full featured mail merge facility that includes mathematic calculations, conditional merging using IF ELSE constructs and so on. 25. File names can have up to 65 character descriptions added to them, in order to make recognition of files easier. These descriptions are displayed when files are listed, and can be altered at the press of a key. In addition, a utility (FI) is supplied to display and change file descriptions from the dos prompt. It acts like a replacement of the DOS DIR command. 26. Support for foot notes and end notes. Notes can span multiple include files. 27. Snaking columns of text supported. These newspaper style columns (not to be confused with tables) have text wrapping to the next column when the bottom of the current one is reached. 28. Hundreds of other sophisticated features like insertion of current date or time (in different formats), the ability to mark changed text in the left hand margin, offset page number on odd or even pages, print page numbers as roman Numerals and so on. 29. The installed command make it perfect for Lap tops, while the cursor can be changed to a hard block of colour where it is ordinarily hard to see. Running the Program =================== The manual describes how to install and run the program. Briefly - the overlay file (WF.OVR) must be in the default directory unless you have installed the home directory: 1. Make the Word Fugue directory the default directory 2. Run Word Fugue by typing in WF 3. Install the home directory by F10 O G H to display the default directory. Press ENTER to record it, followed by ESC to return to the options menu, S to save the defaults, and then press ESC 3 times to exit the pulldown menus and return to text entry mode These instructions may seem long winded, but they are operating a pulldown menu, and will be intuitively obvious when you try it. The Manual on Disk ===================== The manual is set up for printing using Word Fugue, and is a very good demo of how to go about using many of the print commands. It also shows you how to set up a large document in several files, with a master document to pull them all together. It is an abridged version of the full manual, which currently runs to over 260 pages or 900k. To read the manual, simply load the files WF.001 to WF.018 into Word Fugue and browse them. They will also show you how to set up a large document consisting of several chapters, how to use ruler lines and formatting and so on. If you need to print the manual, make sure you have plenty of paper in your printer (at least 180 pages), load WF.DOC into Word Fugue, press Ctrl K P to activate the print menu, select an appropriate PDF file (Which printer will show you a list to choose from), and press P to commence printing. ASP Ombudsman ============= This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536. ===== Installation ===================================== Installing the Program ====================== Self Installing Version - INSTALL.EXE on disk 1 Place the INSTALL DISK #1 in your floppy disk drive.

For a period of 90 days from the date of your purchase of Word Fugue, Fugue Software will, at its sole option and subject to the restrictions above and below, repair or replace any defective item(s), or refund the purchase price of any diskette and/or manual and/or any other parts or components of Word Fugue found to be defective, if such defect is the fault of Fugue Software and not the result of misuse or abuse. Such a refund, repair, or replacement shall be your sole remedy for any defects, program error(s), or documentation error(s). In no event shall Fugue Software be responsible for any other costs or damages whatsoever due to errors in usage or your failure to read, understand, or follow instructions in the documentation. Fugue SOFTWARE MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

NOTE: In some countries (including Australia) local laws may prescribe different warranties. ===== License for Use and Distribution ================= Word Fugue License Agreement (1) Copyright: The Word Fugue program and all other programs and documentation distributed or shipped with it are Copyright to Fugue Software, 1988, 1994, and are protected by Australian and international copyright law. In the rest of this document, this collection of programs is referred to simply as "Word Fugue". You are granted a license to use your copy of Word Fugue only under the terms and conditions specified in this license agreement. (2) Use of One Copy on Two Computers: If you have a copy of Word Fugue which is licensed for use on a single computer, you may install it on two computers used at two different locations (for example, at work and at home), provided there is no possibility that the two computers will be in use at the same time, and provided that you yourself have purchased Word Fugue, or if Word Fugue was purchased by your employer, that you have your employer's explicit permission to install Word Fugue on two systems as described in this paragraph. The right to install one copy of Word Fugue on two computers is limited to copies originally licensed for use on a single computer, and may not be used to expand the number of systems covered under a multi-system license. (3) Use of Word Fugue on Networks or Multiple Systems: You may install your registered copy of Word Fugue on a computer attached to a network, or remove it from one computer and install it on a different one, provided there is no possibility that your copy will be used by more users than it is licensed for. A "user" is defined as one keyboard which is connected to a computer on which Word Fugue is installed, regardless of whether or not the user of the keyboard is aware of the installation or use of Word Fugue in the system. (4) Making Copies: You may copy any version of Word Fugue for normal backup purposes, and you may give copies of the shareware version to other individuals, which they may also use and copy subject to the terms of this agreement. If you copy the shareware version of Word Fugue for others, you must include all of the files distributed with it, including this one. You may not give copies of the registered version to any other person for any purpose, and you may not make any copies of the printed and bound Word Fugue manual without explicit written permission from Fugue Software. (5) Distribution Restrictions: ASP Vendors may distribute Word Fugue as part of their shareware offerings provided they abide by the ASP regulations and guidelines. Non ASP vendors may distribute Word Fugue shareware version provided they distribute the entire Word Fugue package. They may add files to it, but under no circumstances may they remove files. They must also inform buyers of their obligation to register the program if they continue to use it after a reasonable evaluation period. NON ASP vendors must also not charge more than a reasonable copying fee for the disks (around $US3 per 360k disk, and no more than $US8 for 1.4M disks). Individual copies of the shareware version may be passed to friends and associates for their individual use provided the entire package is passed on, and the recipient is made aware of their obligation to register. This same applies to hardware vendors who bundle shareware with their systems. Specifically, Word Fugue is NOT free or Public Domain, and you may not represent it as such. You may not sell the registered version without express written permission from Fugue Software. (6) Use of Word Fugue: Word Fugue is a powerful program. While we have attempted to build in reasonable safeguards, if you do not use Word Fugue properly you may destroy files or cause other damage to your computer software and data. You assume full responsibility for the selection and use of Word Fugue to achieve your intended results. As stated below, Fugue Software limits its warranty to replacement of a defective program diskette or manual. ===== About VENDINFO Files ============================= Each VENDINFO.DIZ file contains extensive information about a product.
