The Over_LAZ collection is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation purposes. Feel free to share it with your friends, but you must not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. * * * * IF YOU FIND ANY OF THE PROGRAMS USEFUL AND FIND THAT YOU CONTINUE TO USE ANY OF THE OVER_LAZ FILES AFTER A 30 DAY TRIAL PERIOD, YOU MUST MAKE A REGISTRATION PAYMENT OF $25 (US), $29 (CDN) (PLUS $2 POSTAGE AND HANDLING) TO HERNE DATA SYSTEMS LTD. UNLIMITED USER SITE/LAN LICENSES ARE AVAILABLE FOR $125 (US) OR $135 (CDN). CHECK, MONEY ORDER OR VISA CARD ORDERS ARE ACCEPTED.

A separate version of Over_LAZ is available for PostScript printers. Look for the file OVERPS.ZIP or OVERPS.EXE on your favourite BBS or shareware retailer. Complete installation and usage instructions can be found in the file INSTALL.DOC elsewhere on this disk. 1 Over_LAZ HP (v4) Overlay Descriptions ----------------------------------------------------------------- Over_LAZ IMAGES Over_LAZ image files are grouped into three categories: letterheads (forms), rubberstamps (sometimes called 'water marks'), and decorative borders. The current files in each category are described below. LETTERHEADS 'Letterhead' or form type overlay files can be used for general office correspondence. When using letterheads, the top margin of the document should be set to at least 1.25 inches to allow adequate space to print the letterhead. Letterheads are optimized for 8 1/2" x 11" portrait mode printing, but will also work for 8 1/2" x 14" legal portrait as well as metric A4 portrait printing. Except as noted, all letterhead type overlays use 18 point Swiss (Helvetica) extra bold, in lower case, right justified and include a thin (0.5 point) horizontal line, 7 inches long, about 1 inch down from the top of the page. A typical letterhead overlay would look something like: agenda _________________________________________________________________ File names such as AGEN.HP have the text in solid characters, while those ending in "2", such as AGEN2.HP, have the text in outline characters.

The first type are designated 'letter stamps' and are optimized for 8 1/2" x 11" portrait mode printing, but can also be used for 8 1/2" x 14" legal portrait and metric A4 portrait. They should not be used for landscape mode printing. The second type are designated 'envelope stamps' and are optimized for landscape printing on standard #9 or #10 size business envelopes. The third type are designated 'top stamps', which print out at the top of the page (i.e. within the top margin of the page.) Most letter stamp overlays are available in solid medium gray, outline, or light gray filled outline. Envelope stamps and top stamps print in medium gray filled outline. In all cases, regular black text from your document printed over the rubber stamp is completely legible. As a security feature, the solid gray stamps do not reproduce well and may obscure text when photo copied or FAXed. (The outline stamps have the best reproducibility with most copiers and FAX machines). Letter Stamps Unless otherwise noted, solid gray stamps are in 48 point Swiss extra bold. Text is printed at a 30 degree angle in the center of the page. Outline and filled outline stamps are Eurostile extended bold.

Separate files are provided for portrait and landscape orientations in two page sizes: letter (8.5" x 11"), and legal (8.5" x 14"). For simplicity, the files are listed below as 'xBORD' where x is P for (letter sized) portrait; L for (letter sized) landscape; X for legal portrait; and Y for legal landscape. For example, the file PBORD1.HP produces a single thin black line box, 0.5 inches from the edge of the paper in portrait mode on normal letter sized (8.5" x 11") paper. LBORD1.HP produces an identical border, but in landscape mode. Note that different brands of laser printers have a slightly different 'offset' for printing on a page. In some cases the borders may not appear to be physically centered on the page. However, they should be centered with respect to the text which will also be offset by the same amount. (Consult your printer manual for adjusting the printer offset, if required.) This is especially apparent when using landscape borders with WordPerfect 5.1 (or later) and a LaserJet 3 or 4 printer driver (due to the method the WordPerfect printer driver sets landscape mode on these printers). Consult the WordPerfect section of the INSTALL.DOC file elsewhere on this disk for correcting this problem. xBORD1.HP Prints a single thin black line box 0.5 inches in from the edge of the paper. xBORD1S.HP Similar to above, but with a light grey shadow to the right and below the main box. xBORD2.HP Prints a double thin black line box 0.5 inches in from the edge of the paper, with the lines spaced about 0.1 inches apart. xBORD2S.HP Similar to above, but with a light grey shadow to the right and below the main box. xBORD3.HP Prints a double black line (inner thin line, outer thick line) box 0.5 inches in from the edge of the paper, with the lines spaced about 0.1 inches apart. xBORD3S.HP Similar to above, but with a light grey shadow to the right and below the main box. 10 Over_LAZ HP (v4) Overlay Descriptions ----------------------------------------------------------------- xBORD4.HP Prints a double black line (inner thick line, outer thin line) box 0.5 inches in from the edge of the paper, with the lines spaced about 0.1 inches apart. xBORD4S.HP Similar to above, but with a light grey shadow to the right and below the main box. xBORD5.HP Prints a series of 6 medium thick line boxes, spaced 1/4" apart, with the outer line in light grey at 0.5 inches from the page edge, increasing in density with the innermost line in black. For best results, use a top, bottom, left and right margin setting of 2 inches. xBORD6.HP Prints a 1/4" thick line box in medium grey with the outer edge 0.5 inches from the edge of the paper. xBORD7.HP Prints a medium thick black line box 0.5 inches in from the edge of the paper, with a 0.25 inch thick horizontal line shaded shadow to the right and below the main box. xBORD8.HP Prints a 1/4" thick line box in medium cross hatch pattern with the outer edge 0.5 inches from the edge of the paper. xBORD9.HP Prints a single thin black line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.25" radius rounded corners. xBORD10.HP Prints a single thin black line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.25" offset diagonal corners. xBORD11.HP Prints a single thin black line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.25" offset notched corners. xBORD12.HP Prints a single thin black line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.25" offset notched corners overlapped with a single thin black line box, square corners 0.8" from the edge of the paper. xBORD13.HP Prints a double black line (inner thin line, outer thick line) round corner box 0.5 inches in from the edge of the paper, with the lines spaced about 11 Over_LAZ HP (v4) Overlay Descriptions ----------------------------------------------------------------- 0.1 inches apart. xBORD14.HP Prints a double black line (inner thin line, outer thick line) diagonal corner box 0.5 inches in from the edge of the paper, with the lines spaced about 0.1 inches apart. xBORD15.HP Prints a double black line (inner thin line, outer thick line) notched corner box 0.5 inches in from the edge of the paper, with the lines spaced about 0.1 inches apart. xBORD16.HP Prints a single thin black line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.25" radius rounded corners, inside a 0.25 inch thick light grey, square corner box. xBORD17.HP Prints a single thin black line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.25" offset diagonal corners, inside a 0.25 inch thick light grey, square corner box. xBORD18.HP Prints a single thin black line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.25" offset notched corners, inside a 0.25 inch thick light grey, square corner box. xBORD19.HP Prints a single 0.25" thick light grey line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.5" offset notched corners. xBORD20.HP Prints a single 0.25" thick light grey line box 0.75 inches in from the edge of the paper with 0.5" offset diagonal corners.
