- <+B>*****************************************
- <+B>README.SAM - Am<\m> Professional ver. 1.2
- <+B>*****************************************
- We hope the following information will help you use Am<\m> Professional.
- More specialized information is provided in several files copied to
- the \AMIPRO\DOCS directory during the installation:
- READMAC.SAM - contains information about the macros provided
- with your software, the macro documentation, and on-line macro help.
- MEMORY.SAM - contains a technical discussion of memory management
- and utilization in Windows 286 and Windows 386.
- In addition, the ASCII file READNET.TXT, located on the last Am<\m>
- Professional program disk, contains information about installing and
- using Windows and Am<\m> Professional on networks.
- --------------------------------
- MEMORY CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
- --------------------------------
- Memory configuration is the most important factor determining application's
- performance running under Windows. Unfortunately, it can be a very
- complex issue. The following guidelines are provided for memory configuration
- in the most basic situations. Please read MEMORY.SAM for a more complete
- discussion of memory configuration for Ami Professional.
- 1. If you have only 640K, please follow the installation and operation
- instructions in the Ami Professional documentation.
- 2. If you have additional memory, are using Windows 286 or Windows
- 386, and typically run only one application at a time, Samna recommends
- you load Windows with the /N switch. Type "WIN /N", "WIN386 /N" or
- "AMIPRO /N" at the DOS prompt. When running with the /N switch, you
- should configure your system's extra memory for SmartDrive.
- 3. If you have additional memory, are using Windows 286 or Windows
- 386, and typically run multiple Windows applications simultaneously,
- Samna recommends that you load Windows with the /L switch. Type "WIN
- /L+75" or "WIN386 /L+75" at the DOS prompt.
- 4. The Am<\m> Professional installation now creates two additional
- subdirectories: an \AMIPRO\DRAW directory and an \AMIPRO\MACROS directory.
- All .SDW (clip art) files are placed in the DRAW directory and all
- macro files are placed in the MACROS directory.
- ---------------------------------
- DOCUMENTATION ERRORS OR OMISSIONS
- ---------------------------------
- 1. The ~PRO.STY style sheet has been modified. Several paragraph
- styles were deleted, settings for some of the styles were changed,
- and several new styles were added. If you previously created documents
- using this style sheet, we recommend that you check those documents
- to make sure the text formatting, paging, and placement of frames
- are correct.
- If you decide you do not want to use the new ~PRO.STY style sheet,
- you can copy the previous ~PRO.STY style sheet file from Program Disk
- 1 to the \AMIPRO\STYLES directory. At a DOS prompt, type:
- COPY A:\~PRO.STY C:\AMIPRO\STYLES
- (where \AMIPRO\STYLES represents the directory that contains the Am<\m>
- Professional style sheet files)
- 2. Reference Manual page 30 fails to note that the size of the symbols
- used in a chart is determined by the size of the frame at the time
- the chart is generated. If you later change the size of the frame,
- use the Frame/Graphics Scaling/Fit in Frame command to size the drawing
- relative to the new frame size.
- 3. Reference Manual pages 112 and 113, in the Use Styles and Ignore
- Styles sections, should state that all paragraphs will use the style
- of the line on which the cursor is located when you give the Import
- command.

- OTHER NOTES
- -----------
- Many computers support variable keyboard repeat rates. For these
- computers, you can increase the keyboard speed by choosing Control
- Menu/Control Panel/Preferences/Keyboard Speed. Move the scroll bar
- to the right to increase the speed. You will notice a significant
- increase in cursor speed and scrolling with this adjustment. (If
- your computer does not support keyboard speed adjustment, Keyboard
- Speed will not appear on the Control Panel/Preferences menu.)
- When printing bullets, be sure the printer resolution is set as high
- as possible. If bullets are printed at low resolution, they may look
- irregular.
- When using the TTY.DRV printer driver, do not specify custom line
- spacing or space above or below paragraphs for any paragraph styles.
- If you use a different spacing, inconsistent printing may result.
- You may occasionally see ~SAM????.TMP or ~ISD????.TMP files in the
- root or TEMP directory on your hard drive. You are free to delete
- these files when Ami Professional is not loaded.
- Defaults for Charting are stored in a file named AMICHART.DFL initially
- located in the \AMIPRO\DOCS directory. If you change the Document
- Default Path using Edit/Defaults/Paths, you will need to copy this
- file to the new directory.
- On occasion, you may notice results on the screen that are inconsistent
- with what you expect. In almost all cases, this is a symptom of the
- screen not being refreshed properly. To correct these screen "paint"
- problems, press PG DN and then press PG UP. In most cases, this will
- solve the display problem.
