Copyright 1992 Hyperion Softword
ORPHEUS Version 1.21
Orpheus is an advanced, writer-friendly authoring system for makers of
online manuals and tutorials, electronic books, and all other kinds of
hypertext writing. Whether you are a veteran of hypertext or a first-
time author, Orpheus can help you get those great ideas out of the air
and into silicon.
The system consists of two programs: Orpheus Author, an Integrated
Development Environment for hypertext writers; and the Orpheus Reader,
a program for you to distribute with your finished books in compiled
form. Orpheus Author requires a hard disk; the Reader does not.
This package should include the following files:
On Disk 1:
README ....................... this file
OH.EXE ....................... Orpheus Author
WHATS.NEW .................... new features, fixes
VENDOR.TXT ................... info for shareware vendors
REGISTER.DOC ................. order form
On Disk 2:
MANUAL.DOC ................... manual/tutorial on OH.EXE
OH.HLP ....................... its online help
SCORPIO.PCX .................. graphic for tutorial
On Disk 3:
OHREAD.EXE ................... the Orpheus Reader
OHREAD.HLP ................... its online help
INTRO.HTX .................... demo book to read with Reader
INTR_.1 ...................... part of demo book
WORLDMAP.PCX ................. shown in demo
HOME16.PCX ................... shown in demo
SHOWRUN.BAT .................. called by demo
The sample electronic book "Introducing Orpheus" demonstrates some of
the system's principle features. To read it, give the following command
at the DOS prompt:
ohread intro.htx [Enter]
The Orpheus Reader can be run directly from the floppy, though you may
wish to make a backup first. Please note however that the authoring
program (OH.EXE) requires a hard disk. To install the entire system,
simply copy all three disks into a single directory on your hard drive.
Orpheus is distributed as shareware and costs $49. You are welcome to
evaluate Orpheus for up to 30 days, after which you are expected to
register the software if you wish to continue using it. You are also
welcome to make copies for friends or to upload it to BBS's, provided
you share only the complete, unaltered system as you received it.
For a comprehensive introduction to Orpheus, including tutorials on how
to create hypertext and produce fine electronic books, see MANUAL.DOC.
For information on our official support BBS (where you can obtain free
updates), see below. For an order form that will help me serve you better,

NOTE: compiled works created with Version 1.00 of Orpheus are not
compatible with this version of the Orpheus Reader. If you are
updating from the earlier version, be sure to get the entire package.
SUPPORT BBS:
Yes, Orpheus now has an official support BBS, thanks to Synapse, a 20-line
BBS located in Gatineau, Quebec (Canada). To obtain the latest version
of Orpheus or to leave messages in the Orpheus Support conference (#1022),
have your computer call one of the numbers below. When prompted for
your name, enter "ORPHEUS USER". When prompted for your password, enter
"VISITOR". Synapse will grant you immediate download privileges. Since
all Orpheus files will begin with the letters "ORPH", look for the latest
version by giving the command "L ORPH*.*" (meaning Locate all Orpheus
files). When asked which directory to search, answer 68 (Recent Uploads)
or All.
