Due to the size of The A64 Packages' documentation (120+ pages) the
documentation is broken down into several files. This makes it
easier for both reading and printing.
To read a documentation file simply double-click it's icon and the
program More (found on your WorkBench) will automatically be started.
You can also print the files with the supplied program "PrintFile."
To use PrintFile double-click the PrintFile icon and when the program
is started type in the name of the document file you wish to print
and then press the RETURN key. More information on PrintFile can be
found in the UTILITIES section. Each documentation file has been
neatly formatted so when printed it can be put into a 3-ring binder.
Before printing the documentation files you should make sure your
printer is set to the following settings in the WorkBench
Preferences:
66 lines per page
left margin: 10
right margin: 80
10 Pica or 12 Elite
6 lpi (lines per inch)
Listed below is a summary of what sections each documentation file
contains. It corresponds to the CONTENTS section which is meant to
be used with a printed copy of the documentation.
