WP BookLet System 2.1 [WPBOOKLT]
For WordPerfect
#12363 (WP-06)
Alex D. Ogden; $15
is a macro package for producing booklets with WordPerfect 5.1. It keeps
track of up to 16 different booklet paper definitions on each of 10
different printers at the same time. Eight paper sizes are supported. It
supports the use of page numbers including having page one someplace
other than at the start of the document.
-----Quick Looks:
Calvin 2.2 [CALVIN] (Paul Voijta; $0) is a text editor
[LifePix] 1.7 (PC Solutions; $15) is a fractal picture generator.
LPT-Buff [LPTBUFF] (Charles Martin ASP; $5) turns up to 64k of RAM into
a print buffer. It does NOT use EMS/XMS.
Set Printer 3.1 [SETPRIN] (Castle Oaks Computer Services; $10) sets
several printer options through software instead of through front panel
or dip switches.
Word Counter 2.01a [WORDCNT] (Raymond Rodgers; $0) counts the number of
words in a text file.
PC Greetings 2.0 [PCGREET] (Micro Madness Software; $20) is a 3D
animated Birthday card. It opens up and displays a personal message.
When the card closes, the scene on the card expands to full screen and
becomes a colorful birthday display with marquee-effect Happy Birthday
logo, 14 different colored floating balloons, a personal slice of cake
with flaming candle, and PC speaker sound. <PCGREET.PCX>
[Together] 3.0 (Joe Colucciello; $30) is a TSR (11k) which lets you pop up
graphics (PCX) files when reading text files. Text and graphics can be
displayed together in a number of different formats, including overlay.
All that is required is to put the name of the PCX file in the text,
then press Together's hot key. Together scans the screen for the names
of PCX files in your specified directory. If more than one PCX file name
is on the screen, you can use the cursor to pick which to display. It
even works with a simple directory listing.
With the author's permission, we have placed screen dumps of a number of
this month's programs in a directory (SCREENS) on the CD along with a
dearchived copy of Together. To try out the program, read TOGETHER.DOC,
configure the INI file as instructed, and load TOGETHER before running
PsL's description files. When you see the name of a PCX file in PsL's
descriptions, press Together's hot key (CtrlAlt-T). NOTE: Together may
do swapping to disk. If so, you may have to copy Together to your hard
disk before loading it since it cannot swap/write to a CD-ROM.
