Labels:text | screenshot | font OCR: < < <<< PARex v3.10 >>> > > Why "PARex" ? - Release : 16-Jan-94 Copyright 1991-1994 Chris P. Vandierendonck, [AmiSYS]. No, the name PARex has nothing to do with ARexx. PARex was developed to make up for the shortcoming of the wordprocessor Excellence! to use the internal printer fonts. The only way to use these internal printer fonts was to select them directly with the printer, and not through the AmigaDOS printer device. Experienced users know that the only way you can do this is through the "PAR:" device. So PARex was conceived to convert the AmigaDOS printer control sequences as used by Excellence! in its ASCII output, into printer specific control commands. Therefore the name is a contraction between "PAR:" and "Excellence!", in other words PARex.
