--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: For the vision impaired, a large font screen driver is available with the

Thank you for trying the Shareware Edition of Laser Letterhead Plus. If you
wish to register this product, you will receive three free customized PCX images
for a letterhead, logo, and watermark along with additional utility programs,
including a Spell Check for TextWriter. See the registration form below. The
install program is an easy one that sets up the program so it may be used
immediately. Price of the Registered Commercial Edition: $25 plus shipping.
The Handbook is set for 60 lines/page and may be printed on your laser printer.
If you have PRINT.EXE in the DOS directory, type PRINT README.DOC at the system
prompt while in the same directory as HANDBOOK.DOC. Or, you may also use
TYPE HANDBOOK.DOC > LPT1 on the command line if LPT1 is your printer port.
The Handbook may be viewed on screen from inside Laser Letterhead plus by press-
ing Function Key F1. Otherwise, it may be read on screen when you are in the
program directory by typing BROWSE HANDBOOK.DOC and striking ENTER at the system
prompt. In the same manner, this README.DOC file may be read also by typing
BROWSE README.DOC at the system prompt or from the DOS Shell inside LLHP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES PCL BITMAP SOFTFONTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laser Letterhead plus requires that you supply your own PCL bitmap soft fonts.
The fonts in SetUp are only examples and do not exist on the program disk. PCL
bitmap soft fonts are readily available from your shareware dealer and other
commercial sources. Postscript fonts, outline fonts, or programs that are
made to create fonts on the fly for specific applications will not work. If you
cannot locate PCL bitmap soft fonts, you may call or FAX our Technical Support
Voice/FAX/Message line: 813-544-0212 for help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION NOTICES IF YOU ARE USING A CACHE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION: THIS PROGRAM UTILIZES EXTENDED AND/OR EXPANDED MEMORY IF AVAILABLE. IF
YOU HAVE A DISK CACHE THAT RUNS IN EXTENDED MEMORY, SHUT OFF THIS PROGRAM'S
ABILITY TO ACCESS EXTENDED MEMORY IN SETUP. THE PROGRAM WILL ACT STRANGELY AND
HANG UP IF YOU DO NOT DO SO. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO WINDOWS 3.1 USERS (BELOW).
WINDOWS 3.0 USERS: IF YOU HAVE HIMEM.SYS AND USE SMARTDRIV.SYS, USE THE /a
SWITCH AFTER IT SO IT WILL ACCESS AND USE EXPANDED MEMORY. EXPANDED MEMORY DISK
CACHES DO NOT INTERFERE WITH LASER LETTERHEAD PLUS OR WITH MOST OTHER PROGRAMS.
WINDOWS 3.1 USERS: IF YOU USE SMARTDRIV.EXE THAT IS INSTALLED IN AUTOEXEC.BAT
FILE, LASER LETTERHEAD PLUS VERSION 3.5 IS COMPATIBLE AND WILL WORK WITH IT
WITHOUT REGARD AS TO HOW YOU HAVE IT SET UP. YOU MAY ALSO SET LLHP TO USE
BOTH EXTENDED AND EXPANDED MEMORY IN THE SETUP PROGRAM.

|||||||||||||| EASY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - HARD DISK ONLY ||||||||||||||||
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The INSTALL program will create a directory and copy all the program files into
it. If you keep your soft fonts in another directory on your disk, INSTALL will
alter the LP.BAT file to indicate that to the program at start up and download
time. This program is available on two 360K disks or one 720K disk.
-> 1. Place the Program diskette in Drives A or B or whatever floppy diskette
drive you have. It does not HAVE to be drive A. If you are using two 360K
diskettes (both are required), insert Program Disk #1.
-> 2. Log onto the drive containing the program diskette and type: INSTALL
-> 3. The INSTALL program will ask on what drive you wish to locate the program
(it must be on your hard disk). It will create a new directory for the files.
You are asked to supply the name of the directory.
-> 4. You will see on the screen what is occuring. If you have 360K diskettes,
you will be prompted to insert Program Disk #2. The 720K diskette will skip the
prompt.
-> 5. You will be asked if you want to keep the soft fonts in the same directory
as the program files, or if they are already in another drive and/or directory.
Avoid placing your fonts in a subdirectory off of a directory of another program.
This takes much longer for the program to find the fonts, and may cause a
problem. If you wish to have several programs access your soft fonts, place
them in a directory directly off the root directory.
-> 6. When the INSTALL process stops, you will be on the drive you specified
above for the Program files. Installation is completed.
-> 7. Run a DIR command on the program directory. You must have a total of 35
files installed for Laser Letterhead plus to work properly. If you do not,
contact your shareware distributor or CPI Software. The following is a list of
files that you should have; all but this README.DOC are needed for LLHP to work:
1. LP.BAT 2. BROWSE.COM 3. OVL_1.EXE 4. OVL_2.COM
5. OVL_3.COM 6. OVL_4.COM 7. OVL_5.COM 8. OVL_6.EXE
9. ADDRESS.DAT 10. COUNTER.DAT 11. COUNTEXT.DAT 12. IMPORT.DAT
13. LETTER.DAT 14. PHRASE.DAT 15. TEXT.DAT 16. HANDBOOK.DOC
17. README.DOC 18. ENVELOPE.EXE 19. LLHPV35.EXE 20. TWRITE.EXE
21. WORDPROC.EXE 22. BIGJOHN.PCX 23. FROMDESK.PCX 24. JOHNFLY.PCX
25. MEMO.PCX 26. SAVEDOLP.PCX 27. SAVEFISH.PCX 28. SHUTLOGO.PCX
29. TECHLINE.PCX 30. TOP.PCX 31. WM_AERO.PCX 32. WM_DOLPH.PCX
33. WM_ENVIR.PCX 34. WM_HORSE.PCX 35. WORLDINC.PCX
-> 8. Type LP to start the program, and go to the Handbook, and follow the
instructions under "How to Begin". Thank You for trying Laser Letterhead Plus.

Product Registration and Request for Basic Customized PCX Pak
===============================================================================
Registration will entitle you to receive the Commercial Edition of Laser
Letterhead plus, a printed Handbook, and the Basic Customizing PCX Pak. The
PCX Pak contains forms for obtaining one PCX text based logo, one PCX
letterhead image, and one PCX watermark image at NO COST TO YOU. The image
designs selected from the Pak are professionally designed as vector images
using fountain fills, gray shades, 3-D perspective or other appropriate
effects. Finally, they are scaled to exact print size and converted to a
black and white PCX image. Typefaces may be selected from a wide selection
(over 100) of popular fonts. You may include material for scanning.
In addition, you may have one image of your own converted to PCX format
and/or re-scaled if it is in one of the following formats:
1. TIFF files 7. PIF, GDF from IBM
2. BMP or Windows 3.+ Bitmaps 8. PICT from MacIntosh computers
3. DXF or Autocad 9. HPGL plotter files
4. AI, EPS, from Adobe 10. CGM Computer Graphics Metafiles
5. GEM files 11. EPS CorelTrace

If your image is not in any of these formats, we will be able to scan it
with a high resolution 600dpi flatbed scanner, converting it to a PCX file.
Scanned images run the risk of losing some small detail when transferred.
Additional PCX images or logos may be ordered with the Basic PCX Pak.
We reserve the right to refuse any image or letterhead requests that are
considered unreasonable or not within the scope or intent of this offer.
