WP SIX.0 for DOS Lives!
WordPerfect for DOS development continues
Version 6.0c has entered beta testing
WordPerfect 6.0c for DOS entered beta testing last week and offers DOS
users enhanced SoftSolutions 4.0a integration, fax dial-out instructions, greater
file conversion capabilities, and more macro system variables. The interim
release is faster, uses less RAM, and graphic image display can be turned off
for even quicker screen redraw. In addition, a number of user-identified
problems have been fixed.
Enhancements Explained
· Enhanced SoftSolutions 4.0a integration -Working with
SoftSolutions is faster in 6.0c because communication with
SoftSolutions is handled through executable commands which are part
of WP.EXE. By eliminating the macros, WordPerfect 6.0c frees up an
additional 25-30k of conventional memory, and users no longer have
to wait for the large macro to execute. WordPerfect users will also feel
more comfortable now that SoftSolutions uses standard WordPerfect
dialog boxes.
· Fax dial-out instructions -You can set up eight different Dial-out
Instruction entries that automatically add prefixes and suffixes to phone
numbers in the fax phone book. For example, if you have the number
of a customer in New York City listed in your phone book as (212)
555-5555, the Dial-out Instruction Entry to fax from the Novell Orem
offices, automatically adds the prefix of "9." You can also have
entries for sending faxes from home or a hotel room. You can even
include information about calling cards, etc. to help automate the
fax-sending process.
· Greater File Conversion Capabilities -Converting files to
WPDOS 6.0c is a snap. You now have the same file conversion
capabilities found in WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows, including
conversion for MS Word 6.0 for Windows.
· Printed Pages System Variables -The printed pages system
variables allow a user to determine the number of pages printed in the
last print job, as well as the total number of pages printed during a
word processing session. This feature is especially valuable to
businesses which need to bill their customers based on the number of
pages printed. Without the printed pages variable, a worker would
have to manually keep track of the number of pages printed for each
customer. Now the printed pages variable will automatically create
their billing information and save them time and money.
· Memory/Speed -WordPerfect 6.0c frees up some additional
conventional memory, allowing overall program speed to increase.
· Graphic Image Display -Once you have the graphic image in your
document you can "turn off" the display of that image. This can save
time as you move graphics around and navigate the pages of the
document without the screen having to be redraw after every change.
· Fixes -A number of fixes have been made in WordPerfect 6.0c that
greatly increase the program's usability, as well as improve document
and graphic file conversions.
· PIN -In response to the top user enhancement request, WordPerfect
6.0c provides a place to store PIN in the WordPerfect Information
screen.
