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. DOC FILE CONTENTS COPYRIGHT ....................................
