My apologies on the scantiness of this, but I want to get this out before I go on vacation. There are a lot of new features not included in the documentation, most of them are _somewhat_ simple.
This is a beta version, and has the Futura font and Help files imbedded in the application. This will be remedied on the gold release.
If you wish, you can use Font/DA Mover to move the Futura font to your System Folder. If you do, be sure to create a font suitcase and manually move it to the System Folder, as Font/DA Mover will put it in your System File rather than the System 7 Font folder.
The Help section is currently included in the same file, but will be broken out into a separate file. It is also not up to date. There are probably a few "new" bugs due to changing the Master Headers and Footers cards to the Utility bg in preparation for some more sweeping indexing and sorting changes. Please email any problems you find with this version to the author at
murray.altheim@hq.nasa.gov
Note also that you can option-drag on the document (not window) zoom box, which brings up a popup menu to resize the application window.
