- --------------------------------------------------------
- 1. WELCOME TO "SUPER WP" - THE UNIVERSAL WORD PROCESSOR!
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- "Super WP" is a full-featured word processor which can be
- configured to "act like" several well-known word processors in
- the market. This shareware version has a default configuration of
- WordPerfect 5.x (tm) and can read (and optionally write)
- WordPerfect file formats. In order to make another configuration
- (e.g. WordStar), please refer to the setup function.
-
-
- ---------------
- 1.1 EASY TO USE
- ---------------
-
- On startup you will be confronted with a symbol-based menu
- containing all basic word processing functions. There are two hot-
- keys in the system (<F3> and <F9>) which lead you to a variety of
- word processing features. This user interface has been a great
- success because even users inexperienced with word processors can
- get started immediately! Experienced users, however, can still
- use the function keys they are familiar with.
-
-
- -----------------
- 1.2 MOUSE SUPPORT
- -----------------
-
- If a mouse is installed, you will get a system main menu by
- pressing left button while positioned in the upper left corner of
- the screen.
-
-
- --------
- 1.3 HELP
- --------
-
- To get help, first press the <F3>-key (can be reconfigured) to
- get the symbol-based main menu. From there, point at the help-
- symbol and press <Enter>. You will find the help function of
- "Super WP" more advanced than many tutorials. Initially more than
- 160 functions are available in two screen pictures. Simply select
- a function by using the arrow-keys and press <Enter> to get
- further information. Press <Enter> once again and the selected
- function will be performed, or alternatively press <Space> to
- return to the help-function.
-
- By pressing an alphabetic key (A-Z) you will get a display of all
- available functions and related function keys starting from the
- depressed key.
-
-
- --------------------------
- 1.4 CARDFILE AND MAILMERGE
- --------------------------
-
- "Super WP" contains a built-in cardfile system (select the card-
- file symbol and press <Enter>). Enclosed you will find a few
- cardfiles, such as "address", "clients" and "records" for
- demonstration purposes. Refer to the setup-section for further
- information about how to create your own cardfiles.
-
- You can merge any cardfile with a document by following these
- simple steps:
-
- 1. Selecting a cardfile:
- Select "Open File" in the cardfile system.
- 2. Inserting merge items in your document:
- Press <F9> and select symbol "Merge Items".
- 3. Printout:
- Use option 7 "Merge With a Cardfile"
-
-
- --------------------
- 1.5 PERSONAL MANAGER
- --------------------
-
- If you have more than one appointment per day, the built-in
- "Personal Manager" function might probably be what you need! It
- contains a full-size calendar, calculator, day planner and more.
-
-
- ----------------
- 1.6 SYSTEM SETUP
- ----------------
-
- "WPsetup" is a separate program that can be called from "Super
- WP" (Press <F3> and select "Setup"). In certain configurations
- there might be problems calling the setup program. If your system
- fails to enter the setup program, please run "WPsetup" as a
- separate program (exit "Super WP" and type "wpsetup" at the
- prompt).
-
- In "WPsetup" you may select printers, keystrokes, screen layouts,
- cardfiles, etc. If none of your alternatives exists, you may
- create your own setup for printer, keystrokes and cardfile.
-
-
- --------------------------------------
- 1.7 INSTALLATION -- HOW TO GET STARTED
- --------------------------------------
-
- "Super WP" is distributed on four 5 1/4" diskettes. First insert
- the number one diskette in drive A: and type "install" at the
- "A:>"-prompt. Follow up by answering simple questions and the
- installation will be completed in a short time.
-
- However, this easy-to-use installation may not work with certain
- configurations. If the installation process fails, please use the
- batch-file "binstall.bat" (type "binstall" at the "A:>"- prompt).
- In this case "Super WP" will always be installed in subdirectory
- "C:\SWP".
-
- To start "Super WP", type "WP" wherever you are in MS-DOS.
-
- Before your system is fully operational, you have to select a
- printer that will go with your system. Press <F3>, select the
- "Printer" symbol and press <Enter>. You will then get the menu
- "Print Options". Select option "8 - Select printer". If your
- printer is not listed, it might well be compatible with another
- printer in the list. Laser printers are often compatible with "HP
- LaserJet..." and matrix printers with "IBM Graphics...",
- "IBM ProPrinter", or one of the "Epson" printers.
-

-
- --------------------------
- 2. THE SHAREWARE PRINCIPLE
- --------------------------
-
- Shareware is one alternative to the increasingly high price of
- commercial software. Good software is made available for a
- limited test period to users for their evaluation. Once that test
- period is over, you should determine if you think the program is
- useful. If you use the program, you should send the requested
- contribution to the author of the program. Otherwise, you should
- delete the software from your machine. This software is not
- intended as a "freebie". Just as you work hard for a living and
- do not want people taking advantage of you by not paying you for
- your work, this is our occupation and it takes a TREMENDOUS
- amount of time, money, energy, and effort. If software authors
- are not reimbursed for their work, they will eventually quit
- writing for the shareware public.
-
-
- ----------------------------
- 2.1 SINGLE USER REGISTRATION
- ----------------------------
-
- On the opening screen of "Super WP", our name, address, phone
- number, and requested registration price of $99 is displayed.
- The phone number is only provided for use in registering your
- copy or for REGISTERED users to call for phone support. We
- cannot give extensive phone support to unregistered users. If
- you have a question or a problem, we will try to help you, but
- if you do not intend to register your copy, please do not call.
-
- Registered users receive the latest version, a complete, printed
- manual and a speller thesaurus of 220,000 words.
-
-
- ------------------
- 2.2 CORRESPONDENCE
- ------------------
-
- If you wish to make any comments or suggestions, we recommend
- that you send us a fax or a letter rather than phone so that we
- can keep a record. If you are not a registered user and you wish
- a response to your letter, please send a self-addressed, stamped
- envelope (SASE).
-
-
- ------------------------------------------
- 2.3 CORPORATE & MULTIPLE COPY REGISTRATION
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Registration is based on the number of users using the program
- and the number of systems that the program is installed on. What
- this means is that the single-user registration fee of $99 does
- NOT register an entire user group, business, school district, or
- any other multiple user/computer organization. For cases like
- these, we have quantity pricing, as follows:
-
- Number of machines/users Discount
- 5 - 10 10%
- 11 - 20 15%
- 21 - 50 20%
- 51 + Call or Fax
-
- Site licenses & bundling/resale agreements are also available.
- Please call for more information.
-
-
- -----------------------
- 2.4 UNREGISTERED COPIES
- -----------------------
-
- All unregistered copies of "Super WP" display a registration
- information screen every time the program is started. When
- you register yourself you will receive the latest registered
- program version along with a complete printed manual, as well as
- a speller thesaurus of more than 220,000 words. Registered copies
- do not display the registration information on startup.
-
-
- ----------------
- 2.5 REGISTRATION
- ----------------
-
- Checks, money orders, and purchase orders are welcomed. We also
- accept Mastercard and Visa.
-
- If registering by mail, please send your name and address printed
- clearly along with a check or money order for the registration
- fee. When ordering outside of the United States, please make
- certain that your account is on a US bank in US funds. For
- overseas orders, please add $10.00 for airmail delivery.
- Otherwise, we have to send it by boat (and you know how long that
- can take!).
