- Q. What's new with 5.61??
- A. This is simply a version compiled under the latest version of
- the development language, Visual Basic 3.0.
-
- Q. What is it?
- A. Printer's Apprentice is a font management utility for the Windows
- 3.1 operating environment. It helps you manage all your TrueType
- and Adobe Type 1 fonts by printing inventory sheets (3 flavors!),
- ANSI charts, keyboard layouts, and specimen sheets. It was noted
- as the *BEST* Windows font utility by PC Magazine (10/27/92) and
- features one of the sharpest interfaces around.
-
- Q. So... What's New with 5.6?
- A. Printer's Apprentice has been built with a faster compiler,
- works better with TrueType, has a sharper interface, faster
- loading and printing, and two more new font inventory sheets,
- font file inventory lists, it now tells you which fonts are
- TrueType, ATM, etc... New "Instant Help" tells you exactly what
- each screen and toolbox item does.
-
- Q. How do I install this program real quick?
- A. Unzip the PA56.ZIP to a new diskette or directory and run
- INSTALL.EXE. This will decompress the files and copy them
- to the right places on your hard drive.
-
- Q. How do I remove the program if I need more space on my machine?
- A. There is a file named INSTALL.LOG located in the PA directory. This
- lists out *every* file and program manager group added to your system.
-
- Q. What happened to the documentation file?
- A. Everything has been placed in a Windows help file. Just click
- the Help menu item or the question mark icons...
-
- Q. How do I purchase this program?
- A. We can only take orders with personal checks. Do *NOT* send cash,
- even if you are in another country. For foreign orders, please use
- a postal money order or a bank check drawn on US dollars. Pricing
- is as follows.

- Q. What is the upgrade policy?
- A. When you register, I will send you a code and a certificate. Upon release
- of major upgrades, I will notify you with a post card. The cost of
- duplication and mailing has gotten out of hand, so upgrades will cost
- a nominal $5 if you need a new diskette. Or you can wait to find the
- program on a local BBS. The codeword will always work for future
- editions.
-
- Q. Anything else?
- A. Yes! I am always open to suggestions! This software is made for
- anyone who cares about type. Designers, DTPers, layout artists,
- print shops, publishers, etc, this sofware is for you. If you have
- any suggestions, spec sheet ideas, interface notes, let me know.
- 75% of the improvements in this release came from users. This
- is your program! It is easiest to reach me at home, after 7pm EST.
