- Welcome to the second electronically distributed issue of IYM Software Review!
-
- Published monthly since November 1989, IYMSR is devoted to providing practical,
- useful information about applications and utilities software. No benchmark
- tests timed to thousandth-of-a-second accuracy, no overblown and under-helpful
- full page graphics, just real information: how long will it take to learn it?
- how much disk space does it take up? what does it do to the rest of my system?
- how much RAM do I REALLY need to run it?
-
- We're very proud to provide this service to you through this bulletin board,
- and we hope you'll find it as useful as the six thousand loyal print media
- subscribers are always telling us it is.
-
- At this time, we provide IYMSR as a series of full page WordPerfect files. To
- help you view the files exactly as they appear in the printed version, we've
- enclosed a customized printer driver - IYMSR.PRS. Designate it as your current
- printer driver in WordPerfect 5.0 or later, and simply "print to screen";
- that is, use the Shift-F7 combination, then choose option 6. IYMSR will pop up,
- and you'll have the best and most current information about the world of
- IBM-PC and compatible software before you, FREE. Nothing's left out.
-
- If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to
- address them directly to me, on this BBS, under the name Jeff Yablon. I'll
- respond, IYMSR will respond, and after you read a few issues of our publication,
- you'll be sure that when the time comes, YOU'LL be able to respond.
-
- Don't have WordPerfect? Give a holler, and we'll try to work something out for
- you!
-
- Enjoy -
-

-
- Please note: if you are using WordPerfect 5.1, you'll need to convert the
- supplied printer driver to that version's format. To do so, simply enter
- the command "ptr/convert iymsr.prs" at the DOS prompt, with WordPerfect's
- PTR.EXE printer manipulation file and IYMSR.PRS both in the directory from
- which you issue the command, or indicated by you, manually. Because of
- differences in the line and character spacing algorithms between 5.0 and 5.1,
- you'll still not get a perfect match; most often, this will manifest itself as
- printing all of the page on about 95% of the space. We apologize for this
- inconvenience, and assure you that we're working with WordPerfect Corp. on a
- solution. In the meantime, for a perfect match of what print subscribers see,
- try to use version 5.0.
