- Here's the planned skeleton of the minimanual we're planning to
- enclose with the 2.0 CD. I'd appreciate any suggestions, from new
- users describing what puzzles them or from veterans remembering what
- they wish they'd known at first.

- The first and biggest section is the how-to. These pages are numbered
- 1-20, but they have been expanding as I've worked on them so the
- how-to section will actually take up more than 20 of the 32 pages.
-
- 1 What is Executor? Capabilities, limitations, platforms, where to
- get full information
-
- 2 Installing Executor on different platforms
-
- 3 Mouse/cursor movement
-
- 4-5 Opening volumes and programs; using demos -- windows, folders, files
- [several screenshots of desktop in different states here]
-
- 6-9 Installing Mac software from floppies/CDs, downloaded stuff
- [screenshots of opening a floppy icon, starting an installer,
- moving a "text" file from DOS filesystem, menu to set file
- creator/type]
-
- 10-11 Mac utilities provided w/Executor
- [screenshot of UnStuffit in action, maybe one of BinHex]
-
- 12 Mac file system -- different forks; 7.3 limitation if stored in DOS
-
- 13 Making HFV files
-
- 14 Formatting disks -- cannot do low-level format but can put blank
- Mac filesystem onto preformatted high-density disk
-
- 15 copying/moving -- dragging and HFS_Xfer
- [screenshots of dragging an icon and of the HFS_Xfer panel]
-
- 16-17 Panels -- preferences panel, pref files
- [screen shot of pref panel]
-
- 18-20 Command line switches
-
-
- The last bit will be troubleshooting for the most common problems.
- There will certainly be a section on how to get Executor to see floppy
- drives, but other than that this is still fairly open (the engineers
- have already fixed some other things I was planning on including).
- There will be tips on settings for Windows, Win95, and OS/2.
