To do this simply click once on the PageSetter disk icon (it should then be highlited). Then chose "Duplicate" from the WorkBench menu and follow the instructions. If you are working from the Command Line Interface (CLI) simply type: DiskCopy df0: to df0: (if you have a single drive system) or DiskCopy df0: to df1: (if you have an external 3 1/2" drive) and follow the instructions. Please note that PageSetter is distributed on a disk which is not copy protected. At GOLD DISK Inc. we believe that our customers should not have to suffer the inconveniences usually resulting from protection schemes. At the same time we are relying on you not to distribute copies of this disk. Remember that quality software development takes a lot of time and energy. Software "piracy" (read: theft) robs these software authors of the fruits of their labour. While the disk is being duplicated take the time to fill out the owner registration card. This will allow GOLD DISK to keep you informed about the latest changes and advances in PageSetter, as well as to provide you with good product support. GOLD DISK Inc. will also be periodically issuing a newsletter with application notes and suggestions. If you haven't sent in the registration card, we can't send this to you. To use PageSetter from the Workbench simply double click on the PageSetter icon. If you want to change a previously saved document then open the drawer containing the document (the drawer "Documents" is provided for this purpose) and click once on the document. Then while holding the SHIFT key down double click on the PageSetter icon. PageSetter will then run and the selected document will automatically be loaded into PageSetter. If you prefer to work from the Command Line Interface (CLI) you should click on the "System" drawer and the double click on the "CLI" icon. You can then run PageSetter by typing "PageSetter" followed by RETURN or by typing "PageSetter docname" to automatically load a document. Note that you should include the directory name in "docname" to ensure that the system knows where to find it. If you would like PageSetter to boot up to the CLI automatically simply rename s:CLI_startup-sequence to startup-sequence after renaming startup-sequence to some other unique name in case you later want PageSetter to boot under WorkBench. As a reference we provide here a list of the files on the disk and a short description of their function. PageSetter - This is the main Page Layout program. The operation of PageSetter in described in detail in the PageSetter User's Guide. PagePrint - This is a utility program which will allow you to print documents saved by PageSetter without the need to run PageSetter itself. Since PagePrint is a much smaller program, this will allow you to easily print a document while running other applications. Run this program in exactly the same way you would run PageSetter. PageIFF - This is another utlity program which will output your document in the form of an IFF graphics file. Each page of the document will be put into a seperate file with the name ".IFFpage###" where is the name of the document and ### is the page number within the document. Note that these files can be relatively large (up to 95,000 bytes for a 8.5" x 11" page), if they are too large they may not be able to be read by all Amiga graphics programs. Click_Me - This file. Preferences - The WorkBench Preferences program. Use this to change the preferences to allow the Amiga to use your printer. The disk is supplied with the Epson printer driver set up so if you have another printer you shold run this program before printing any douments. In addition to these program files, the following drawers are present on the disk: Documents - This drawer is set up to contain your documents. PageSetter will automatically look here for documents if you do not auto-load a document. ClipArt - This drawer contains the ClipArt supplied with PageSetter. The graphic editor will automatically look here for your ClipArt unless to tell it otherwise. The ClipArt is supplied on 13 screens lised below. See the PageSetter User's Guide for reproductions of these ClipArt files. celebrate circles critters flowers food holidays misc misc 2 sports toys xmas xmas 2 amiga.pic fonts - This drawer contains the fonts which PageSetter uses.
