Addendum to PSFont w/ Bonus: WStrip Release date: November 30th 1989 Revision date: January 22nd 1990 BEFORE STARTING! IF executing from floppy, the "PSFontAssign" icon should be double-clicked. Permanent installation on hard drive is recommended. Things you should know about the TASS version: TASS requires ARexx to operate. When ARexx is installed a simple double-click on the "startup" icon in the TASS directory on this disk will setup TASS for you. After startup is executed, double-click on the PSFont or WStrip icon in the TASS directory. And the corresponding TASS screen will appear. On the right side there is a box with a scroller gadget on the side. This box displays the fontlists you have defined. To select a listfile click it. In the center column there are these commands: Install - A custom Dirtool pops-up that allows you to select multiple files, this option is very similar to the PSInstall command in the Workbench section of the manual. Delete - This option deletes the listfile that is currently selected in the fontlist window. Download - This option downloads the listfile you have selected in the fontlist window. If you have selected a output file instead of serial or parallel this option will download to that file. Directory - Clicking on this box sends a command to the printer or output file to output a directory of the fonts currently on your printer. Reset - THIS WILL RESET YOUR PRINTER (* CAUTION *). Losing all DOWLOADED fonts. Quit - This option quits out of the program. Underneath the fontlist window there are three buttons: Parallel - Sets the output setting to which the listfiles are downloaded to PARALLEL. Serial - This sets the output setting to SERIAL. Disk - This sets the output to DISK. In the top right corner of the tass screen, there is a gadget that flips the tass screen to the background. This is INVISIBLE click for it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WStrip TASS version: The TASS version of WStrip looks similar to the TASS version of PSFont. In the middle column there are the following commands: Filter Dots - This switch toggles between not filtering Dot commands and filtering them. Filter Colons - This switch toggles between not filtering Colon commands and filtering them. Strip - This switch toggles between not stripping, stripping WP(tm), stripping WS(tm), format codes. Change <.ext> - This option gives you a requestor where you can type in what you want the extension on your processed files to be. PROCESS - This option runs the WStrip program on all selected files using current settings. Quit - This quits out of the program. Below the SelectedFiles window there is another window labeled CurrentSettings. The first three lines of the CurrentSettings window shows what you want WStrip to do to your input file. The fourth line of the CurrentSettings window is your current extension. The current extension is with what extension WStrip will output your file. The extension command is documented in our WStrip manual.

Errors in our manuals include: In the PSFont manual: On the 6th page (with "Other Workbench Options" at top) Under the heading "What's in the List File?" It didn't turn out as clear as we meant it, we think inserting a comma on the first line after the "creates" would make things a bit clearer. That first line means that "When you run the PSInstall program, it creates a list file, and in this list file there is a list of files (simply contains a sequence of file names)." In the WStrip manual: On the inside, rightmost page Under the heading "Extension" Second example should read: EXTENSION = .usefull (NOT) EXTENSION = .usefult That is about all for now. Note: We mentioned there are two ways of getting the MS-DOS files copied over to AmigaDOS format diskettes. As of today we are aware of one more method of transfering the files, that is using Cross-Dos(tm) by Consultron. A "tryware" version is available on Fred Fish disk #240.
