This manual was written by Eric Green on a Commodore 128 using Steve Punter's WordPro-128, and printed using a Star NX-10 printer and Xetec Supergraphix interface. The daisywheel printer used in previous renditions has been discarded because of its extremely slow speed, and its problems with dealing with ASCII characters (due to its Brother typewriter heritage). The general style of the manual is to use headings offset into the margins to denote each major topic. Areas that denote interaction with the BBS are offset to the right, with user-entered text underlined to differentiate it from things printed by the BBS. In our opinion, WordPro-128 is the most versatile word processor for the C-128. However, it has one rather pesky problem when dealing with illustrations.* It does not contain commands for a "floating" illustration area, thus our charts and tables are rather clumsily inserted. When we can afford to purchase a computer capable of supporting a real typesetting program such as Donald Knuthâs TeX program (which he used to typeset his masterpiece The Art of Computer Programming), such as an Amiga, that technical problem shall be resolved. |
