--THE README FILE-- ------------------------ README contains late-breaking news and tips about WordStar, and information about printers. THE DISKS THAT CAME IN YOUR PACKAGE ----------------------------------- The file HOMONYMS.TXT is included on the Speller disk contrary to what is listed in Appendix D. INSTALLATION ------------ WINSTALL and WSCHANGE WordStar has two installation programs: o WINSTALL contains the basic choices to install WordStar. It is recommended for all users. Be sure and install your valid disk drives since WordStar running under CP/M cannot recover from attempts to access non- existent disk drives. o WSCHANGE contains every installation and customization choice. It is designed for advanced users and users who want to customize WordStar after they're familiar with it. Use the menu listing below for a directory of the menus in WSCHANGE. Directory of WSCHANGE Menus The chart below shows the organization of menus in WSCHANGE. Print it out and refer to it as you customize WordStar.

The TPA is the amount of memory available in your computer for use by programs that have a file type of COM. To see how big the TPA is in your computer, press the question mark key (?) at the Opening Menu. The amount of memory required by WordStar can be reduced by approximately 3 kbytes if necessary. Use the WSCHANGE program to select the minimum memory configuration option. The menu will show you what capabilities are being reduced. WordStar uses a general-purpose buffer for a variety of tasks. WordStar allocates memory to this buffer for editing, for merge printing, and at the Opening Menu (see BFSIZE in PATCH.LST). The buffer used for editing is usually the most sensitive to a reduced TPA size. (You may be able to use the Opening Menu and print, but there may be insufficient memory for editing.) The merge print buffer is used only to hold merge print variable names and data. Increase it if you run out of memory while merge printing. The Opening Menu buffer is used primarily to hold the file directory, and for miscellaneous tasks. LOW-MEMORY INDICATOR IN STATUS LINE ----------------------------------- If the Low-Memory indicator appears in the status line, it means that WordStar was unable to complete some function. The most common symptoms are: the line number in the status line is wrong, or a paragraph alignment could not be completed. You may correct the line counter by saving your file, exiting WordStar, and re-loading your file. To correct the paragraph alignment, move your cursor to the point where paragraph alignment stopped, and then press ^B again. The reason this comes up is that WordStar was not able to fit a big enough chunk of text into memory at one time. When you first begin editing, WordStar uses the value from EDSIZE in the user area to determine the minimum amount of memory required for a page of text. The default is set for approximately a 55 line by 66 column page. If your page size is routinely larger than this, you may want to increase EDSIZE. Multiply the number of lines by the number of columns, and divide by 128. If the Low-Memory indicator comes on while printing, it is due to either the same reasons as for editing, or there is insufficient memory to print the text proportionally spaced. The amount of memory required depends on which printer driver you are using. If you aren't using the .PS ON dot command to turn proportional spacing on in your document, low memory won't be a problem. Also, WordStar uses more memory for merge printing than it does for regular printing (around 2.5 kbytes more). The Low-Memory indicator will also appear when a full disk error is encountered during editing. Treat the disk-full error as you would normally. RAM-RESIDENT PROGRAMS --------------------- RAM-resident programs, such as SmartKey, reduce the amount of working memory (TPA) that WordStar can use. The new features in WordStar, such as shorthand, may reduce the need for these RAM-resident programs, thus freeing memory for WordStar. ZCPR3 SUPPORT ------------- In order to enable the ZCPR facilities within WordStar, the user must use the Z3INS utility provided with ZCPR to install the address of the ZCPR "environment" into WordStar. The environment contains information that WordStar uses to support ZCPR-specific functions. Generally, the user should log onto the drive containing the file WS.COM, and issue the command: Z3INS SYS.ENV WS.COM The user should also run either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE to further install WordStar for ZCPR. However, this is not mandatory because the only thing that happens is that the WordStar sign-on says "ZCPR3," and the LGLUSR location in the user area is changed for a maximum user number of 31. (The normal default for LGLUSR is 15.) Once the user has installed WordStar for use with ZCPR, the user will be able to use the following ZCPR features: - A named directory may be used when logging onto a new drive/user. - A named directory may be used instead of a drive/user as part of any file name. - The drive/user always appears above file directories. (For CP/M only the drive letter is shown if the user number is zero.) - The directory name also appears above the directory if one has been defined for the currently logged drive/user. - If WordStar does not find its OVR files on the current drive and user, it will search the drives and user numbers in the ZCPR search path rather than using its standard search pattern. - WordStar installs itself as a ZCPR "shell" process which lets the user enter any legal ZCPR command when running a program. (CP/M can only run programs that are COM files.) OSBORNE USERS ------------- The command to change a hard carriage return to a soft carriage return (document mode) or to turn Auto-indent ON (nondocument mode) does not function on the Osborne because of a limitation in its BIOS. The following patch can be applied to change the command from ^^ to ^- (Ctrl-Hyphen): Using DDT or SID in the file WSMSGS.OVR: At 02DA replace 1E with a 1D At 02EF replace 1E with a 1D At 0359 replace 1E with a 1D At 06B2 replace 1E with a 1D At 06C9 replace 1E with a 1D At the system prompt type SAVE 53 WSMSGS.OVR For more information on how to use SID or DDT, see your CP/M reference guide. As always, be sure and apply the patch to a COPY of the file. INSTRUCTIONS FOR TWO FLOPPY DISK COMPUTERS ------------------------------------------ Do not remove the Program disk while you are using WordStar. The Printer Driver Library file (WSPRINT.OVR) on the WordStar program disk is much smaller than the Printer Driver Library file contained on the disk labeled PRINTER. Be sure to read the section in "Starting" that discusses the printer library file. RUN A PROGRAM ------------- Once you press R you can type the drive and user number for the program you want to run. You may run only .COM files. CCP commands, such as DIR cannot be used. INDEXING -------- Using StarIndex StarIndex 1.01 works with files created with this release of WordStar. "Can't Use That Printer" Message When WordStar creates an index or table of contents, it uses the printer drivers $INDEX and $TOC. If you created a smaller WSPRINT.OVR file, you may have left these drivers out. To return them to the file, copy the original WSPRINT.OVR file onto your disk. When you create a smaller file again, be sure to save these drivers. See Appendix C in the WordStar manual for a list of other drivers to save. SPELL CHECKING -------------- Dual floppy disk users: Unless you have sufficient room on your working WordStar program disk for the files TW.COM, SPELL.COM, MARKFIX.COM, REVIEW.COM and MAINDICT.CMP you will not be able to run a spell check from the Opening Menu. You will need to exit WordStar and replace the working WordStar program disk with the dictionary disk you created during installation. This disk should contain the files listed above. Make sure the disk in drive B has the file you want to spell-check. Follow the directions for running a spell check in The WORD Plus manual. UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS RELEASE --------------------------------- This release of WordStar contains many new features and commands. See the "What's New" booklet for a complete list. The following changes came in too late to be included in the documentation. Printer Patches Previous versions of WordStar treat most dot matrix printers and other non-daisy wheel printers as a DRAFT printer with a few patchable items. Because of this, many users have used these patches to be able to use certain features of their printers. Sometimes the patches have been quite extensive, and some users have many files that count on them. The printer drivers of WordStar Release 4, on the other hand, are very powerful. Almost every driver recognizes all the print controls and all the dot commands. In fact, if a document is written to be printed on one kind of printer, it is likely that it will also print fine on some other printer. However, if you want to use your existing files with WordStar 4, and those files rely on the user area being patched in a special way, you can probably do so by moving the patches into WordStar 4, and using the CUSTOM or SIMPLE printer driver. On the INSTALL disk is a program called MOVEPRN.COM that copies the printer driver portion of the previous release's user area into files that can be installed into Release 4 with the "auto patcher" feature. Copy the program MOVEPRN.COM onto the disk containing the WS.COM file for the previous version. Type MOVEPRN WS.COM FILE1.PAT FILE2.PAT MOVEPRN extracts the proper portions of the user area and writes them into two files that may then be used with the "auto patcher" feature of WSCHANGE. FILE1.PAT is to be used with the general patching menu (Choose E "Patching" on the WSCHANGE Main Menu, then A "Auto Patcher"). FILE2.PAT should be used to install strings first into the SIMPLE driver, and then into the CUSTOM driver (choose B "Printer" on the WSCHANGE Main Menu, then B "Printer driver library", D "Change printer driver data" and D "Driver auto patcher"). Test print your document first with the SIMPLE driver, and then with the CUSTOM driver to see which one produces the most satisfactory results. Also read Appendix C for more information on using the Auto Patcher. Hanging Indents For WordStar Professional Release 4, MailMerge reformats indented text created with ^OG to the current margins. If you want the text to remain indented, use embedded ruler lines or the .RM, .LM, and .PM commands. See the "Reference Guide" for more information. Pressing ^OG to wrap back to the first tab on the ruler line after having reached the last tab works the same way it did in previous versions of WordStar, contrary to what is stated in the manual. TERMINALS --------- WordStar comes installed for an "idealized" special terminal. WINSTALL and WSCHANGE allow you to install many terminals by name, thus allowing WordStar to take advantage of the special features that the terminal might support, such as underlining or the function keys. Use either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE to pick your specific terminal or computer screen from the Monitor menu. If your terminal isn't on the menu, it probably emulates one of those that is there. Look in your terminal documentation to find out. After you install WordStar for the proper terminal, run WordStar and open the file PRINT.TST to see which attributes (such as bold and underline) work on your screen. WordStar will highlight the following in some way... Bold (^PB) Underline (^PS) Strike-out (^PX) Subscript (^PV) Superscript (^PT) Doublestrike (^PD) Italics (^PY) Blocks (^KB, ^KK) Error messages Most of the time, normal text will be shown in dim intensity, and highlighted text will be shown in bright intensity. You may have to use a brightness and/or contrast knob to adjust your screen the first time you use WordStar this way. If your dim intensity is too dim to see well, and you can't adjust it, you can change the BRITE flag to ON using WSCHANGE. This will invert bright and dim in your text, so that regular text is displayed bright, and highlighted text will be displayed as dim. However, text in the menus is not affected. DISPLAY PROBLEMS WITH TERMINALS ------------------------------- Once you have installed WordStar for the proper terminal, you may still experience display problems. If text from the previous screen remains after WordStar displays a new screenful of text, the most likely cause is cursor wrap. Basically, WordStar must know what happens to the cursor when a character is displayed at the rightmost position of the screen. It can either remain at the right edge, or it can wrap to the beginning of the next line. The WRAP flag in WordStar must be set either on or off to correspond to the way the terminal works. (It is generally set for the terminal's factory default, but the default can usually be changed using the terminal's setup mode.) Another possible cause for display problems is your terminal's incomplete emulation of some other terminal. The most common differences are... Line insert (LININS), line delete (LINDEL), Erase to end of screen (ERAEOS), Erase to end of line (ERAEOL), And, erase screen (ERASCR). Look in the manual for your terminal and use WSCHANGE to see if the control sequences match. PRINTERS -------- WHAT'S IN THIS SECTION This section contains the following information: Choosing a Printer Setting Up Your Printer Printer Drivers Proportional Printing Laser Printers Information on Specific Printers CHOOSING A PRINTER WordStar is ready to work with over 100 printers. The printer you choose during installation becomes your default printer. However, when you print a document, you can choose any other printer. To choose a default printer, follow these steps: 1. Look at the Printer Information brochure that came in your package. The first chart shows the printers listed on the Printer Selection Menus. If your printer is on the menu, simply choose it during installation. 2. If your printer isn't listed on the menu, it may work like a printer that is. Refer to the second chart in the Printer Information brochure for a list of printers that work like printers on the menu. When WordStar asks you to choose a printer, choose the printer that works like yours. 3. If neither chart lists your printer, choose Typewriter Printer (if your printer can backspace) or Draft Printer (if it can't). These choices may not take advantage of all your printer's features, but they will work with almost any printer. Note: If you choose Draft or Typewriter, you can modify custom print controls and printer initialization. If you want to make more modifications to take advantage of your printer's feature, choose the Custom or Simple drivers, then use the WS Printer Patches section of WSCHANGE to tell WordStar the codes for your printer. Refer to your printer manual for these codes. Some printers work better with the Custom driver and some with the Simple driver. Try using both and see which works better with your printer. See the "Reference Guide" for more information. SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER Choosing a Printer Port Each printer is connected to a printer port at the back of the computer. WordStar looks for printers on the LST: port. If your printer is connected to a different port, use WSCHANGE to tell WordStar the correct port. Testing Your Printer Connection At the operating system prompt, type "PIP LST:=READ.ME." This file should be printed by your printer. If it is not, your printer may be connected to a different port. See your computer reference manual, and the section on the STAT command in your CP/M reference manual for more information. PRINTER DRIVERS The WSPRINT.OVR file on the Printers disk contains a printer driver for each printer on the Printer Selection Menu. The printer driver for a printer contains all the codes WordStar needs to work with that printer. Each printer driver has a short name. If you choose a printer when you print a document, you see the names of the printer drivers, not the names of the printers. PROPORTIONAL PRINTING WordStar supports proportional printing on a number of printers. To turn on proportional printing, either install WordStar to default to proportional printing, or place a ".PS on" command in your document. At print time, WordStar selects the appropriate proportional font based on the character width (.CW) currently in effect. The specific printer descriptions later in this section show recommended character widths for proportional typefaces. These widths are for a normal mix of upper- and lowercase letters. If you have many words or phrases all in uppercase or if you want your text less densely printed, choose a larger character width. While WordStar mostly sets character widths based on the proportional-width table in the driver, on the more advanced daisy wheel printers, WordStar uses the printer's proportional- spacing mode. WordStar determines how much white space is needed to right-justify the line based on its own proportional width tables. If the table values don't match the wheel installed, WordStar won't be able to justify the line correctly. WordStar sends standard ASCII characters; if a proportional wheel uses a different spoke mapping, set up the printer to handle this. LASER PRINTERS WordStar supports laser printer features such as font changes and proportional spacing. WordStar supports several laser printers: the Canon LPB-8 A1 & A2; the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, LaserJet+, and LaserJet 500+; and the Ricoh LP4080. Refer to the "Specific Printer Information" section of this file for information on these printers. General notes about using laser printers are given below. Paper Size and Margins Laser printers come with preset page margins. You need to compensate for these margins by changing page length in your WordStar documents. The chart below shows the recommended settings for 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper for both portrait and landscape orientations. These settings allow 55 lines of text for portrait orientation and 40 lines of text for landscape orientation (at 6 lines per inch). They also allow for a footer of up to 3 lines and a one-line header. If you use multiple-line headers, adjust the top margin accordingly. Dot Default Portrait Landscape Setting Command Value Orientation Orientation ------- ------- ------- ----------- ----------- page length .PL 66 62 47 top margin .MT 3 2 2 bottom margin .MB 8 5 5 header margin .HM 2 1 1 footer margin .FM 2 2 2 If the laser printer is your primary printer, you can use WSCHANGE to make these settings the defaults. Because laser printers leave small margins at the left and right sides of the page, you may want to use a smaller page offset setting (the default is .PO 8). Form Feeds When you print with a laser printer, answer Y for yes to the "Use form feeds (Y/N)?" prompt at print time. (The default is NO.) If the laser printer is your primary printer, you can use WSCHANGE to change the default to yes. WordStar Commands for Font Selection The WordStar dot commands and print control commands listed below determine the fonts used for printing a document. .PR .PR OR=L selects landscape orientation; .PR OR=P (or just .PR OR) selects portrait orientation (the default). If either of these commands appears after the first printing line on a page, the orientation will not change until the following page. .PS .PS ON selects proportionally spaced characters; .PS OFF (the default) selects fixed-spaced characters. .CW The character-width setting (.CW followed by the width in 120ths of an inch) determines the character pitch and font selected for fixed-width printing. For proportional fonts, it determines the point size and proportional-width table selected. .LQ .LQ ON selects near letter quality print (if supported by your printer). LQ OFF selects draft quality print. Default is ON. ^PY The italic print control toggles between normal and italic characters when the appropriate italic font is available. ^PB The boldface print control toggles between normal and bold characters when the appropriate bold font is available. ^PD The double strike print control used with the laser printers toggles overprinting with a horizontal offset of 1/120" between the two character images. This allows a bold effect where no bold font is available. ^PA ^PA turns alternate pitch on. Use .CW to assign different character widths to normal pitch (see ^PN below) and alternate pitch so that each pitch accesses a different font. You can then change fonts by switching between the two pitches. This is the only way to use two fonts on the same line. (See "Character width" and "Pitch" in the "Reference Guide.") ^PN ^PN turns normal pitch on. You can use it with ^PA as described above. ^P@ When working with columns, if you use alternate and normal pitch for two fonts, or if you use proportional spacing, you may need to use ^P@ to make sure the columns line up. Remember that the column position set with ^P@ is determined by the normal pitch character width. (See "Columns" and "Proportional spacing" in the "Reference Guide." INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC PRINTERS This section describes the capabilities of each printer listed on the Printer Selection Menu. The printers are listed in alphabetical order (except for the generic printers such as "Draft," "Typewriter," "Custom," "Simple," and the various print-to-disk options, which are listed first). There is a chart for each printer explaining how features work and listing any special notes about the printer. Each printer is described in the following format: PRINTER NAME ----- Driver: (short name) ^PY Effect of italics/ribbon color print control ^PT/V Subscript/superscript information .CW Information on available character widths and fonts. The chart shows the .CW, .LQ, and .PS settings required to use different fonts. .LQ OFF .LQ ON .PS ON Font Name ------- ------ ------ --------- .cw val .cw val recommended value (range) font 1 .cw val .cw val recommended value (range) font 2 .UL Continuous-underline information (if restrictions) .UJ Microspace-justification information (if restrictions) N/A means a command has no effect on this printer.

These strings are used by both the SIMPLE and CUSTOM drivers. They can be installed with the WSCHANGE program. .LQ Controlled by user area strings .PS Controlled by user area strings .CW N/A .UJ N/A .LH N/A NOTES This printer driver prints the line in one pass, sending control strings from the user area to select print enhancements. CUSTOMIZABLE PRINTERS ----- Driver: CUSTOM All print controls cause control strings (on and off) in the user area to be sent to the printer. These strings are used by both the SIMPLE and CUSTOM drivers. They can be installed with the WSCHANGE program. .LQ ON/OFF controlled by user area strings .PS ON/OFF controlled by user area strings .LH Sets line height only in multiples of full lines .UJ N/A .CW N/A NOTES This driver prints the line in multiple passes, sending control strings from the user area to select print enhancements. PREVIEW TO DISK ----- Driver: PRVIEW This driver prints documents to the PREVIEW.WS file to allow you to preview the format and appearance of a document before printing. Headers, footers, and pagination are shown correctly and print controls remain in the file to display onscreen attributes. Dot commands are not printed. PRINT TO DISK WITHOUT PRINT CONTROLS ----- Driver: ASCII This driver prints to the ASCII.WS file, stripping headers and footers, high bits, and print controls.

HEWLETT-PACKARD LASERJET PRINTERS The following information applies to the LaserJet, the LaserJet+, and the LaserJet 500+. For general information on laser printers, see the "Laser Printers" section above. The LaserJet Fonts The LaserJet has three different types of fonts: - The "internal" fonts that came with the printer - Plug-in cartridges - Soft fonts that must be downloaded through your computer. (Only the LaserJet+ and LaserJet 500+ can use downloaded fonts.) The fonts available in your LaserJet depend on which cartridge you have installed and which fonts you have downloaded. Font Installation Internal Fonts: The fonts that came with your printer are already in memory and ready to use. Different LaserJet models come with different sets of internal fonts. Cartridges: Cartridges containing a variety of character fonts can be inserted into any LaserJet model. See your printer manual for instructions. The font selection guidelines in the sections below contain information about specific cartridges. The letter that identifies your cartridge is on the front label, directly following the number 92286. For example, the Y cartridge is labeled 92286Y. Soft fonts: Soft, or downloadable, fonts are supplied on disk. These fonts are not explicitly supported by WordStar. LaserJet Font Selection Each LaserJet font has several characteristics associated with it. When a printer driver specifies font characteristics to the LaserJet, the LaserJet searches its available fonts for the best match to the characteristics requested. The following table describes these characteristics, in the order in which the LaserJet evaluates them when selecting a font. Characteristic WordStar Control -------------- ----------------- * Orientation (portrait or landscape) .PR OR=P/L * Symbol Set (Roman-8, USASCII, Printer driver Line Draw, etc.) * Proportional or fixed spacing .PS ON/OFF * Print pitch (fixed-width fonts) .CW * Character height (point size) .CW * Character style (upright or italic) ^PY * Stroke weight (light, medium, bold) ^PB Note that symbol set is high in the list of characteristics: make sure that the driver you select is compatible with the symbol set of your cartridge or downloaded fonts. The symbol sets used by each driver are listed in the table in the next section. For example, if your cartridge has the USASCII Symbol Set, you can't use the HPLJ:U driver because it uses only the Roman-8 Symbol Set. LaserJet Printer Drivers WordStar provides two printer drivers for use with different LaserJet font cartridges. Each of these drivers lets you print with several of the available fonts. You can use any of these drivers with the LaserJet, LaserJet+, or LaserJet 500+, depending on the cartridge. Refer to the table below to see which driver works best for you. The table lists the following information for each driver: o The symbol sets used for fixed and proportional spacing These must correspond to the symbol sets on the installed fonts you want to use. The "Default" symbol set refers to the one the LaserJet defaults to. o The proportional-spacing tables used by the driver These tables are part of the LaserJet's method of proportional spacing. The tables determine the width of each character in a proportionally spaced font. The fonts corresponding to these tables are used if available. If the corresponding font is not installed, the table is still used, and the closest available font is used. This may cause the spacing to appear too tight or too loose. In this column, the number is the point size, R stands for regular, B stands for bold, and I stands for italics (the LaserJet has separate tables for each of these). o The font cartridges that work best with the symbol sets and tables used by the driver The cartridges listed are the only ones directly supported for use with WordStar. If your cartridge is not listed, you may still be able to use it. Look at the font information below and try the most compatible driver. You may need to try different dot command settings or another driver. The HPLJET is the most "general purpose" driver, so if you're not sure which driver to use, try it first. Fixed-width Proportional Proportional Downloaded Driver Symbol Set Symbol Set Tables Fonts/Cartridges ------ ----------- ------------ ------------- ---------------- HPLJET Default Default TmsRmn 8R, F, P, most fixed 10R,10B,10I Helv 14B HPLJ:B Default USASCII TmsRmn 8R, B 10R,10B,10I Helv 14B HPLJ:U Roman-8, Roman-8 Helv 6R,8R, U, V Line Draw 10R,12R,14R HPLJ:Y PCSET1 USASCII TmsRmn Y, AC PCSET2 6,8,10,12,14 (all in R,B,I) 18B,24B,30B HPL:AD Roman-8, Roman-8 TmsRmn AD Line Draw 6,8,10,12,14 (all in R,B,I) 18B,24B,30B The printer driver charts below show the actual fonts that print with each printer driver and the recommended font cartridges. The charts show the fonts used for both fixed and proportional spacing and for different character width (.CW) settings. The recommended .CW settings are shown first. The settings in parentheses select the same font, but the spacing of characters within a line may appear tighter or looser. After the name of each font, the charts note whether regular (R), bold (B), and italic (I) fonts are available. If a bold font is not available, you can use the ^PD (double strike) command to get a boldface effect. The last column shows whether you can print in landscape (chosen in WordStar with .PR OR=L) as well as portrait orientation. To use a particular font, choose the settings listed. For example, to use the Times Roman 8 font with the HPLJET printer driver, insert the F cartridge, turn .PS on and set character width to .CW 7.
