--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.

MEMORY USAGE
------------
WordStar requires a minimum TPA size of 50 kbytes to run
using the factory defaults. 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.

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:

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.

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.
