@PAL JUST = <B>DEL-SPAC.ARC<D> DEL-SP.EXE has been designed to allow
deleting of leading and/or trailing spaces in ASCII text files. Great
for pre-import to Ventura Publisher!
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>STYLIST.ARC<D> contains the Ventura Publisher<190>
utility product StyList<189> along with a twenty page manual in Ventura
Publisher 1.1 or 2.0 format. StyList is an interactive, window based
program that displays and edits style sheet files directly. Tags
are shown in a summary window. When selected for editing, major tag
attributes can be changed quickly and saved back to the original style
sheet. StyList can eliminate long waits for pull-down menus and screen
refreshes in Ventura Publisher. Both mouse and cursor oriented screen
navigation are provided. StyList automatically detects the type of
video card in use and works with style sheets from either version
1.1 or 2.0 of Ventura Publisher. <BI>(See the detailed review of
StyList on page 6)<D>

@ARTICLE PAL = <B>MEMO10.ARC<D> MEMO will accept a standard ASCII
text file or a WordStar file with no control codes and print it out
as a noticeable memo. The memo will appear on a PostScript device
connected to LPT1:. The first thing that makes memos generated with
this program noticeable is the word <B>``MEMO''<D> at the top of the
page in huge letters with a PostScript fountain running through them. The
next thing which is fairly obvious about such a memo is that the first
few lines are printed in large bold type... typically, this will say
who the memo is going to, where it came from, what it's about and
the date. You can optionally have a box drawn around each page. Multiple
page memos are printed without the huge MEMO header at the top of
the subsequent pages, but you can specify a heading for these pages.
You can have your memos automatically date stamped. You can have
the word <B>``CONFIDENTIAL''<D> appear across your memo.

@ARTICLE PAL = <B>PIC300.ARC<D> Pic-Edit Version 3.00 is a software
product that is designed to allow you to enhance or modify graphs
produced by Lotus 1-2-3 or Symphony, or other programs which generate
PIC files, such as Quattro by Borland International. With Pic-Edit,
you can perform all of the following: Add error bars to a graph,
Delete cross-hatching from bar graphs, Join together several graphs,
Overlay all or parts of one graph on top of another, Make pie graphs
with all or some of the pie slices in solid colors, Rotate bar graphs
to produce horizontal bar charts, Change the symbol shape or size
on line or X-Y graphs, Convert simple text files to PIC files, to
allow production of labels, signs, etc, Edit individual parts of a
graph, giving complete control as to the size, color, or position
of elements of the graph. New items can be added, or undesired items
can be deleted, Run the Lotus spreadsheet or PrintGraph directly from
Pic-Edit, Convert a PIC file into PostScript format. The graphs that
you enhance can be printed with the Lotus PrintGraph program, printed
on a PostScript printer, or they can be used in other programs which
read PIC files, such as Lotus Manuscript, Aldus Pagemaker, Xerox Ventura
Publisher, and others.
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>PICEM19B.ARC<D> PICEM is a general purpose picture
view program which also allows you to adjust the brightness and contrast
in your pictures and save them back out. PICEM works with: .PIC
images are PC Paint and PICTOR images. .PCX images are PC Paintbrush
format images. .GIF images are Graphics Interchange Format, a generalized
picture format supported by Compuserve.
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>WPDRAW.ARC<D> This is the first draft of what should
eventually be good viewer. It currently does not support every Word
Perfect graphic file function, but works with all bitmap and all the
vector files included with WP. Graphics text is not supported but
all other major functions are. Wpdraw was tested on Hercules but
should work on a CGA/EGA/VGA as well, the colours might look odd.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>SCOOP20.ARC<D> Scoop version 2.0 - MACSCOOP -
MacPaint reader. GEMSCOOP - GEM/IMG paint file reader. Recent improvements:
version 2.0: really slick file finder, supports subdirectories. Scoop
allows people with PCs to look at MacPaint or GEM/IMG pictures, depending
on which Scoop you're using. This isn't all that exciting, actually,
as there are lots of programs which will do this. The things which
make Scoop unspeakably, cosmically slick are: Machine language modules
to unpack the pictures. More machine language modules to stuff the
pictures into the screen. Automatic video card detection. Built in
printer support for HP LaserJet+ in four resolution modes, PostScript
devices and Epson FX-80. Automatic file extension modification. Help
screens 'n' stuff.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>GIF2WPG.ARC<D> GIF2WPG V3.0 GIF -to- Word Perfect
Graphics File Translator. The GIF2WPG program was created to allow
graphics files created as GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files
to be used in Word Perfect documents. To do this, the program translates
the GIF file into a WPG bit-mapped raster graphics file. In the process,
GIF2WPG converts the GIF image's colors into shades of gray, which
it tries to reproduce in the WPG image.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>TCAP10.ARC<D> TCAP is a simple utility to capture
text screens. However, it does so in a sort of weird way. The result
of a TCAP screen capture is a GEM/IMG image file which looks like
the text that was on the screen when you set the thing off. In other
words, you get a graphic paint box file with your text painted on
it. There's an actual reason for this, oddly enough. Desktop publishing
programs... like the redoubtable Ventura... like to inhale graphic
files and pour them into documents. They're less use with straight
text screens, which, at best, they like to regard as text. TCAP allows
you to include screen captures in your documents and have them actually
look like screens. Aside from just capturing your screen as graphics,
TCAP preserves the screen attributes as best it can. As such, if you
snaffle a complex application screen, the picture that results from
it will actually have all the bold, reverse and so on that was in
the original.
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>VFM12.ARC<D> VENTURA FONT MACHINE version 1.2. This
program is a reasonably painless, menu driven front end to create
width tables for LaserJet soft fonts used with Ventura Publisher.
It's intended to drive Ventura when it's used with a Hewlett Packard
LaserJet Plus compatible printer... it won't be any use with a PostScript
device, and may have some troubles with JLaser boards and other oddities.
@ARTICLE PAL =
@ARTICLE PAL = <B>FONTNAME.ARC<D> Master Font File Renamer for First
Publisher. Fontname is a short program written in Turbo Pascal 5.0
using Technojock Turbo Toolkit. The program has one simple purpose:
easily accessing all possible FONT files available before entering
First Publisher. As you know, First Publisher requires that one FONT
be named MASTER.FNT. If you have several such files, you have awkwardly
rename the original then rename the one you want. This program allows
you to pick from the font files, select it and automatically have
it renamed MASTER.FNT.

@ARTICLE PAL = <B>DIGIFONT.ARC <D><N> Digi-Fonts FontMaker **Demo**
This archive contains all the files on the DIGI-FONTS DEMO disk. DIGI-FONTS
is a HP LaserJet font generator not entirely unlike SWFTE's GLYPHIX. From
outlines it will generate to order any number of sizes, weights, slants,
etc. This demo will generate and download fonts in these faces: a
Palatino roman clone, a Palatino italic clone, a script clone, and
a funky sans-serif clone like Geo or Bauhaus. On a scale of 10 where
Bitstream is a 9.5 and the Glyphix fonts range between 5 and 8, these
fonts appear to range between 6.5 and 8.5. The demo will not save
font files for editing, but you can download to order for use indefinitely. I
call that a pretty practical and generous demo! Obviously, DIGI-FONTS
hopes that the quality of their fonts and the inconvenience of no
files will induce you to pay their modest purchase price for the full
program, which does save files to disk (where you can edit away any
little flaws which bother you with a font editor). The basic generator
is $69.95 and comes with 8 faces. They sell additional faces at $29.95
per disk of 8 or 10 faces, or a library of over 250 more faces for
$350. <188>
