@ARTICLE HELV = STDEC1.ARC<D> DECORATIVE MEDALLIONS in PC Paintbrush clip form. The file STDEC1.ARC contains 26 digitized decorative medallions. These medallions nicely set off stories or paragraphs and can be used to fill white space at the bottom of unbalanced columns. The decorative medallions are in PC-Paintbrush PCC format suitable for use with VENTURA, PAGEMAKER, WORDPERFECT 5.0, and other programs that accept art in the PCC/PCX format. These medallions have been scanned at 300-dpi, and processed by hand to remove irregularities. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = STLTR1.ARC<D> ORNATE CAPITAL LETTERS in PC Paintbrush clip form. The file STLTR1.ARC contains digitized ornate capital letters, in a face reminiscent of ITC Garamond on a floral surround typical of fifteenth century Italian or French initials. This set of decorative letters is in PC-Paintbrush PCC format suitable for use with VENTURA, PAGEMAKER, WORDPERFECT 5.0, and other programs that accept art in the PCC/PCX format. These letters have been scanned at 300-dpi for excellent clarity, and processed by hand to remove irregularities. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = STLTR2.ARC<D> ORNATE CAPITAL LETTERS in PC Paintbrush clip form. The file STLTR2.ARC contains digitized ornate capital letters, in a shadowed ornate roman serif face. The letters are interwoven into a pictorial background typical of twelfth century European initials. Note that letters F, G,J,Q,U, and W were not in the original set of masters and are not included. This set of decorative letters is in PC-Paintbrush PCC/PCX format suitable for use with VENTURA, PAGEMAKER, WORDPERFECT 5.0, and other programs that accept art in the PCC format. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = STSAMPLE.ARC<D> This is the sampler archive for the three previous archives. It contains one sample from each ARC as follows: @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = BLDFONT.ARC<D> BUILDFNT - A Laser Printer Utility. BUILDFNT is a utility program that converts bit-map character fonts stored on disk to a form usable by the HP LaserJet Series II printer. Each bit-map character font can be converted to fixed or proportional, portrait or landscape through BUILDFNT options. If you are using these fonts with other software, such a word processor or a page layout program, you may need to describe the fonts to the other software. Ideally, the other software should read the HP soft font format. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = IMGCUT.ARC<D> IMGCUT version 1.0 Copyright <189> 1988 Alchemy Mindworks. This is a simple little beast to allow cropping small images out of big images. It will read in a GEM/IMG picture file and display it on your screen. If the original file is larger than one screen, you can scroll up and down with the PgUp and PgDn keys. There'll be a cursor on the screen which will move if you use the arrow keys or move faster if you use the shifted arrow keys. When the cursor is in the upper left corner of the area of the image you want to crop out, hit HOME. The cursor will vanish and a reversed out area will appear. Use the cursor keys to adjust its size until it covers the area you want to crop out. When the whole area you want to crop has been reversed out, hit END. The area will be written to a disk file and the program will quit. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = PSFX.ARC<D> Postscript to Epson FX85 emulator. Many people are astonished to find that after spending $3,000 to $5,000 on a Postscript laser printer that 90% of existing programs do not support Postscript commands nor do 90% of postscript printers have emulation protocols for a standard Epson printer. So our fancy, expensive Postscript printers end up being an expensive piece of hardware capable of doing nothing more than printing Postscript. I recently found a program which sounded too good to be true! It is called PSFX. Now we do not have to find a substitute for our favorite accounting package or spreadsheet. ANY program that supports an EPSON FX-85 printer will now print to a Postscript laser printer. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = SCOOP16.ARC<D> Scoop version 1.6 - MacScoop and GemScoop. MacPaint reader and GEM IMG paint file readers. 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. No overlays or other external files to keep track of. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = FONTC.ARC <D> Font Creator is a program that allows you to create and edit both Macintosh and PFS:First Publisher fonts for use in PFS:First Publisher. We created this program out of the need to acquire additional fonts for PFS:First Publisher. We wanted to be able to change good typefaces into spectacular ones and create distinctive type styles. This is a demonstration version of Font Creator. You can edit the demo font (DEMO.WRK) and you can create your own font which will be saved in Font Creator File format and can be translated in to PFS:First Publisher format when you order the full program. @ARTICLE HELV = POST12.ARC <D>POST release 1.2. Reads data from the standard input device, converts it to Postscript format, then writes the data to the standard output device. This new release has been upgraded to allow the user to control the printing parameters such as top, bottom, left margins, font style, and leading. Options for scaling, rotating, and translation are also provided. Commandline format is: @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = POST [option value(s) ... option value(s) ... ]<D> @ARTICLE HELV = << input.filename >> output.filename<D> @ARTICLE HELV = @OPT TITLES = <BU>OPT<D> <BU>VALUE(s)<D> <BU>DEFAULTS<D> @OPTIONS = L left margin in points L 54 @OPTIONS = T top print position in points T 720 @OPTIONS = B bottom print limit in points B 54 @OPTIONS = P typeface size in points P 12 @OPTIONS = D vertical line spacing in points D 12 @OPTIONS = F selected font for printing F Courier @OPTIONS = S x and y scaling multipliers S 1.0 1.0 @OPTIONS = X x and y page translation points X 0 0 @OPTIONS = R page rotation angle in degrees R 0 @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = PICEM19.ARC<D> PICEM is a general purpose picture viewing program that allows you to adjust the brightness and contrast in your pictures and save them back out to disk. PICEM works with .PIC (PC Paint and PICTOR), .PCX (PC Paintbrush), and .GIF (Graphics Interchange Format - Compuserve) image files. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = PSUTILS.ARC<D> This archive contains three files of interest to Postscript printer users. <MI>EHANDLER.PS<D> is a downloadable Postscript file that will redefine the default error handling on a Postscript printer. In addition to providing error-handling on the printer back to the host, it will also cause the current page to be printed including the Postscript error along with the offending command, and operand stack trace. <MI>TIMEPAGE.PS<D> will do accurate tests for Postscript jobs. It may be used when optimizing your Postscript driver for determining where processing time is spent. <MI>UARTPAT2.PS<D> fixes an obscure bug in version 23.0 of the Postscript interpreter used by the Apple Laserwriter driver. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = QA-1.ARC QA-2.ARC QA-3.ARC & QA-4.ARC<D> @ARTICLE HELV = These are Ventura-formatted chapters that contain questions and answers from the Xerox Customer Support department. All kinds of topics are covered from fonts and WID tables to formatting and TAGs and many other problems encountered by actual Ventura users. The answer to your Ventura Publisher problem(s) is probably already in here! @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = TDOC693C.ARC, TDOC794C.ARC, and TDOC853C.ARC <D> These archives contain fully-produced Ventura Publisher documents that were originally marketed by BCA Desktop Designs as part of their Designer Style Sheet Portfolio. These are technical documentation style sheets that use a complex 3-column/1-column design. Tags are used to control roll over from single column to multiple column format. Very complex and designed for power users. The sample chapters include full documentation for all tags and examples of their usage. Vertical tabbed tables in several formats are supported and well documented. These are an EXCELLENT learning tool for any Ventura user. Created and donated by Gene Rodrigues, SYSOP of the Ventura Professional! Forum, the official bulletin board system of the Ventura Publisher Users Group. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = SCRIPTS.ARC<D> Here's an entire HP soft font family of script typefaces in .SFP (portrait) format. Point sizes included are 12, 14, 18, and 36. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = V11_ZCMI.ARC<D> Adobe Postscript screen fonts for the Zapf Chancery Medium Italic typeface. These are EGA (75-dpi) resolution and include the following sizes; 10, 12, 14, 18, 24, and 36-point. Simply place them in your \VENTURA directory and you can now SEE what the Zapf Chancery typeface really looks like. @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV = VPDOC.ARC<D> This is the ``missing'' index and table of contents for the Xerox Ventura Publisher Referrence manual that comes with Ventura. <188> @ARTICLE HELV = @ARTICLE HELV =
