Typesetter PC is a page layout program that gives you WYSIWYG
capability in designing a single page and prints it out in the
highest resolution achievable on a 9-pin dot matrix printer.
Fonts and graphics can be mixed anywhere on the page. Fonts can
be italicized, inversed, made bold and more. A fully featured
graphics program including such tools as pencil, k-line, circle,
rectangle and spline is part of Typesetter PC. There are many
onscreen help menus that list these functions. The manual
(TYPESET.DOC) has a detailed description of all the functions.
We have released CGA version 1.8 and Hercules version 1.7 of
Typesetter PC as shareware. These versions allow you to use
proportionally spaced fonts as well as flip and inverse sections
of the Typesetter page.
The Shareware version of Typesetter PC is a fully functioning
program. XLENT has distributed it on two disks so that we can
include as many fonts as possible. To make a working copy of
Typesetter PC for system, please do the following:

Q: Why isn't there a screen capture utility for the Hercules
version?
A: HBEAM is the Hercules version equivalent to the CBEAM screen
capture utility. When we decided to distribute Typesetter PC as
shareware, we wanted to fit everything on 2 disks without having
to compress any files since we personally dislike having to
uncompress files to try out software we might not like. All the
extra utility files wouldn't fit, so we opted to distribute the
ones we thought everyone would use. We've put together a disk of
extra Typesetter utilities, including HBEAM, that we will send to
registering users. Other utilities include conversion from
Typesetter format to PC Paintbrush format and vice versa, and
print pages to HP Laserjet and Prowriter printers. If you're not
ready to register, we'll send you this utility disk for $5.00.
When you decide to become a registered user for $30.00, we'll
give you a $5 credit.
Q: Why does Typesetter lockup when I try to run it?
A: Typesetter PC is designed to run without memory resident
utilities installed. Boot your system up with just DOS and then
run Typesetter.
Q: Why doesn't my mouse work?
A: The mouse is only active when you are in the Graphics mode.
Typesetter PC is using the mouse drivers built into the
Metawindow software. If you can't get your mouse to work using
the menu choices, try this if you are running the CGA version.
1. Load in the mouse driver.
2. Load in Typesetter using the batch file.
3. Select F7, the 'NO Mouse' option fom the mouse menu.
Your mouse should now work when in the Graphics mode. This fix
is currently not available in the Hercules version.
