Q. What's new with 5.61??
A. This is simply a version compiled under the latest version of
the development language, Visual Basic 3.0.
Q. What is it?
A. Printer's Apprentice is a font management utility for the Windows
3.1 operating environment. It helps you manage all your TrueType
and Adobe Type 1 fonts by printing inventory sheets (3 flavors!),
ANSI charts, keyboard layouts, and specimen sheets. It was noted
as the *BEST* Windows font utility by PC Magazine (10/27/92) and
features one of the sharpest interfaces around.
Q. So... What's New with 5.6?
A. Printer's Apprentice has been built with a faster compiler,
works better with TrueType, has a sharper interface, faster
loading and printing, and two more new font inventory sheets,
font file inventory lists, it now tells you which fonts are
TrueType, ATM, etc... New "Instant Help" tells you exactly what
each screen and toolbox item does.
Q. How do I install this program real quick?
A. Unzip the PA56.ZIP to a new diskette or directory and run
INSTALL.EXE. This will decompress the files and copy them
to the right places on your hard drive.
Q. How do I remove the program if I need more space on my machine?
A. There is a file named INSTALL.LOG located in the PA directory. This
lists out *every* file and program manager group added to your system.
Q. What happened to the documentation file?
A. Everything has been placed in a Windows help file. Just click
the Help menu item or the question mark icons...
Q. How do I purchase this program?
A. We can only take orders with personal checks. Do *NOT* send cash,
even if you are in another country. For foreign orders, please use
a postal money order or a bank check drawn on US dollars. Pricing
is as follows.

Q. What is the upgrade policy?
A. When you register, I will send you a code and a certificate. Upon release
of major upgrades, I will notify you with a post card. The cost of
duplication and mailing has gotten out of hand, so upgrades will cost
a nominal $5 if you need a new diskette. Or you can wait to find the
program on a local BBS. The codeword will always work for future
editions.
Q. Anything else?
A. Yes! I am always open to suggestions! This software is made for
anyone who cares about type. Designers, DTPers, layout artists,
print shops, publishers, etc, this sofware is for you. If you have
any suggestions, spec sheet ideas, interface notes, let me know.
75% of the improvements in this release came from users. This
is your program! It is easiest to reach me at home, after 7pm EST.
