* READ_ME.1ST file for EASY TEXT PLUS (EZT+) for ST USER magazine
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright notice
----------------
Please note that zzSoft retain copyright of Easy Text Plus, and
therefore Easy Text Plus should not be distributed as shareware
or PD. The fonts are copyright ATARI Corp.
The version of Easy Text Plus on the ST User magazine March issue
is the latest version, 1.4a, as are associated files. However, on the
original disc (from zzSoft) more fonts and an IMG file to DEGAS
file converter utility are available.
The ST User version comes with an installation program (INSTPLUS.PRG)
for 3 types of printer:
1. 9-pin Epson compatible (aka FX80 compatible) dot-matrix
printers, eg Star LC10, Amstrad DMP 3000 - 99% of all 9-pin dot
matrix printers. Printer output resolution is 120*144 dpi.
2. 24-pin Epson compatible (aka LQ compatible) dot-matrix
printers, eg Star LC24-10 and most if not all other 24 pin-
printers. Printer output resolution is 180*180 dpi.
3. Cannon bubblejet 10ex in Epson LQ mode. Please note that the
printer program (after installation) will state Epson LQ - this
is ok. Printer output resolution is 180*180 dpi.
Please note that BJ10e owners can use Easy Text Plus but cannot
use the LQ driver version. You need a different driver that can
print @ 360*360 dpi. This driver is also suitable for the BJ10ex
@ 360*360 dpi.
Easy Text Plus runs on any ST(E) in mono or med res.
This d/s disk should contain the following files (*=folder):

instructions). SpeedoGDOS must be bought separately. For more details
phone or write zzSoft.
Printers & problems
-------------------
Printer problems: make sure that your printer is setup in EPSON mode not
IBM mode. You may need to alter your dip switches. EZT+ works with the
majority of modern printers: exceptions include old (>4 years old) 9-pin
OKI printers (but we may be able to help).
Easy Text+ does not print in colour but can be used in mono on a colour
dot-matrix printer.
Saving Easy Text+ files.
------------------------
Always use the file extension EZM for med res or EZ1 for hi res files.
Example: TEST.EZM (med res), TEST.EZ1 (hi res). If you don't do this the
printer program will not be able to locate the files for printing and you
won't be able to load the file back into Easy Text+.
