- README.DOC - THIS FILE IS FOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND NEW INFORMATION -
YOU NEED 510-518K OF FREE MEMORY AND A HARD DISK WITH 960K FREE DISK SPACE FOR
LASER LETTERHEAD PLUS. IF NOT, DELETED UNWANTED FILES TO CREATE DISK SPACE AND
CLOSE ANY TSR PROGRAMS THAT MAY BE OCCUPYING FREE MEMORY.To print Readme.DOC on

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLING LASER LETTERHEAD PLUS:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> 1. This is the BBS Edition of Laser Letterhead plus. That means that the
files are compressed into one large file for easy downloading. Once downloaded,
the INSTALL.EXE and LLHP.EXE files may be extracted from LASLET35.EXE (Your BBS
may have changed this file to another name) by typing the name LASTLET35 (or
whatever name this file may have been changed to) and striking ENTER.
-> 2. Once the INSTALL.EXE and LLHP.EXE files are extracted from the BBS file
above, you may copy the LASLET35.EXE (or equivalent) file to a floppy diskette
or delete it from your hard disk. It is no longer needed.
-> 3. You are now ready to install Laser Letterhead plus. Type INSTALL and
strike the ENTER key. You may install Laser Letterhead plus on any hard drive
in your system, and into any new directory that you may name.
NOTE: YOU MAY INSTALL THE PROGRAM ON THE SAME HARD DISK THAT YOU DOWNLOADED IT
TO FROM THE BBS (OR COPIED IT TO AFTER DOWNLOADING). DO NOT INSTALL IT FROM
FLOPPY DRIVES BECAUSE OF THE TEMPORARY SPACE NEEDED TO EXPAND FILES.
-> 4. The INSTALL program will ask on what drive you wish to locate the program.
It must be on your hard disk and may be the same hard disk where it is now
located. You are asked to supply the name for the new directory. INSTALL will
create a this directory for the files. Do not name it the same as the directory
you are currently located with the INSTALL program. Recommended name is LETTER.
-> 5. You will see on the screen what is occurring.
-> 6. No PCL bit map soft fonts are included with this program, but you must
indicate to the program where your fonts are located. You will be asked if you
want to keep the soft fonts in the same directory as the program files (if you
plan to add the soft fonts after the installation is completed), or if they
are already in another drive and/or directory.
Avoid placing your fonts in a subdirectory off of a directory of another
program. This takes much longer for the program to find the fonts, and may cause
a problem. If you wish to have several programs access your soft fonts, place
them in a directory directly off the root directory.
-> 7. When the INSTALL process stops, you will be on the drive and in the
directory you specified above for the Program files. Installation is completed.
-> 8. Before starting Laser Letterhead plus, run a DIR command on the program
directory. You must have a total of 35 files installed for Laser Letterhead plus
to work properly. If you do not, contact your BBS distributor (SYSOP)or CPI
Software. The following is a list of files that you should have; all but this
README.DOC are needed for LLHP to work:
~
1. LP.BAT 2. BROWSE.COM 3. OVL_1.EXE 4. OVL_2.COM
5. OVL_3.COM 6. OVL_4.COM 7. OVL_5.COM 8. OVL_6.EXE
9. ADDRESS.DAT 10. COUNTER.DAT 11. COUNTEXT.DAT 12. IMPORT.DAT
13. LETTER.DAT 14. PHRASE.DAT 15. TEXT.DAT 16. HANDBOOK.DOC
17. README.DOC 18. ENVELOPE.EXE 19. LLHPV35.EXE 20. TWRITE.EXE
21. WORDPROC.EXE 22. BIGJOHN.PCX 23. FROMDESK.PCX 24. JOHNFLY.PCX

29. TECHLINE.PCX 30. TOP.PCX 31. WM_AERO.PCX 32. WM_DOLPH.PCX
33. WM_HORSE.PCX 34. WORLDINC.PCX 35. ESCAPE.FNT
-> 9. Type LP to start the program, and go to the Handbook, and follow the
instructions under "How to Begin".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: For the vision impaired, a large font screen driver is available with the
Commercial Edition. There is no additional charge for this screen driver.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES PCL BITMAP SOFT FONTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laser Letterhead plus requires that you supply your own PCL bitmap soft fonts.
The fonts in SetUp are only examples and do not exist on the program disk. PCL
bitmap soft fonts are readily available from your shareware dealer and other
commercial sources. Postscript fonts, outline fonts, or programs that are
made to create fonts on the fly for specific applications will not work. If you
cannot locate PCL bitmap soft fonts, you may call or FAX our Technical Support
Voice/FAX/Message line: 813-544-0212 for help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION NOTICES IF YOU ARE USING A CACHE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION: THIS PROGRAM UTILIZES EXTENDED AND/OR EXPANDED MEMORY IF AVAILABLE. IF
YOU HAVE A DISK CACHE THAT RUNS IN EXTENDED MEMORY, SHUT OFF THIS PROGRAM'S
ABILITY TO ACCESS EXTENDED MEMORY IN SETUP. THE PROGRAM WILL ACT STRANGELY AND
HANG UP IF YOU DO NOT DO SO. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO WINDOWS 3.1 USERS (BELOW).
WINDOWS 3.0 USERS: IF YOU HAVE HIMEM.SYS AND USE SMARTDRIV.SYS, USE THE /a
SWITCH AFTER IT SO IT WILL ACCESS AND USE EXPANDED MEMORY. EXPANDED MEMORY DISK
CACHES DO NOT INTERFERE WITH LASER LETTERHEAD PLUS OR WITH MOST OTHER PROGRAMS.
WINDOWS 3.1 USERS: IF YOU USE SMARTDRIV.EXE THAT IS INSTALLED IN AUTOEXEC.BAT
FILE, LASER LETTERHEAD PLUS VERSION 3.5 IS COMPATIBLE AND WILL WORK WITH IT
WITHOUT REGARD AS TO HOW YOU HAVE IT SET UP. YOU MAY ALSO SET LLHP TO USE
BOTH EXTENDED AND EXPANDED MEMORY IN THE SETUP PROGRAM.

Additional PCX images or logos may be ordered with the Basic PCX Pak.
