This is ALL YOU NEED to begin using inform-Z (tm) right NOW!
============================================================
Thank you for trying inform-Z ((tm) pronounced "informs").
We believe inform-Z is the most flexible, easy-to-use forms
program available. We've put enormous amounts of time into
ensuring that it has the features you need, and that it works
in a simple, logical way (with easy to remember commands).
You'll be amazed at how delightful it is to use, and how
easily and quickly you'll be able to accomplish things.
We asked you to "read this first" because, if you do, you
may NEVER HAVE TO CONSULT THE MANUAL. Why? Because this
brief introduction will explain all you need to know to
run inform-Z' "LESSON FORMS."
* inform-Z includes a series of lesson forms which demonstrate
how to use almost every feature of inform-Z.
* If you go through each lesson form in order, you'll find that:
- You'll very quickly learn how to use inform-Z. And you'll
learn more quickly than if you started with the manual
since you'll be able to see things happen.
- You may never need to print or read the manual (okay,
so maybe you'll have to look up a few details).
- When you do consult the manual, it'll make much more sense
since you'll already be familiar with what we're explaining.
LESSON FORMS
============
You'll find about 15-20 lesson forms here.
* Lessons numbered 1-19 (ie., lesson1.pff to lesson19.pff)
explain the basics. (Note: There may NOT be 19 lessons;
but we reserved 1-19 for the basics.)
Lessons 1-19 will show you how to:
- Draw boxes and lines
- Add text
- Shade, erase, copy and move areas
- Add Big! Fonts
- Preview forms
- and more
* Lessons 20 and beyond (eg., lesson20.pff) explain inform-Z'
advanced features:
- How to automate forms with edit fields, formulas, dates,
time-stamps, sequence numbers, etc.
- How to use inform-Z' extensive "printer management" features.
