The new manual is available
---------------------------
Now that the hoop-la-do and brew-ha-ha over "Windows 95" has come and
gone, we are ready to announce the availability of the new Razor Users
Manual. It took a bit longer than we expected(!), but we believe that
the end result was worth it. Manual 95!
A contest & some prizes
-----------------------
A draft copy of the full manual been generated as a series of
postscript files which you are free to download, print, and review.
In order to encourage and reward the people willing to proofread the
manual, we've arranged a little contest.
Hidden within the text are the names of Muppet characters.
From now until October 21, we'd like people to give us feedback on
the manual. For the first 50 people who respond telling us where all
the muppets are, we'll reward them with either...
... a nice baseball cap, with Razor & Tower Concepts embroidered on it
... or a really cool, full size frisbee.
You can choose the prize, while quantities last (we've only got 30
hats left). We'll cover the postage, but it must be shipped to your
business address (which we'll expect you to provide).
Of course, we're also hoping to get your impressions on the following
points as well...
... (From what you can tell) were all the necessary points covered?
... Is the manual well organized and easy to follow?
... Was the overall tone too technical, too casual, or just right?
... Are there other terms we should add to the Glossary?
... Can you think of other Q's for the Q&A section (Appendix E)?
... And of course, how about spelling, punctuation, and grammar?
How to get a copy
-----------------
You can pull down everything via our ftp site, at ftp.tower.com.
The following notes should help...
# ftp ftp.tower.com <== 198.77.86.50
# login: ftp
# password: <your e-mail address>
# cd /pub/tower
# dir <== Just to see where you are
# cd New_manual
# bin <== Make sure you're in binary mode
# dir <== See what's in here
# get README <== Look this over
# get ALLFILES.tar <== (see below)
# bye
The file that gets pulled down is a tar collection of all of the
*.ps.Z files which make up the manual. Just un-tar it, then
uncompress and print them out as you see fit.
Happy proofreading, and thanks!
