FONTLOOK! Technical Manual and User Documentation



Version 1.0                                 - 19-JUL-92 -



1.0 Apology

This Visual Basic app is based on code that appeared on BBS's
somewhat earlier. I borrowed the tricks for generating the
font list and color list that are used (the only hard part I
found was getting the index for color), but everything else
I take the blame for. Isn't Visual Basic the greatest thing
ever?

2.0 Hype

FontLook! enables you to view all your installed screen fonts in
sizes from 9 to 96 points. You can type in your own text to see
how it'll look, or use the ANSI character set or a short sentence
that's included. It features a resizeable text area with scroll
bars that you can type in. I like comparing fonts at the larger
point sizes (but then I'm easy to amuse).

3.0 Features

The features are pretty much self explanatory, just futz around.

4.0 System Requirements

You need the file vbrun100.dll in your windows directory and some
screen fonts. Almost anything else is helpful, I guess.

5.0 Fees

This is free software. Enjoy! Pass it along to your friends. I made it
to work just the way I want it to work; if you like it, too, then
great! I did it as a passtime to fritter away the hours between contracts.
Better than moping and brooding. Know anyone with a job available?

6.0 Terms and Conditions

I can't think of anything this software is good for other than viewing
screen fonts, and I won't even be held to that, so I make no claims
about its fitness for any purpose. I don't think this software is
merchantable, and neither should you. You use it completely at your
own risk and I will not be liable for anything.

7.0 Technical Support

There is none.

8.0 Explanation of Numbering Scheme

I started with one and continued upwards, incrementing.

10.0 Salutation
