------------------------------------------------------------------------------ README.TXT: LETTERHEAD.PRO FOR WORDSTAR FOR WINDOWS - BBS INSTALLATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This BBS edition comes with an "Anywhere to Anywhere" installation. This means that wherever you download the zipped bbs file, you may unzip it and begin the installation at that location. The only restriction is that you cannot install the program into the same directory where you are currently located. In other words, you cannot download the zipped file to the C:\WS directory and then install the program into the same C:\WS directory. If you had done this, copy the zipped file out of the C:\WS directory into any other directory, and then begin the INSTALL program. This program will install 7 letterhead TEMPLATES, 6 logos, and 1 watermark into WordStar for Windows. Each letterhead may be selected when you open a NEW document. When you are finished using Letterhead Pro, all templates and related files may be UNINSTALLED with CLEANUP.EXE. Use the RUN selection on the Windows Program Manager menu (or equivalent), and select CLEANUP.EXE. This is a special file that will remove all traces of Letterhead Pro templates and associated files. It may also be run from DOS in the WSWIN\TEMPLATE directory. The installation program is in two stages, DOS and Windows. The INSTALL program MUST be started from DOS by placing the diskette in a floppy drive and typing INSTALL. Do NOT call up Windows and execute the RUN command. After completing the necessary DOS portion of the installation, INSTALL will call up WordStar for Windows, and complete the installation. When LETPRO.WSD is on screen, the installation is over and you are ready to begin. LETPRO.WSD contains instructions on how to use Letterhead Pro. You will be shown how to order your own customized letterhead, logo, and watermark. It is a WordStar document and must be viewed and printed from inside WordStar. You will be shown how you may obtain your own customized PCX graphic letterheads for WordStar. All instructions, worksheets, and order forms are included. You may design your own letterhead, convert your present printed letterhead, or have CPI Software design a letterhead for you. CPI Software will convert this letterhead design into a PCX image file, place it into a WordStar Template, and return it to you. Each letterhead, logo, or watermark is only $29.95 each. If the printer you are currently using will print Window's pictures and graphics, it will print graphical PCX letterheads. This includes lasers, ink jets, and dot-matrix printers. INSTALLATION Unzip the BBS file into any directory other than WordStar's directory or any of its subdirectories. Log onto the directory where the unzipped files are located, type INSTALL, and strike the ENTER key. 1. Standard Installation: The STANDARD installation assumes that you have never changed the name of WordStar's directory, and that it is still called "WSWIN." You will only have to know the letter of the hard drive where WSWIN is located. Follow the on screen instructions. When LETPRO.WSD is on screen, the installation is finished and you are ready to begin. Follow the instructions in the LETPRO.WSD document. 2. Custom Installation: This installation will let you place the letterhead templates into any directory you wish. However, you must know the path to WordStar's template files. For example, if you renamed the WordStar template directory "TEM," then this would be the full path: C:\WSWIN\TEM If you are not sure how you installed WordStar, then use this method. Locate the WordStar template files before the installation, and write down the proper DOS path. Then start the installation by typing INSTALL as instructed above, and follow the on screen directions. When LETPRO.WSD is on screen, the installation is completed. Follow the instructions in the LETPRO.WSD document. 3. Manual Installation: a. Locate where the WordStar template files (file endings WST) are located. b. Log onto the WordStar template directory, so that it is the current directory. Then use the DOS COPY command to copy TEMPLATE.EXE into that directory. c. When the TEMPLATE file is located in the WordStar template directory, type TEMPLATE, and strike the ENTER key. The Letterhead Pro files will expand out of the TEMPLATE.EXE file. Then delete TEMPLATE.EXE with this command: DEL TEMPLATE.EXE Start Windows, and select the WordStar icon. When WordStar is on screen, OPEN the file LETPRO.EXE in the WordStar template directory. You will find full instructions for obtaining your customized letterhead templates in this file. After you are through using Letterhead Pro, you may UNINSTALL all the Letterhead Profiles by selecting the CLEANUP.EXE file with the Windows Program Manager's RUN command. Thank you again, and enjoy your experience with Laser Letterhead Pro.
