CALAMUS.TXT

This is the Demo disk for Calamus. It does not allow you to
save your layout work. But it does allow you to import a text
(in GST's .DOC format or ASCII format (.TXT), import graphics
(in nearly all formats), do all layout work and to print. One
can use this disk to do limited layout work (a page or two, or
signs, notices, name cards, etc.)

This demo requires a full megabyte of memory.

Load the program. It takes about two minutes to load. Click on
the large arrow. Go to the ABCDEF in a square, and then choose
create New File from the menu. Create a text block in the
blank page that appears. It is in the text block that layout
work can be done.

On a 1040, there is no rooom in RAM for anything. By deleting
the dictionary from memory, you free up an additional 80 KB.
Do this by clicking on the Large A, upper left screen. This
produces the text editing menu, left screen. In it, click on
the small icon of an open book second icon to the right from
the wire pliers icon. This is the dictionary icon. A
dictionary menu appears. Double click on the thick dictionary.
A screen appears. Just above the "OK", there is an icon of a
dictionary flying into a waste basket. This deletes the
dictionary from memory (but not from disk!). Click on it. The
dictionary takes care mostly of the hyphenation (for example:
se-pa-ra-tion). By not having it, you must separate words by
hand. To reformat a text layout, click on the Reformat option
from the Text menu.

To use Calamus professionally, one must have at least 3MB in
RAM, a harddisk, a laser printer, and a lot of patience.


Enjoy
