User Manual for The Last Word 2.1

[flashjazzcat]

I've been working on this for a couple of days and I'm sure it'll have a few mistakes in it, but here it is:

 

The Last Word 2.1 - User Manual

 

The documentation that shipped on the Atari disk with the program was out of date and needed alteration - hopefully I've spotted all the changes. If anyone finds any mistakes or inconsistencies, please let me know so that I can work on a 'definitive' release of this documentation.

 

Enjoy!

Having just skimmed the manual I have to say that's very complete documentation! Thanks for the obvious effort that went into it.

Very cool. Thanks.

 

I did find a typo on page 8-38. Bottom paragraph, first sentence '9 ae 16k banks'.

Very impressive Manual. Thanks, This will be a great help for using LW.

 

A small typo I noticed.

 

9.6.2 SPARTADOS X MEMORY CONFIGURATIONS

If you have a 130XE or other expanded RAM machine, you can achieve the largest possible paste bugger with LW by including in your CONFIG.SYS file the line:

LOL! That's a good one! The Paste Bugger feature was removed in version 1.6

 

Thanks for the corrections: I've spotted some other mistakes (such as the messed up heading half way down page 5-24 and a couple of obsolete references to icons which were removed after version 1.0). I'll give myself a chance to have another few read-throughs, then release a corrected version.

I was wondering about that. I saw the references to icons and I thought cool but I don't remember seeing any.

Yeah - the icons were taken out to save space but there's an add-in for the current version which brings them back. I'll release it very shortly.

That's cool. I'd love to see them added. I wouldn't mine losing a line or two to have them. How did you work the icons? was there mouse support or did you step through them with a key?

There was never any mouse support (I never had a mouse), but the add-in could be easily modified to handle mouse input. As it stands, you invoke the icons with <CTRL+T> and use the left and right cursor to move and <Return> to select. You don't lose any screen space because they fit in the two-line status area. Try them here:

 

LWADDINS.zip

 

Just load them with <SHIFT+CTRL+M> and call up with <CTRL+T>. There are a few add-ins: two versions of the icons, a sort routine, a calculator, and more... documentation will follow soon.

I just tried the ATR of addins and get errors trying to access it in Atari800MacX. Can't seem to index the image under DOS either

Sorry! It does appear to be corrupted. Hopefully this one will work:

Works a treat now! Thanks

Wow, the icons are great. Nice feature. I was just testing them out. Fantastic. I'd love to see mouse/Touch Tablet support. It would be nice to be able to load a driver for what ever device you want.
