LoTonah Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 As far as I know, I've never stumbled upon it. Would love to experiment further, but I don't understand it much. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 The disk image available in the Adam software archive on Joe B's site contains the entire manual in SmartWriter format files that you can display in Virtual Adam by mounting the disk image, but don't Boot, and then clicking on the appropriate files that are displayed in the right-side catalog listing. There are three files IIRC that make up the manual and when you click on them, they will be brought up in Notepad so just do a little cut and pasting to join all 3 files and then print to a PDF. BTW, I should know seeing as I typed that big mofo into SmartWriter back in the 90s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 No problem...also, although the doc files are viewable the way NIAD described, there is an even better method if you are using Virtual ADAM to see SmartWriter files. Mount the disk in the virtual disk drive Check the option to "Boot WP" Load the doc files off the disk into SmartWriter and "PRINT" them Exit out of SmartWriter back to the Virtual ADAM screen and click on the printer. Now you will see a directory of the files you just "printed" printed to properly formatted text files. Just click on them or load them into your favorite word processor. Yes, thank you, jblenkle! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGDiRocco Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Hopefully it translates to be the same as what we already have published in English. If not I’m gonna try and get a much clearer scan of it and post it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
