flashjazzcat Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) 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but here it is: The Last Word 2.1 - User Manual The documentation that shipped on the Atari disk with the program was out of date and needed alteration - hopefully I've spotted all the changes.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!

spookt Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Having just skimmed the manual I have to say that's very complete documentation! Thanks for the obvious effort that went into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Very cool. Thanks. I did find a typo on page 8-38. Bottom paragraph, first sentence '9 ae 16k banks'. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twh/f2 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Wow. Excellent manual for an awesome tool. I personally use it with SpartaDos X. Thanks! grtx, \twh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) 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: Edited December 9, 2008 by rdea6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan 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.

+Allan Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 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? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan 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.

spookt Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Allan Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 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. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
