If you're new to word processing, you're about to be introduced to a whole new world of word technology. If you're new to WordStar, you'll be amazed at the speed and versatility of this program. And if you're a WordStar user who's upgrading, you'll love the new features. This section of the book contains all the information you need to install WordStar on your computer. Installation instructions begin on page xiv. For WordStar Users Who Are Upgrading If you don't want to go through the step-by-step installation instructions, just copy your original disks, then run WINSTALL Be advised though that WINSTALL has been changed. Keep these important points in mind: • WordStar comes with two installation programs, WINSTALL and WSCHANGE. WINSTALL provides for a basic installation of WordStar. WSCHANGE, a more detailed installation program, includes all of the WINSTALL options but also allows for extensive customization of WordStar. XI Welcome This version of WordStar comes with an extensive patching program, WSCHANGE. Any patches you made to previous releases of WordStar won't work with Release 4. See Appendix C, "Customizing WordStar." For hard disk users, WordStar is set up to look for its files in User 0 (zero) on the A drive. If you copy WordStar into a different drive and/or user number, you need to change the default drive and file search user number with either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE. Also, it's important to remove the following files from previous versions of WordStar to avoid confusion with the new WordStar files. Keep a copy of these files on floppy disks. WS.COM WSMSGS.OVR WSU.COM WSOVLY1.OVR WS.INS SPELSTAR.OVR MAILMRGE.OVR WINSTALLCOM To get the most out of WordStar on a two floppy disk computer, you might want to refer to the section on special program disk configurations. (See pp. xxi.) This version of WordStar has many new features and requires more disk space and more memory. For two floppy disk systems, you can boot with your WordStar program disk by putting system tracks on your copy of that disk. Be sure to read What's New for new features and changes in WordStar. XII Welcome First, Copy Your Disks Before you install WordStar you need to copy your WordStar disks. Follow the instructions for your type of computer. IF YOU HAVE A TWO FLOPPY DISK COMPUTER You'll need Your CP/M Boot/Utilities disk The disks in your WordStar package The extra set of disk labels in your WordStar package Four blank formatted disks Follow these steps to copy your disks.

Exact time and location will be displayed from noon, Friday on the hotel lobby information terminals. The Society presently is informal—no officers or committees—and the only "official office holder" is L.E. Geisler, editor and publisher of the SEBHC JOURNAL. In the remote possibility that some SEBHC members want to establish a formal society, we advise them to send a proposed outline of same to the SEBHC JOURNAL. We will publish all those received before 5- Aug-87 in issue number 12 (August, 1987). The August JOURNAL issue will be available in the meeting room from about 13:00, Friday. Interested members can read what others have proposed in this issue, and may then discuss the proposals with other members also attending. If desired, they can draft a formal proposal for establishing a government, constitution and bylaws for the Society BEFORE meeting and acting on Lhe proposal. Note: This meeting will be quite brief, as most members are expecting to attend HUGCON-VI, and we don’t want them missing that. Subscribers visiting the meeting room may pick up their Aug-87 copy of the SEBHC JOURNAL there.

  • The Origins of Word Processing and Office Automation
    Remembering the Office of the Future: The Origins of Word Processing and Office Automation Thomas Haigh University of Wisconsin Word processing entered the American office in 1970 as an idea about reorganizing typists, but its meaning soon shifted to describe computerized text editing. The designers of word processing systems combined existing technologies to exploit the falling costs of interactive computing, creating a new business quite separate from the emerging world of the personal computer. Most people first experienced word processing using a word processor, we think of a software as an application of the personal computer. package, such as Microsoft Word. However, in During the 1980s, word processing rivaled and the early 1970s, when the idea of word process- eventually overtook spreadsheet creation as the ing first gained prominence, it referred to a new most widespread business application for per- way of organizing work: an ideal of centralizing sonal computers.1 By the end of that decade, the typing and transcription in the hands of spe- typewriter had been banished to the corner of cialists equipped with technologies such as auto- most offices, used only to fill out forms and matic typewriters.

  • Wordperfect 4.X Versions
    WordPerfect 4.x Versions Richard Wood 1. All of these are closely related versions. Each later version has enhancements over the prior one and slightly improved printer drivers. Memory requirements also increased with each version. WP 4.0 will fit entirely on one 1.44 meg floppy while both 4.1 and 4.2 will not, though all files necessary for full program functionality will. 2. Default for all versions is white characters on a black screen but they can be setup for the WP classic white on blue screen colors, or your own combination. 3. To install on a hard disk, copy all files on the disks to your directory of choice and then, from the directory where installed, run the program with the line WP/S or WP /S. This will put you into setup mode. All setup prompts are pretty much self explanatory if you are familiar with later versions 5.0 and 5.1 or other word processing software. There is no install program as included with version 5.1 and later. 4. These versions do not support a mouse or use of either extended or expanded memory. 5. These versions do not have a graphics mode print preview or any graphics import/use capabilities, they strictly deal with text. Without the graphics mode print preview the only accurate way to see printout results is to do a test printout. They do have a print preview mode but it is still a character based mode and cannot give a true representation of how things will appear on paper, particularly if using a proportionally spaced font.

Lesson 1: Introduction and Classification 1.1 Learning Objectives On completion of this lesson you will be able to • understand the concept of software • distinguish between system software and application software • know components of system software and types of application software. 1.2 Software Software of a computer system is intangible rather than physical. It is the term used for any type of program. Software consists of statements, which instruct a computer to perform the required task. Without software a computer is simply a mass of electronic components. For a computer to input, store, make decisions, arithmetically manipulate and Software consists of output data in the correct sequence it must have access to appropriate statements, which instruct programs. Thus, the software includes all the activities associated with a computer to perform the required task. the successful development and operation of the computing system other than the hardware pieces.

  • Breaking Free from Microsoft Word
    PhUSE EU Connect 2018 Paper TT06 Breaking free from Microsoft Word Dominik Habel, Bayer AG, Berlin, Germany ABSTRACT Microsoft® Word has dominated the document processing market for over 20 years and has become the go-to software in almost every office environment. After Word was first released, it quickly surpassed its competitors and became the best option available. However, the IT world experienced a drastic change since then affecting the very fundamentals of software. Web 2.0, open-source software, Big Data processing and interconnectivity are hugely important concepts of the modern world that Word struggles with. Microsoft's attempts to modernize Word as well as the sheer overuse of Word in offices brought up a variety of new problems that often remain unaddressed. This presentation will point out the biggest issues with Word from an IT perspective, discuss viable alternatives and show a real-life project trying to break free from Word when writing TFL Specifications. INTRODUCTION Microsoft Word is one of those programs that do not need a big introduction. It is by far the most widely used text processing software on the market with no end in sight. Taught in schools, required from job applicants by companies, it is one of the most important applications in every professional field. No matter where you look, you will doubtlessly see Word in use, albeit service, production, health, media, science, IT, administration or pharma. Word's ascent started back in 1981 when Microsoft hired a couple of engineer's with GUI word processing experience from a competitor to begin developing a text processor on their own.

  • “Not Only Microsoft: the Maturing of the Personal Computer Software
    Martin Campbell-Kelly Not Only Microsoft: The Maturing of the Personal Computer Software Industry, 1982-1995 In the thirteen years following the introduction of IBM's first personal computer in 1982, Microsoft rose from being a small concern to become the colossus of the PC software industry. However, Microsoft was not the only software company to profit from the PC-software boom: firms like AutoDesk, Lotus Development, WordPerfect Corp., Ashton-Tate, Novell, Borland, Adobe Systems, Aldus, Symantec, and the Santa Cruz Operation all had their time in the sun. Whereas some of these firms lost their markets to Microsoft or stumbled through strategic errors, others remained hugely successful, and their relative obscurity is largely due to the contemporary obsession with Microsoft and its billionaire founder. he early history of the personal computer is well known. It has fea- Ttured in the press, in numerous popular histories of computing, and in television programs such as Robert X. Cringley's "Triumph of the Nerds."1 Within the business history community, the story is known at a deeper level, partly through the inevitable osmosis that ac- companies the daily use of a personal computer, but also through arti- cles such as Richard Langlois's study of the microcomputer industry, MARTIN CAMPBELL-KELLY is a reader in computer science at the University of War- wick, England.

  • Newword — the Other Wordprocessor∗
    Newword — the other wordprocessor∗ John R Hudson No, not the B word, nor even the T word, but Newword, the second wordprocessor after Tasword to appear for the CPC, albeit only the 128K machines. Newword was written by the authors of WordStar after they fell out with the company over the future direction of WordStar. WordStar was the second microcomputer wordprocessor — the Electric Pencil was the first — and, by the time I came across WordStar in 1980, it was being compared favourably with leading minicomputer wordprocessors. These were largely used in typing pools where an IBM golfball typewriter was considered state of the art. So WordStar was written with such typists in mind as well as the limitations of early microcomputer keyboards — just a typewriter keyboard plus control, escape and line feed. I used WordStar for over six years on an RML 380Z with two 8” double-sided disc drives — each side being treated as a separate 128K drive. WordStar overcame the memory and disc drive limitations of the early microcomputers in several ways. It only loaded the core functions into RAM, calling the remaining ones from disc as needed, and, as soon as a document became too long to be held in RAM, it used a technique now called ‘virtual RAM’, saving parts of the file to disc. You could alternate saves between drives, which made it appear I was using a 256K drive, and you could chain long documents across discs. In an attempt to break away from the limitations of classic WordStar on PCs, the company launched WordStar 2000 which sank almost without trace but caused the original authors to leave and produce Newword.
