Pluma Word Processor for OS/2 Presentation Manager

  This program provides a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) word
processor for the OS/2 Presentation Manager interface.  It does not
attempt to go head-to-head with the large professional word processors
available for OS/2 PM or Windows, but rather tries to provide a more
modest set of functions.  Normal text formatting is provided for, plus
the program has the ability to handle imbedded graphics.  All installed
ATM fonts are supported, in all the native formats and in a wide range
of sizes.  Printer support is strictly through the OS/2 PM interface,
providing output on any printer supported by that interface.  In fact,
I have heard of one user outputting direct to a FAX from this program.

  This program is shareware.  Feel free to distribute unmodified copies
of the program to anyone interested.  If you find the program useful,
and decide to keep the program for use, then you must pay for it.
To register this product, send a check or money order payable for 
$30 U.S. dollars to Rick Papo, plus your name, your mailing address,

  If you reside in any of the republics which were formerly of the 
Soviet Union or of the Warsaw Pact, you may register for $5.

  Upon receiving your registration, you will be sent the latest revision
of the word processor on diskette.  If you already have the latest revision,
you will be sent a confirmation of your registration and you will receive
the next revision, when it becomes available.  Printed documentation
is not yet available, but once it is, all registered users of the
word processor will receive a copy.


Installation:

  To install Pluma, you must execute the command-file 'ENGLISH'.
You will be asked in what directory you wish to install the program.
Please enter the full path of that directory, including the drive
specifier.  If the directory does not exist, it will be created.
Once you have entered the directory name, the installation will complete.
The program's EXE, DLL and HLP files will be copied to the target
directory and a program object will be created and placed on your
Desktop.  Once installation is complete, feel free to move the program
object to whichever folder you wish it to reside in.

  If by chance you delete the program object, simply repeat the
installation procedure.  The program settings will not be lost.


Translations:

  Pluma is built to be translatable into other languages easily.
Translations to Spanish, Catal n and German are expected shortly.
If you wish to translate the program to your native language, send
me a note to my Internet ID (rpapo@garnet.msen.com) or to my CompuServe
ID (72607,3111), or to my mailing address.  I will send you the
texts that need to be translated (the help file, the documentation file,
the installation script and the text resource definitions).  Once
I have the translated material back, I will add the new language to
the next release of the word processor.  Keep in mind, however, that
I will always be asking you for updates as the program gets
revised and enhanced.  In return for your help, your registration
is free.
