-
-The hardcopy Postscript documentation is generated by converting the
-
SGML source code to
RTF, then
-importing into
ApplixWare-4.4.1.
-After a little cleanup (see the following
-section) the output is "printed" to a postscript file.

Hardcopy Generation for v6.5
-Some figures were redrawn to avoid having bitmap
-
GIF files in the hardcopy documentation. One
-figure, of the system catalogs, was sufficiently complex that there
-was not time to redraw it. It was converted to fit using the
-following commands:

-Open a new document in
Applix Words and

-
-Print out the existing Table of Contents, to mark up in the following
-few steps.
-
-
-
-
-Insert figures into the document. Center each figure on the page using
-the centering margins button.
-
-Not all documents have figures. You can grep the
SGML source files for
-the string Graphic
to identify those parts of the
-documentation which may have figures. A few figures are replicated in
-various parts of the documentation.
-
-
-
-
-Work through the document, adjusting page breaks and table column
-widths.
-
-
-
-
-If a bibliography is present, Applix Words seems to mark all remaining
-text after the first title as having an underlined attribute. Select
-all remaining text, turn off underlining using the underlining button,
-then explicitly underline each document and book title.
-
-
-
-
-Work through the document, marking up the ToC hardcopy with the actual
-page number of each ToC entry.
-
-
-
-
-Replace the right-justified incorrect page numbers in the ToC with
-correct values. This only takes a few minutes per document.
-
-
-
-
-Save the document as native Applix Words format to allow easier last
-minute editing later.
-
-
-
-
-Export the document to a file in Postscript format.
-
-
-
-
-Compress the Postscript file using
gzip.
-Place the compressed file into the doc directory.
