Q. What is it?
A. Printer's Apprentice is a font management utility for the Windows
   3.1 operating environment. It helps you manage all your TrueType
   and Adobe Type 1 fonts by printing inventory sheets (4 flavors!),
   ANSI charts, keyboard layouts, and specimen sheets. It was noted
   as the *BEST* Windows font utility by PC Magazine (10/27/92) and 
   features one of the sharpest interfaces around.

Q. How do I install this program real quick?
A. Unzip the PRNAP58.ZIP to a new diskette or directory and run
   INSTALL.EXE. This will decompress the files and copy them
   to the right places on your hard drive.

Q. How does the program modify your system?
A. The Printer's Apprentice setup program will copy several files
   to your computer.

	Copied to \windows\system
	-------------------------
	dyspydll.dll	subclassing control dll (DesaWare)
	cbk.vbx		callback control	(DesaWare)
	cmdialog.vbx	common dialog contro	(Microsoft)
	grid.vbx	grid control		(Microsoft)
	keystat.vbx	keyboard control	(Microsoft)
	sbceasy.vbx	subclassing control	(DesaWare)
	ss3d2.vbx	3D Effects		(Sheridan)
	tabbed.vbx	tabbed dialog control	(LYM)
	threed.vbx	3D Effects		(Microsoft)

	Copied to \pa
	-------------
	pa.exe		Printer's Apprentice	(LYM)
	pacp.exe	Printer's Apprentice	(LYM)
	*.bmp		Various bmp files, needed by PA!
	pa.ini		initialization file for PA
	readme.txt	readme file!
	pa.hlp		Printer's Apprentice help file
	
   Note: Proper version control is used by the installation program!
   The installation program will prompt you before writing over
   files that already exist!	

Q. What happens if I get a "Out of Date" error after installing the
   software??
A. Every attempt has been made to distribute the latest versions of
   the VBX & DLL support files. However, making sure the correct version
   is on your machine can be a pain. Some shareware (and commercial!!) 
   vendors do not use reliable SETUP.EXE and INSTALL.EXE programs. These
   programs may overwrite a support file or place the wrong date stamp
   on a copied file. Thus you will receive a "out of date" error when 
   you try to run Printer's Apprentice. If you get this error, the fix
   is easy.
	1) Search your ENTIRE hard drive for the offending file.
        2) Delete ALL copies of this file. You may be surprised at
           how many duplicate VBX files you have creeping around on
           your hard drive.
        3) Restart Windows.
        4) Reinstall Printer's Apprentice. This should fix everything
           for you.

Q. I noticed this version uses different VBX files? Can I delete VBX files
   from your old versions that are no longer used??
A. I have really, really tried to reduce the number of third-party add
   on files used by Printer's Apprentice. Listed below are VBX's that
   where used by prior (5.6 & below) version. You can delete them from
   your Windows & System directories...
   
	CCMOUSE.VBX
	3DLABEL.VBX
   	PICCLIP.VBX
   
   NOTE: These files may be used by other shareware programs on your
   computer. Check your documentation for more information.

Q. How do I remove the program if I need more space on my machine?
A. There is a file named INSTALL.LOG located in the PA directory. This
   lists out *every* file and program manager group added to your system.
   Note: Some other vendors may use some VBX files on your system.
   THREED.VBX is a VERY popular file!!

Q. What happened to the documentation file?
A. Everything has been placed in a Windows help file. Just click
   the Help menu item or the question mark icons...

Q. How do I purchase this program?
A. We can only take orders with personal checks. Do *NOT* send cash,
   even if you are in another country. For foreign orders, please use
   a postal money order or a bank check drawn on US dollars. Pricing
   is as follows.

Q. What is the upgrade policy?
A. When you register, I will send you a code and a certificate. Upon release
   of major upgrades, I will notify you with a post card. The cost of
   duplication and mailing has gotten out of hand, so upgrades will cost
   a nominal $5 if you need a new diskette. Or you can wait to find the
   program on a local BBS. The codeword will always work for future 
   editions.

Q. Anything else?
A. Yes! I am always open to suggestions! This software is made for
   anyone who cares about type. Designers, DTPers, layout artists,
   print shops, publishers, etc, this sofware is for you. If you have
   any suggestions, spec sheet ideas, interface notes, let me know.
   75% of the improvements in this release came from users. This
   is your program! It is easiest to reach me at home, after 7pm EST.
