    Welcome to PageStream Demo!
    
    This disk contains a demo version of PageStream 1.8.
    
    This disk may be freely copied and passed along to your friends as long
    as all files contained on this disk are kept intact and unmodified.
    
    
    ABOUT THE PROGRAM
    
    The program on this disk is disabled. It won't and can't save anything
    you create within it. It can, however, do all other functions in the
    program. The demo version will also print "PageStream Demo Version" at
    an angle across all printouts and on all pages.
    
    BOOTING THE PROGRAM
    
         from Workbench
    
    To Boot/load/run PageStreamDemo from the Workbench simply double-click
    on the program (PageStreamDemo) icon. When the program loads it will be
    in a high-res INTERLACE screen and it will be in four color mode (which
    means  you will have 4 screen colors available).  PageStream can load
    into a  NON-INTERLACE Screen (but not recommended) and also in 2,4,8 or
    16 color mode.  To change this select on the PageStreamDemo PROGRAM
    icon (NOT the  disk icon) and go the the 'Workbench' menu -> 'INFO'.
    Under TOOL TYPES the available options are: (NOTE: You must follow the
    capitalization EXACTLY)
    
    INTERLACE=Yes            COLORS=Two              SCREEN=Custom
    INTERLACE=No             COLORS=Four             SCREEN=WorkBench
                             COLORS=Eight
                             COLORS=Sixteen
    
    
          from CLI
    
    To boot/load/run PageStreamDemo from a CLI simply type "PageStreamDemo"
    To change color/screen/interlace options:
    
    -i     for interlace
    -n     for non-interlace
    -2     for two color mode
    -4     for four color mode
    -8     for eight color mode
    -16    for sixteen color mode
    -w     for workbench screen
    
    EXAMPLE: PageStreamDemo -16 -i       loads the program in sixteen
    					 colors and interlace screen.
    EXAMPLE: PageStreamDemo -2 -n        loads the program in two colors
    					 and non-interlace screen.
    
    
    ABOUT THE DISK
    
    This disk contains Workbench 1.3 and should be used to boot your
    computer to the Workbench screen.
    
    *** NOTE - THERE ARE IN FACT NO COMMODORE PROPRIETARY FILES IN THIS
    ARCHIVE ***
    
    In order to save room on this disk all ICONS have been deleted except
    where absolutely necessary.  You won't find icons for fonts, drivers,
    graphics,  documents, or text.  This means that you won't be able to
    SEE these things from the Workbench, but you can manipulate them (copy,
    delete, etc.) via CLI.
