WHAT IS WAZO? A UNIX Word Processor and System Interface for non-technical users that can be operated within minutes. WAZO's menus and prompts allow anyone to create and print documents and perform system functions without learning commands or knowing UNIX. On-line context help is available at every step so it is not necessary to consult a WAZO User Guide. Function Key commands are available for the experienced user, and prompt and codes lines may be made to disappear to produce an empty screen for editing. WAZO allows text-only (ASCII) editing and provides access to the UNIX shell. Text-only documents may be sent as e-mail, and WAZO may be called to read incoming e-mail. WAZO runs on SCO UNIX, SCO XENIX, ESIX and LINUX. The initial release is for the English language and is non-graphical, but it runs in the xterm and scoterm windows of X-Windows. WAZO is shareware. You may try it for 30 days. If you continue to use it after that, we would like you to register it for $100 plus S & H ($5 in USA, $10 outside USA). We will then send you the complete WAZO and a read/browse manual on diskette that you can also print. If you register it for $125 plus S & H, we will send you the complete WAZO and a printed manual. ** Registration cost covers unlimited users on one computer. FACTS AND FEATURES: o Anyone can operate WAZO immediately with just ONE Function Key and by following prompts and menus. There is no need to learn commands or read documentation. o Users can also operate WAZO with Function Keys like other word processors. o Help: Complete on-line, context-sensitive help. o User Guide: Complete printed documentation. * Available when you register. o Screen can be divided for multiple document editing. The number of allowed windows depends on screen size. o Automatic repaging and rewrap after editing. o Wide-line documents allowed. User specifies width. o Long documents allowed. Can handle documents up to 32,000 lines (over 600, 54-line pages.) o Total hard disk space used by WAZO + utility programs is 3 MB (not including installed printers and terminals). For shareware download, extra 4 MB needed during installation. o Directory listings in sorted or dated order. Users can be restricted to one directory and its subdirectories. o WAZO options: The behavior and look of WAZO are easily changed to suit individual users. Changing options does not require reinstallation of WAZO. Changes can be permanent or for current editing session only. o Custom keyboards: Users may easily invent and use their own keystroke combinations for WAZO commands. For example, GOTO-END-OF-PAGE can be F6 or ESC DOWNARROW or ESC e o p. A menu-driven utility is included to design entire keyboards or to add or change commands. o Keyboard printouts: The keyboard utility prints your current keyboard assignment. You get two listings: Alphabetized features with keys that produce them. Alphabetized keys with the features they produce. o Utilities are included to define: terminals/monitors, keyboards, printers and fonts. (The PC monitor, over 30 terminals and keyboards, and many printers and their fonts are already defined to work with WAZO.) o Hewlett-Packard tagged font metric files are read. o Ability to test font with document's ruler and lines-per-page before printing. o Ability to print with multiple fonts. Use of style sheets lets you apply one style to many documents. Style sheets can be printed out to let you see all typefaces together. o Scalable and Proportional Space font print option will rewrap and repage text to make optimum use of font. o Multiple document printing with option for continuing page numbers. o E-Mail. Documents may be sent as e-mail, and WAZO may be called to read incoming e-mail. * Documentation available when you register. o Mail Merge. o Two system interfaces to UNIX utilities. For programmers: Direct to the UNIX shell. (Can be disabled or enabled.) For non-technical users: Menus make it easy to perform UNIX functions. Included are: - BACKUP and RESTORE documents - CONVERT FORMAT of document (add or strip codes) - COPY, RENAME and DELETE documents - CREATE and DELETE directories - format, copy and compare FLOPPY DISKS - change PERMISSIONS of documents and directories - SPELL-CHECK documents The following utilities are provided when you register: - use a CALCULATOR - view a past, present or future CALENDAR - COMPARE two documents for differences - CONVERT UNITS OF MEASURE to different units - FIND documents containing key text; global find - SORT a list - rewind and retension TAPE - count WORDS and LINES in a document o Security: Users can specify who may read and write their documents. REQUIREMENTS: o SCO UNIX, SCO XENIX, ESIX, or LINUX operating system. o 386, 486, or Pentium cpu. o 3 MB disk space for WAZO, up to 4 MB additional during installation. o WAZO is compressed. You need gunzip to install it. Uncompressed shareware available on 3 floppy disks. To cover shipping and disks: In the USA, send check for $5. Out of USA, send check for $10 in USA funds. Specify 3.50" or 5.25" disks. Send to: WAZO Software, P.O. Box 986, Pismo Beach, CA 93448 ================================================================================ After you install WAZO, you may wish to read these files: TUTORIAL.DOC This is a Quick-Start to using WAZO. LICENSE.DOC This is your license to use WAZO. INSTALL.DOC This repeats the installation instructions given below. A subdirectory wazo.info is created in the directory where you install WAZO. The above files are placed there and also: PRINTERS.TXT Lists the printers and fonts that work with WAZO. PRINTERS.ADD Lists the information needed if printers and/or fonts do not work with WAZO. You can use menus to create printer or terminal drivers for WAZO. To do so (and see these menus), give the command: wzutils You may also send the information to WAZO Software and request that we create the drivers. ORDER.FRM Use this to order additional printer/font drivers, manuals, or registered copies of WAZO. ================================================================================ HOW TO INSTALL WAZO The installation process is interactive. Once you start it, you will be told what to do at each step. At the end of the installation, the terminals and printers that you will use with WAZO will be chosen from the WAZO menus. Before Installing WAZO: - You need about 3 megabytes of disk space to contain WAZO. This includes programs, menus, help screens and messages. It allows for the installation of some terminal and printer files. If you are installing downloaded or compressed software, you need an additional 3-4 megabytes during installation only. - You must be logged-in as "root". - There must be a user-id on the system that can be used for the WAZO manager. (During installation, you are switched from super-user to WAZO manager.) - Before you start, the current directory must allow the WAZO manager to create/delete temporary files. Installing WAZO After Download: 1. You downloaded the file containing WAZO. If it is not in your current directory, move it there. 2. Enter the appropriate command: For SCO or Esix: gunzip wazo103sco.tgz For Linux: gunzip wazo103lnx.tgz 3. Enter the appropriate command: For SCO or Esix: tar xf wazo103sco.tar wazo For Linux: tar xf wazo103lnx.tar wazo (Do not omit the final wazo in this command.) 4. Enter: ./wazo/install (Enter one dot before the first slash.) You receive the Installation Menu. Choose: Install WAZO. Then respond to the messages on the screen. It is assumed you are still in the directory from which you entered the tar command. If you changed to the directory named wazo, for this step you need to enter: ./install Notes: The commands above are shown with extra spaces. You may type one or more spaces wherever space is shown, but must not type spaces where none are shown. Installing WAZO requires super-user power because a directory and a file named wz are created inside public directories. (An ordinary user may not have permission to create in public directories.) Once the wz directory and file are created, the super-user automatically becomes the WAZO manager. The installation continues WITHOUT super-user powers. How To Remove WAZO From Your System: 1. WAZO manager or super-user should enter: cd `wzpath` rm -fr * 2. Then super-user should enter: rmdir `wzpath` cd /usr/bin # or wherever you placed the wz command rm -i wz* 3. Some users of WAZO may have a directory named wz. To remove it, the user may enter these commands. cd rm -fr wz
