Re: Timeout

[a2mg@aol.comNomail (TEXAS II - AppleWorks)]

TimeOut SuperFonts was one of the original 7 TimeOut applications released by
Beagle Bros in 1987. It works with AppleWorks 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 4.3, and 5.1 (the
mail merge feature doesn't work in 4.x up). It is especially nice with
AppleWorks 5, since you can type MouseText and inverse and they will convert to
high ascii characters without any special SuperFonts coding. 

SuperFonts adds font-style printing to AppleWorks in place of the usual
dot-matrix printing. You can use any of thousands of fonts from business-like
Courier, Times, and Garamond to decorative and dingbat fonts. Anything you see
on the Mac can probably be done with AppleWorks with SuperFonts installed. You
can also print in very large fonts, like 72 and 95 points, and pics, such as
double-hi res and print shop graphics. Most fonts contain high ascii characters
which contain math, language-accented, and legal characters.  A add-on called
Ultimate Fonts lets you type "logical text" like a', a`, and n~, and then
converts it to SuperFonts code for language characters (UltraMacros required).
Two other add-ons, GRIDS+ and TimeOut SuperForms, let you print lined forms,
appointment calendars, and graph paper.

SuperFonts also includes TimeOut Paint, a full-featured Paint program which
requires a mouse. Overall SuperFonts printing quality is very, very good -
similar to what you'd see on a Mac using an ImageWriter. Several fonts (type
$C8 files) come with the SuperFonts program, and thousands more are available.
It requires a 9-pin, dot matrix printer, and will not work with newer printers
and DeskJets. For many people, SuperFonts is the reason for keeping an
ImageWriter around. SuperFonts was written by Beagle Bros president Mark
Simonsen.
