Calliope -==========- for the PSION Series 3a/3c Version 1.00 What is Calliope for? --------------------- Calliope allows you to print pictures in your Word documents. It integrates with the word-processor of the Series 3a/3c and will allow you, for example, to place your signature and the logo of your company on a document which contains a graph made with Sheet. Printers -------- Calliope curently supports only Hewlet Packard printers. It is supposed to work with every HP printer which can print graphics at a minimum of 150 DPI. Calliope has been successfully tested with these printers: HP DeskJet 510 If it works with your printer, please let me know.

Advanced use ------------ Calliope can also be used with Sheet. Such an use will be documented in a future version. Known bugs ---------- The following problems are known and should be fixed in the next version of Calliope: * when printing large files (more than 5000 characters), Calliope may print only the beginning of the text * if an error occurs during printing, it may result in the file not being printed. In this case, you may have to delete manually the file m:\wrd\p.lis Future improvements ------------------- I plan to add the following features to Calliope: * 300 DPI printing support on HP printers * printing on Canon printers (and maybe Epson ones) Shareware --------- What is shareware ? --------------------- A shareware is an application you can freely use, so that you can evaluate it. When you think that the program suits your needs, you register to show the author your appreciation for his work. Registering allows you to access all the features of the program. Why would you register ? ------------------------ I spent many hours working on this program, that's why I turnt Calliope into a shareware application. If you register, you'll have the following advantages: - You will get a registration code which will allow you to disable the nag when printing ; - You will automatically receive any new version if you gave me your email address ; - You will of course be a registered user for any new version. Limitation for unregistered users --------------------------------- Every three pictures, Calliope will print "UNREGISTERED" in the center of the picture if you aren't registered. How can I register ------------------ Registration is very easy. Just send 12 English pounds, 100 FF or $20 to me, together with your full name, your 'paper' and email addresses, and the number of the version you are using. I can only accept cash, or cheques FROM A FRENCH BANK. If you want to use a cheque other than from a French bank, or Eurocheques, the registration fee becomes 18 Pounds, 150 FF or $30 (to cover the cashing fees). My address is: Arnaud Weil 5 bis rue Moufle 75011 Paris FRANCE You'll receive as quickly as possible a registration code.
