It's not the best font, I agree, but it's best suited for this purpose. Especially when printed out with one of the double or quad density drivers (which I highly recommend for this file). Let me begin by stating that I am a great believer in manuals. More often than not, a problem arrises due to not properly reading or understanding the manual. Of course, if the information is not there in the first place, it's real hard to read it! This came to the attention of several geoUsers when, after someone placed a message on the GEOS board on Q-LINK concerning a problem they were having regarding the use of the 1581/1541 drives and geoWrite, I left the reply, "re-read the section xx on page 145 of your manual." Well, the user looked, but it wasn't there! After an all out nationwide investigation by dedicated GEOS users, it was determined that there are two different GEOS 2.0 manuals! So, down to the nitty gritty: As of 12/31/88 there are two different versions of the GEOS 2.0 manual. Basically, the difference between the two is, one manual has binder holes punched in it, for placement into a small 3-ring binder, and the other manual does not have these holes. There is also at least one other difference. The manual without the holes contains some very valuable information that users of two different drive types (who are not using the REU) will find critical. The following 2 pages contain this information. With the California font placed on this disk, the printed output of pages 2 and 3 will produce a sort of "Manual Update" that can be cut down and placed directly into your manual. Select the PRINT option from the menu, and in the dialog box, select "print from page 2 to page 3", unless you just feel the need to print out page one also. Using scissors or a paper cutter, cut the pages exactly 8 1/2 inches long X 5 3/4 wide, and the pages will fit neatly into your manual. When printed with a quad density driver, it makes a nice addition to your manual, but it is hardly necessary. I hope this information comes in handy for those who need it.
