It should work correctly on any ATARI ST/STE/TT/Falcon, but I only have tested it on my Falcon.... How can I use Gooffy ? It is very simple to use, but you can do it in 2 different ways. 1) As a simple APP/PRG application Just clic on GOOFFY.APP and a file selector will appear so that you can choose the file you want to print. On recent TOS, you can drag the file you want to print on GOOFFY.APP and it will be automaticly loaded and printed by Gooffy. If you're using MultiTOS, you can replace the original printing program LPR.APP by GOOFFY.APP. To do so replace the line: setenv SHPRINT=C:\MULTITOS\LPR.APP by setenv SHPRINT=C:\MULTITOS\GOOFFY.APP in the file GEM.CNF (the example supposes that you have copied GOOFFY.APP in the folder C:\MULTITOS\). Gooffy has the particularity of not freezing all applications if the printer is not ready (no paper or off line) like LPR.APP does... 2) As desk-accessory Rename GOOFFY.APP as GOOFFY.ACC and copy it in the root of your boot drive (usualy C:\ if you have a harddisk or A:\ if you don't). To use it, just call the accessory by clicking on its name in the first menu like any other accessory. The file selector will appear, then just choose the file you want to print... Using Gooffy as a desk-accessory will enable you to print files while your're doing something else, and so even under non-multitasking AES. Feel free to contact me for any suggestion or bug report. That's all... I hope you'll find this program useful... --------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT Gooffy is SHAREWARE, this means if you use this program you MUST register by sending $5 (30 FF) to: Patrice BENSOUSSAN 15, rue Guiglia "Palais Rameau" 06000 Nice - FRANCE PLEASE RESPECT SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT - IMPORTANT ---------------------------------------------------------------------
