Don, wait til you see all the features that have been packed into release
1.0A, which should be out in the next week or so! I never realized it
could be so exasperating to try to document a piece of software. I swear I
will NEVER criticize anyone's manual again!!! At present, the new features
will be covered by an addendum. I will be releasing a videotape tutorial
"Imagine: the Possibilities" in March. Any new documentation will probably
come in the next major rev, which I would not expect until end of the year
or early '92. As an aside, back when I was finalizing the manual, I was
assured that the software was "locked." The very day I shipped the galleys
up to Minnesota, I was told four or five new features had been added. By
the time the program actually shipped it had been through at least five
revisions. Since 1.0 shipped, I have tested four additional updates! The
only consolation in all of this is that the software continues to improve
and that's my primary interest, because first and foremost, I'm a hard-core
user and I welcome any refinement even if it guarantees that I never write
another manual. 🙂 –Rick
