Thank you for buying Presentation Task Force 6.5. If you haven't
already done so, please complete & mail your registration card today.

The following sections contain late breaking info:

_____________________________________________________________________


INSTALLING PRESENTATION TASK FORCE TO HARD DISK'S LOADED WITH STACKER
AND OTHER HARD DISK COMPRESSION UTILITIES

This is NOT RECOMMENDED! The PTF install utility has been designed
to read your hard disk to determine how much free space you have
available for your installation. Stacker (and other disk compression
utilities) can fool our install utility into thinking there is more
space than is actually available. This can cause the PTF install
utility to "suddenly" quit during an installation, and report an error
message. Remember, PTF images are NOT compressed and can be accessed
and copied directly from the floppy disks.

The following programs were received too late to appear in the PTF
Reference Guide.

AMI PROFESSIONAL 3.0

The procedures for importing a CGM file into Ami Pro 3.0, remain
virtually the same as the procedures for Ami Pro 2.0 (described on
page 23 of the PTF Reference Guide). More information on importing
images into Ami Pro 3.0 can be found in "Chapter 15" of the Ami
Pro 3.0 User's Guide.

INFO FOR MACINTOSH USERS

PTF is not yet available for the Macintosh. However, MetaPICT 2.0 from
GSC Associates (213) 379-2113 does a nice job of converting CGM files
to the Macintosh PICT format. You might also consider HiJaak from
Inset Systems (203) 740-2400. Hijaak works from the PC and converts
many types of popular PC graphic file formats.
