First off, thank you very much for your support! It is very appreciated!

There are two very different SNAP files on your Master Snap Disk (and NEVER
NEVER run from the Master, make a backup first). The main difference is in
the area of printing. If your printer can support the FORM FEED command
(LPRINT CHR$(12) to get to a new page) you may use the SNAPFF/CMD program.
If your printer does not support the FORM FEED command, you will have to use
the SNAPNF/CMD.

SNAPFF - assumes your printer can do a form feed
SNAPNF - assumes your printer CAN NOT use the form feed command.

Nothing will happen if you use the NF version on a printer which DOES support
form feeds (other than printing will be slightly slower because of the
method used to advance the page). However if you use the wrong file on a
printer which doesn't support form feeds, you'll know straight off since
Snap will not pageinate correctly.

If you want to test your printer (you can't find the manual), use BASIC. From
Dos Ready type in BASIC [ENTER] and when in Basic type in this simple program.

10 LPRINT "FORM FEED TEST"
20 LPRINT CHR$(12)

and then type in RUN. I hope you have set the page perforation correctly and
have the printer powered up and on line before you run this program.

If the printer prints the message and advances to the top of the next page, you
can use the SNAPFF/CMD program. Otherwise you'll use SNAPNF/CMD.

Mostly it is daisy wheel printers which do not support the form feed command 
(notably Radio Shack DW's).

If you have ordered the HARD DRIVE VERSION, your files for the above examples
would be SNAPHDFF/CMD and SNAPHDNF/CMD. I.e just append an HD between the
SNAP and FF or NF.

Which brings me to another point. When you move SNAP to your working disk (or
where ever you are going to use it from), you need not use the same filename
I have given it. You may just call it SNAP or S or what ever you want.

If you have any questions, please do NOT hesitate to write or call my BBS
(@ 604 - 574 - 2072). If you have suggestions for improving Snap I would
welcome those as well but try to bare mind that it probably won't be changed
for a while until it becomes accepted and established. However I do appreciate
any feedback.

A final note would be to remember that you can not use your own file extension
names for the account names. For example if you wanted to use a filename
like : MYSAVE/ACC:1  Snap would not allow it. That is because SNAP uses its
own EXTENSIONS of /CAT and /TRA for files and obviously can not use yours.

Note - since many people own different types of Model 4, I have started
including both types of Snap on the master disk. You'll have the HD version
along with the normal floppy version. If you have double sided drives and want
to use one for the snap files only, use the HD version since it will allow you
more transactions if you need it. Otherwise just use the floppy version.

Addendem - Snap - Dates!

In the manual it states that when doing reports or printouts which are date
orientated you MUST SELECT ONE DAY PAST THE DATE YOU WANT. Not in the present
version of Snap. The ENDING date you use will be the LAST DAY Snap uses when
printing out reports. When the manual is revised this will be corrected but
in any event this will serve as a reminder.
