          ---------------------------------------------------

  This README file contains important information not found in the
  SPRINT manuals.  Please read this file in its entirety; we hope it
  will answer any questions you may have.  The information in this
  README supersedes the information in the manuals.  You can find more
  information about Sprint in the file README2, located on disk 2.


TABLE OF CONTENTS

2.  New Features/Information
3.  How to Contact Technical Support
4.  How to Unpack/De-archive SPMSOURC.ARC and UISOURCE.ARC
5.  Files Necessary to Run Sprint

1.  INSTALLATION
----------------
  SP-SETUP on the Sprint SETUP/PROGRAM disk will install Sprint for
  360K, 720K, 1.2M, and 1.4M floppies, as well as hard disk
  configurations.

  To install Sprint for use on a two-floppy system, use the batch file
  named MAKEDISK.BAT on the Sprint SETUP/PROGRAM disk to automatically
  format 8 floppy disks.

  If you would like to install additional alternate printers from
  the hard disk, simply copy SP-SETUP.EXE, MAIN.SPL and the appropriate
  printer (.SPL) file from the distribution disks to your hard disk.


2.  NEW FEATURES/INFORMATION
----------------------------
  NEW FEATURES -

  *  Included in this release of Sprint are two new Alternative User
     Interfaces, MultiMate 3.3 and MultiMate Advantage II.  Their
     respective source code is included in the UISOURCE.ARC (DISK A
     - ALTERNATIVE UIs) file.  You can use SP-SETUP to install
     these two Alternative User Interfaces.  Documentation for the
     MultiMate Alternative User Interfaces exceptions is located in
     the file MMATE.SPR located on disk 2.

  INFORMATION -

  *  Sprint displays the warning message "Warning: Already beyond next
     tab stop" when you have set tab stops but the text is longer
     than the specified space between tab stops. You can correct this
     by increasing the distance between the offending tab stops.

  *  If you are updating your version of Sprint from version 1.0,
     be sure to copy the file SPCVTKRN.DEF to your Sprint directory
     or to your conversion disks. This file has been updated, and
     is required when running file conversions. You also must rename
     the USER.DIC file to USER.LX2. You can conserve disk space
     by deleting AMERICAN.LEX, AMERHYPH.LEX, and THESAUR.LEX,
     which are not used by Version 1.01. Version 1.01 uses the
     files AMERICAN.LX1, HYPHEN.ENG, THESAUR.ENG.

4.  HOW TO UNPACK/DE-ARCHIVE SPMSOURC.ARC AND UISOURCE.ARC
----------------------------------------------------------
  For those users interested in learning more about the Sprint
  programming language, source code for the user interfaces and sample
  macro files are archived in the files UISOURCE.ARC and SPMSOURC.ARC,
  respectively.

  For instructions on how to de-archive the SPMSOURC.ARC (DISK 2 -
  BORLAND UIs) and UISOURCE.ARC (DISK A - ALTERNATIVE UIs) files,
  simply execute the UNPACK program without giving any command
  line parameters:

        UNPACK

  The UNPACK utility will display a screen of instructions on how
  to de-archive the files.


5.  FILES NECESSARY TO RUN SPRINT
---------------------------------
  The following files are the minimum necessary to run Sprint.
  If you choose to use only these files, some features will not be
  available.

      SP         COM  --  Sprint main program
      SPEDIT     EXE  --  Sprint editor
      SPFMT      EXE  --  Sprint formatter
      SPRECOVE   COM  --  Autosave/recovery
      COLORS     OVL  --  Colors overlay
      CONVERT    OVL  --  Convert overlay
      SP         OVL  --  Current user interface
      STANDARD   FMT  --  Standard style sheet
      BORLAND    UI   --  Borland advanced UI


6.  UPDATING TO SPRINT 1.01 (FOR SPRINT 1.00 USERS)
---------------------------------------------------
  If you are not interested in saving any changes you have made to
  Sprint program files (e.g., entries in your user dictionary or
  glossary, or modifications to printer drivers or existing UIs),
  simply delete all Sprint-related files (except for your documents,
  of course) and re-install the program.  Otherwise, follow the
  instructions below:

  1.  Delete the 1.00 editor and all user interface (UI) files.  These
      files are not compatible with version 1.01.

           At the DOS prompt type:  del SP.EXE
                                    del *.UI

  2.  If you have added to or modified your standard Sprint glossary
      (STANDARD.SPG), rename it to OLD.SPG.  If you don't rename it,
      the glossary will be overwritten during installation.

           At the DOS prompt type:  ren STANDARD.SPG OLD.SPG

  3.  If you have not modified STANDARD.FMT, go to step 4.  If you have
      modified it, note the changes you made since this file will be
      overwritten during installation and you will need to re-modify
      it.

  4.  Run the SP-SETUP program, and install the program files.  If you
      have installed the spell checker and thesaurus under version
      1.00, you must re-install them at this time.  NOTE:  You do not
      need to re-install printer or screen drivers unless you have been
      experiencing problems with them.

  5.  You should now remove the old dictionary and thesaurus files and
      update your user dictionary:

           At the DOS prompt type:  del USER.LX2
                                    ren USER.DIC USER.LX2
                                    del *.LEX

  6.  If you have not modified the Sprint macro file CORE.SPM, go onto
      step 7.  Otherwise, note the changes you have made.  The 1.00
      version of CORE.SPM is not compatible with this version, so you
      must re-modify the new version before compiling a macro that uses
      it.  NOTE:  The new version of CORE.SPM is located in
      SPMSOURC.ARC (on disk 2), and must be unpacked before it can be
      modified.

  7.  If you have modified any other Sprint .SPM file, it can be made
      compatible with 1.01 by changing all references to the following
      files:
                 1.00 Name                    1.01 Name
                 ------------                 ------------
                 AMERICAN.LEX                 AMERICAN.LX1
                 AMERHYPH.LEX      --->       AMERICAN.HY1
                 THESAUR.LEX                  AMERICAN.THS
                 USER.DIC                     USER.LX2
                 SP.EXE                       SPEDIT.EXE

      Once you have modified your .SPM files, you can re-compile them
      to rebuild your customized UIs.  NOTE:  SP-SETUP will not modify
      any of your existing .SPM files.  The new .SPM files are located
      in the file SPMSOURC.ARC (on disk 2), and must be unpacked before
      they can be used.

  8.  If you renamed your standard glossary in step 2, merge your old
      glossary (OLD.SPG) back into STANDARD.SPG:

           1.  Start Sprint.
           2.  Press Alt-U for the utilities menu.
           3.  Press G for glossary.
           4.  Press M for merge.
           5.  Type in: OLD.SPG and press Enter.
           6.  Select "Don't merge" for all duplicate items.
           7.  Exit from Sprint, selecting "Yes" when asked if you
               want to save changes.
           8.  At the DOS prompt type:  del OLD.SPG
