      [Golden Software]
      GRAPHER=C:\GRAF4WIN
      
      If you need to delete GRAPHER for Windows you can delete these
      two lines also.

   o  If the installation fails for any reason, the Setup
      program leaves a WGSETUP.LOG file in your Windows
      directory, which may contain information useful to
      you and/or our Tech Support staff in determining
      the cause of the problem.  If the installation fails,
      a temporary directory might remain on your hard disk. 
      The name of this directory is: ~WGSTP.T 
      Remove this directory if installation fails.

                                        
CHANGES TO GRAPHER FOR WINDOWS
------------------------------

This addendum covers the changes to GRAPHER for Windows in version 1.2.  
The topics covered are:

Changes to the Worksheet and Opening Worksheets

The size of the worksheet is only limited by the amount of available RAM on 
your computer.  This means that there is not a fixed limit on the number of 
rows possible in a worksheet.  

When opening a data file, the File Open dialog box has changed to the Open 
Data dialog box.  The Pick One dialog box is now called the Select Worksheet 
dialog box.  When saving data files the Save As dialog box has changed.


Printing Several Graphs at One Time

This new feature allows you to print several completed graph [.GRF] files 
at one time or print several related graphs based on a single template graph.


Opening GRAPHER for DOS Files

You can open GRAPHER for DOS files by designating them from the File Open 
dialog box.


Editing Line Styles

This new feature allows you to create your own custom line styles for use 
on a graph.  You can save the line styles you create for use in future 
GRAPHER for Windows sessions.  In addition, dashed and dotted lines can 
be printed at any line thickness.


Additional Symbols in Default Symbol Set

The Default Symbol Set now contains additional symbols which are drawn 
with a medium line weight.

      
CONVERTING DOS GRAPHER FILES
----------------------------
   o  GRAPHER(tm) for Windows will now convert old DOS GRAPHER(tm) files on
      the fly. To open a DOS GRAPHER [.GRF] file choose Open from the File menu in 
      GRAPHER for Windows and the file will be converted to the correct format.

   o  In addition to the GRAPHER icon, Setup places an icon called convert in
      the GOLDEN SOFTWARE file group.  This icon calls the convert program which 
      can be used to convert multiple DOS GRAPHER [.GRF] files to the Windows 
      [.GRF] file format.

EXAMPLE FILES
-------------
   o  The files SAMPLE?.GRF and TERNARY.GRF are examples
      of some of GRAPHER's capabilities to use error bars, 
      best fits, data point labels, text annotation and 
      clip art.  SELECT.GRF is provided to give you practice
      selecting different objects with the "Ctrl+click" method. 
      CHARSET.GRF is a graph containing various symbol sets for 
      viewing.


NETWORK INSTALLATION
--------------------
   GRAPHER can be installed to operate on networked computers
in one of two ways:

   1. Locally on a workstation's hard drive for exclusive
      use by that workstation.  When Setup asks for a
      destination directory, choose one on a local hard drive.

   2. The GRAPHER program files can reside remotely on a
      file server network drive.

      The network administrator should first log onto the file
      server.  When Setup asks for a destination directory,
      choose one on the file server.  Setup will then ask if
      you want to install GRAPHER in the file server directory
      for exclusive use by this computer or for shared access.

      Exclusive use is just like stand-alone use, except the file
      server network drive is used instead of the workstation's
      local drive.  No other action is needed.  However, the
      workstation must be logged onto the file server before
      running GRAPHER.

      If shared access is chosen, Setup will copy all the GRAPHER
      files, plus the Setup program and its associated files to
      the file server drive.  When Setup has completed, the
      installation diskettes are no longer needed.  It is highly
      recommended the administrator now flag the server directory
      read-only.  From each workstation that will be running
      GRAPHER off the file server, someone must log onto the
      server, start Windows and run the copy of Setup (SETUP.EXE)
      that's in the server directory.  When Setup asks for a
      destination directory, choose one on a local hard drive.
      Setup then allows two types of workstation installation:

         a) GRAPHER can be installed on the workstation's local
            hard drive for stand-alone use later (user does not
            have to be logged onto the server).  This is just
            like item #1 above.  When Setup asks for a destin-
            ation directory, choose one on a local hard drive.

         b) A few small GRAPHER files are copied from the server
            to the workstation, while the bulk of the GRAPHER
            files stay on the server.  This allows many such
            workstations to share a single copy of GRAPHER
            without having the files duplicated on each computer.

      *** ATTENTION: Using GRAPHER on more than one computer
      *** requires appropriate network or multiuser licenses!

GOLDEN SOFTWARE TYPEFACES
-------------------------
   Users of Golden Software's DOS GRAPHER product will
   probably recognize these 24 typeface names that appear
   in the GRAPHER for Windows Text Dialog:

      GS SET1
      GS SET2
      GS SET3
      GS SET4
      GS SET5
      GS SET6
      GS SET7
      GS SET8
      GS SET9
      GS SET10
      GS SET11
      GS SET12
      GS SET13
      GS SET14
      GS SET15
      GS SET16
      GS SET1FS
      GS SET4FS
      GS SET6FS
      GS SET10FS
      GS SET11FS
      GS SET1INT
      GS SET10INT
      GS CENTERED

   They correspond EXACTLY to the 24 DOS GRAPHER Symbol Sets
   described in Appendix B of the DOS GRAPHER Reference Manual.
   They are stroked faces provided for the convenience of those
   who either have DOS GRAPHER files they wish to use unmodified
   with GRAPHER for Windows, or for ex-DOS GRAPHER users who want
   to continue working with them.

   There are three additional Golden Software Symbol faces:

      GS Helv
      GS Roman
      GS Symbol

   each of which contains all 256 characters defined in the
   standard Windows ANSI character set.  GS Roman is a serif
   face (analogous to Tms Rmn or Times), GS Helv is a san-serif
   face (analogous to Helv or Arial) and GS Symbol corresponds
   to the Windows (or Postscript) Symbol, which contains Greek
   letters and various math symbols.  These faces are more
   useful to the user who doesn't care about DOS GRAPHER files
   or just needs a stroked face (maybe for use with plotters)
   that is laid-out like a "normal" Windows font.

   You may disable GRAPHER for Windows from using one or more
   of these faces by manually editing the GRAF4WIN.INI file and
   placing a semi-colon (;) at the beginning of the line
   containing the face's name. You will need to restart GRAPHER
   for the change to take effect.  They can be enabled later by
   just deleting the semi-colon.

   *** IMPORTANT: If only GS faces appear in the Text Dialog, don't 
   *** disable them all! Have at least GS Helv, Roman and Symbol enabled.

   To see what characters are available in a given typeface,
   along with the keyboard combinations to generate them, open
   the file CHARSET.GRF from within GRAPHER.  To see the
   complete character set for a specific typeface:

      a) Choose Select All from the Edit menu.

      b) Choose Text Attributes... from the Set menu.

      c) Select the typeface you want from the list box.
         Click OK.

NOTE TO ADOBE TYPE MANAGER USERS
--------------------------------
   GRAPHER will automatically access ATM faces if you have ATM
   version 1.5 or later.

   If you observe characters squeezed together or overlapping,
   especially when very small, then look in the "[Synonyms]" section
   of the ATM.INI file (kept in your Windows directory) and see if
   the typeface you are using appears in the list.  If so, ATM is
   substituting a Windows screen font at small sizes.  GRAPHER needs
   scalable typefaces.  Placing a semi-colon (;) at the front of
   the line disables ATM from making the substitution.  You will have
   to restart Windows for ATM to recognize the change.  Your other
   applications should still work fine with ATM.  If you ever need to 
   enable the substitution again, just delete the semi-colon.

   *** IMPORTANT: If you are running Windows 3.0 and don't have
   *** any Adobe Type Manager (ATM) typefaces active, the only
   *** faces you have to work with are the GS faces.  If only
   *** GS faces appear in the Text Dialog, don't disable them
   *** all! Have at least GS Helv, Roman and Symbol enabled.

LASERJET, DESKJET PRINTER INFORMATION
-------------------------------------
LaserJet 4 problems.
A problem can arise when printing on a LaserJet 4 (or 4M non-PostScript).
TrueType text blocks can be wider than requested or character spacing can
be grossly incorrect.  This has been fixed in version 31.V1.35 of the
LaserJet 4 driver. You can get this driver from CompuServe or from HP at
303-339-7009. 

If you are unable to get the new driver we recommend using the LaserJet
III driver if you experience the problem.

LaserJet Series II and III problems.
On HP LaserJet II and LaserJet III printers, single characters in the
axis labels, axis titles, and text blocks do not print.  In
Printer Setup Options: Turn on [x] Print TrueType as Graphics.
Use the Control Panel (Printers) to access the setup for your 
LaserJet printer.

DeskJet problems.
On HP DeskJet printers, the last character in any text string does not
print. Remove the semi-colon from the following lines in the GRAF4WIN.INI 
file:

       [GSIMAGE]
       Windows Picture:Printer:Text=0x8000


VIDEO PROBLEMS
--------------
On some video cards (ATI & Trident), the last character in text blocks
is not displayed; however, printing does not seem to be affected.

    Solution 1
    ----------
    Remove the semi-colon from the following lines in the GRAF4WIN.INI 
    file:

       [GSIMAGE]
       Windows Picture:Window:Text=0x8000


    Solution 2
    ----------
    Change video driver to use "plain" VGA.

REMOVING GRAPHER FOR WINDOWS
----------------------------
To remove the GRAPHER for Windows from your system, do the
following:

   1. Delete the "GRAPHER", "GRAPHER Notes" and
      "DOS .GRF Converter" icons from the "Golden Software"
      program group.

   2. Delete the "Golden Software" program group, if empty.

   3. Delete all the files in the "C:\GRAF4WIN" directory (or
      whatever directory you installed the program into).

   4. Remove the following lines from your WIN.INI file:
         [Golden Software]
         GRAPHER=X:\XXXXX
      where "X:\XXXXXX" is the drive and directory GRAPHER for Windows
      was installed into.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
---------------------------------------------------------------
GRAPHER has an error logging facility that will help to solve
your problems.  To initialize this feature exit GRAPHER and at 
the Program Manager click once on the GRAPHER icon.  Then press
"ALT+ENTER"; this will bring up the File Properties for GRAPHER.
Click on the line that says Command Line.  Change this line 
from "C:\GRAF4WIN\GRAF4WIN.EXE" to "C:\GRAF4WIN\GRAF4WIN.EXE /L".
Now when you click OK and go back to the Program Manager you 
can start GRAPHER.  Next try to duplicate your problem.  After
your GRAPHER session there will be an ASCII file in your GRAPHER
directory called "GRAF4WIN.MSG".  You can upload this file to
us on our BBS or send it in on a floppy disk.  Please include
a description of your problem and include the file(s) necessary
to duplicate the problem with your message file.
