BookMaker/ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

HOT OFF THE PRESS - BOOKMAKER AND BOOKWORM
� RESOURCE and Keyboard Technology Ltd.
Please find enclosed a pre-release demonstration copy of BookMaker. Some
functions are not implemented on this demo version - print, save, fonts, and
notepad. Mainly because we hope you like it enough to buy a copy! The full
release version will also include 'BookWorm' to read books or display pages
in a carousel. A talking BookMaker module will be released later in the
year.
Well designed software should need very little in the way of documentation,
but just a few notes to get you started.
Click on !System. Double click !Bookmaker to load the application onto the
icon bar. Click menu on the BookMaker icon on the icon bar, and select
'config'. If you click on any of the icons (not the radio button) it will
open the configuration options for that function, with a short description
of what each item does. This saves me doing a description with these notes!
To start your book, click on the BookMaker icon on the icon bar which will
open a window with the master toolbar. Click on either the text or pictures
icon. If you start with pictures, click on the picture library icon and
drag a picture into the window. A 'backdrop' will always appear in the
background so if you want to modify it in any way you will need to select
the background canvas from the master toolbox icon. The title bar will
always show whether you are in the background or foreground. A 'backdrop'
is a special sprite in that nothing can be pushed behind it. To make a
sprite or some text a 'backdrop', click on the sprite and choose
Selection=>Make BackDrop from the menu.
To add text, simply double click in the window where you want the text to
appear. This will automatically open a text window with the caret and the
text selection icons. Type in your text (or drag an edit file into the text
window). You can change its appearance by clicking on the frame icon to
add a speech bubble or clicking on the text change icon to alter the text
colour.
To go back to the master toolbar icons, click on the top icon on the toolbar
you are working on. Alternatively if you click on a picture object this
will automatically open the picture entry toolbar. Similarly with text.
Moving text or graphics - just click on the text or object and drag it to
its new position.
Resizing a sprite or text area - Click on the object you want to resize and
a box will appear around it. You will see a small square box in the bottom
right corner - drag with adjust to resize the object or text block. Picture
objects can be halved or doubled in size by clicking on the relevant icon on
the toolbar. If you cannot select an object or text it is because it is on
a different canvas to the one you are working on - go back to the main
toolbar and select the other canvas (foreground/background swap tool).
Function key shortcuts - the function keys f1 to f5 change the tools
available.
Groups - you can group objects together. The demo only allows you to group
sprites. To do this click select on the sprite then click adjust on the
next (and so on). Anything you now choose to do affects the whole group.
To remove a sprite from the group double click on the sprite with the
adjust button. There are more group functions in the full version.
Mouse control - adjust button functions
1. Resizing as above.
2. Page control toolbar, clicking with adjust on page forward �
or page back � icons will take you to the last or first page in the book.
4. Pushing an object back with adjust will move it back through
1 object at a time (but not through the 'backdrop').
To see an example book, drag a book into the window or onto the icon on the
icon bar. Set the screen mode to 15, 21 or 28 for the best results.
BookMaker is very economical with memory, sprites and draw files are
automatically shared. We hope you enjoy using this demonstration version of
BookMaker which is released in November 1992. If you have any comments about
the program, we would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
BookMaker 2 and BookWorm will be released in November 1992 @�49.50.
