---------------------------------------------------------------------
A new updated version 4.0 of TinkBar Lite and TinkBar for Word Pro for OS/2
(and Windows too) is now available from the TinkBar Web Page.
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/tink/tinkbar.htm
TinkBar works with ALL official Lotus Word Pro and SmartSuite releases on all
supported OS's. Extra effort was taken to preserve OS/2 parity with all
functions.
Highlights of What's New in Version 4.00 TinkBar (T) and TinkLite (TL)
- More versatility with characters, they can now be inserted in between
text. (both bars)
- Extra quotes (requested by Father Winston). (T)
- The Ellipsis (why didn't I think of this the first time). (T) - Extra
icons to create more specialized envelopes and have them handy
for use. (T)
- Envelope SmartMasters to otherwise inspire or make you laugh your way
into creating your own, if you haven't already.(both bars)
special setup is required
- Footnote and Endnote icons. (T)
- An Endnote SmartMaster that provides superscripted endnotes. (T) - A
Script for copying endnotes into a separate, malleable document. (T) - A
document that quickly assigns hotkey combos (T)
Included Icons Will Perform the Following
- Send a file to your fax printer (many versions of WinFax and FaxWorks
are supported).
- Print a file immediately, without stopping at the print dialog box.
- Print only certain pages of a file quickly, those you choose.
- Insert Curly Quotes. (not all quotes are supported in the TL)
- Change the page color to an easy view vanilla color.
- Change the page color back to white or a currently used SmartMaster's
color for printing.
- Insert the Endash, Emdash, Ellipsis (T), Legal Section Mark, Copyrite,
Trademark, or Registered Symbols
- Insert an empty checkbox, an "x'd" checkbox, a checked checkbox (T)
- Hop through a document from beginning to end, seeking (one at a time)
and deleting frames. Nice for HTML documents.
- Switch between different Envelope SmartMasters. (two in TL and four in T)
- Switch back to the Lotus default envelope. (T)
- Insert varying flavors of footnotes and endnotes. (T)
- Copy the Endnotes division to a separate file. (T)
- Provide a SmartMaster for endnotes that are superscript (T)
An online manual comes in LWP document form with the TinkBar
Also new is a WinOS2 based installation program. Version 4.0 does require
WinOS2 support to perform the installation. A new version 4.01 REXX based
install is already in the works for users without WinOS2. All setup is now
performed for you and an uninstall function is provided. A new announcement
will be posted when version 4.01 is ready, Please hold on if you don't have
WinOS2 support. It takes time to write this complicated install.
A future version 5.0 will include Network based TinkBar. Version 4.0 currently
will require that the scripts, icons, and smasters directories reside on local
disk drives only. Additional requirements can be found on the TinkBar home
page.
TinkBar is not a supported product of Lotus Development Corporation. TinkBar
does have a strong OS/2 user base that will continue to be supported. We ain't
Lotus!
Follow up questions you may have should be directed above or to USENET group
comp.os.os2.apps. Additional Freeware may also be found in the GO WORDPRO
Compuserve forum library and the TinkBar home page. Additional suggestions
will be given serious consideration by posting a mail message to the TinkBar
home page. Suggestions having broad appeal get the most consideration.
TinkBar is the work of "Tink" Long and Paul Blais. TinkBar Lite includes
contributions from the members of the Lotus "L-Team" Compuserve volunteers.
TinkBar Lite has and always will be freeware for all Word Pro users.
