  1. SQZ2WQ1 (SQZ2WQ1.WQ1)
  ==========================

  Quattro Pro for Windows cannot translate files compressed with
  SQZ! or SQZ! Plus.  It is necessary to uncompress any files
  before they can be loaded into Quattro Pro for Windows.  SQZ2WQ1
  is a Quattro Pro for DOS utility that converts .WQ!, .WKZ, .WK!,
  and .WK$ compressed files to the Quattro Pro for DOS native WQ1
  file format.  SQZ2WQ1 allows you to uncompress multiple
  compressed files at one time.

  Open the file SQZ2WQ1 in Quattro Pro for DOS.  To execute
  SQZ2WQ1, press [ALT+G].  A menu will appear that displays the
  type of squeeze files to convert.  You can choose a specific
  format or choose "All" from the menu.  "All" will convert all
  .WQ!, .WKZ, .WK!, and .WK$ files in a specified directory to .WQ1
  files.  The macro will also prompt you to enter the source
  directory (the directory that contains the compressed files) and
  the destination directory (the directory where you would like to
  place the resulting .WQ1 files).  It is recommended that these
  two directories be different.

  Note: If a Postscript printer is the default printer, no files
  will be translated.  Set your default printer to a non-Postscript
  printer before running SQZ2WQ1.

  ============================== END =============================


  2. WS_LIB (WS_LIB.WB1)
  ==========================

  WS_LIB is a utility that lets you convert a Quattro Pro for DOS
  workspace (.WSP) into a Quattro Pro for Windows notebook (.WB1).
  When the workspace is converted, each Quattro Pro for DOS
  spreadsheet in the workspace will be placed on a seperate page in
  the notebook.  The pages of the notebook will be arranged in the
  same order as the spreadsheets appear in the workspace.  The
  notebook file will be named with the workspace's orginal name
  with a .WB1 file extension (Quattro Pro for Windows' native file
  format).  Spreadsheet links that exist between files in the
  workspace will be converted to notebook links in the new
  notebook.  Any link from files in the workspace to a file outside
  the workspace will remain linked to the original file.

  Upon opening WS_LIB, you will be presented with a description of
  the file and a SpeedButton entitled "Convert Workspace".  To
  execute the macro, choose the SpeedButton or press [CTRL+W].  The
  WS_LIB file will be minimized and a file control dialog box will
  appear.  Enter the name of the workspace file that you want to
  convert.  When the approriate workspace file has been selected,
  choose OK and the macro will start the conversion process.

  Although WS_LIB provides an efficient method for converting
  workspaces, it does have limitations:

     1.  .WK3 (1-2-3 v3.x) files cannot be converted.

     2.  Compressed files (eg., WQ!, WK!, and WKZ) cannot be
         converted.

     3.  Formulas that include multiple links to different files in
         a single formula may not be converted.


  TIP: WS_LIB makes it easy to convert a group of linked
  spreadsheets into a single notebook.  To convert a group of
  linked files, create a workspace in Quattro Pro for DOS and use
  WS_LIB to convert the workspace into a notebook.

  It is not difficult to create a workspace from a set of linked
  files in Quattro Pro for DOS:

     1.  Open one of the linked spreadsheets.  If possible, choose
         the spreadsheet that is the master spreadsheet with links
         to all the other supporting spreadsheets.  A menu will
         appear prompting for Hot Link options.

     2.  Choose Load Supporting.

     3.  Open any other files that you want included in the
         resulting notebook.

     4.  Choose /File | Workspace | Save.  Give the workspace a
         name.

  The workspace can now be converted into a Quattro Pro for Windows
  notebook using WS_LIB.

  3. DELMAKER (DELMAKER.WB1)
  ==========================

  DELMAKER is a macro driven application that lets you create an
  ASCII delimited text file from a block of cells within your
  notebook.  The delimited formats can be Comma & "" Delimited,
  Commas Only, or User Defined (where you specify any
  symbol/character to use as the delimiter).


  How to use DELMAKER:

     1.  Open the macro library DELMAKER.WB1.

     2.  Open the file from which you wish to extract data.  Make
         sure it is the current active window.

     3.  Press: [CTRL+D]

     4.  At this point, the DELMAKER dialog box will appear.  Set
         your options (see the descriptions below).

     5.  When DELMAKER has completed exporting your block to the
         delimited ASCII file, it will display a completion
         message.  Choose OK to clear the message.  Press [CTRL+D]
         to create another delimited file.


  The DELMAKER dialog box provides the following choices:

   - Output File Name

       Specify a file name for the delimited ASCII file that will
       be created.  By default, the file name will be given a .PRN
       extension.  If you wish the extension to be something other
       than .PRN, specify it along with the file name.

   - Delimited File Format

       Comma & "" Delimited uses commas between each cell (field)
       in a row (record), and quotes surrounding the contents of
       each field (eg., "one","two").

       Only Commas uses commas between each cell (field) in a row
       (record) (eg., one,two).

       User Defined uses a symbol/character that you provide as the
       delimiter.  This is similar to Only Commas except you
       provide the delimiter (eg., one;two).

   - Blank Cells As

       Blank Cells As lets you specify how DELMAKER will treat
       blank cells in your notebook.  Blanks (the default) will
       write out blank cells as blank labels.  Zeros will write out
       your empty cells as zero values.

   - Value Cells As

       Value Cells As lets you specify the way your values will be
       saved.  Numbers (the default) will convert values to a
       General display format before saving them into the extracted
       file.  Labels will retain cell formatting (Currency,
       Scientific, Etc.) but will store all values as labels.  This
       method of saving data insures that the data translates
       with its format into other programs.

       NOTE: If you have dates in your notebook, use Labels.
       Otherwise, the dates will be saved as date serial numbers.
       These numbers may be meaningless to some applications.

   - Source Block

       The source block is the block of cells in your notebook
       that you wish to export to the delimited ASCII file.  This
       must by a contiguous block of cells.  You cannot specify
       multiple blocks or multiple pages.

  =============================== END =============================


  4.  TAB&ENT (TAB&ENT.WB1)
  ==========================

  TAB&ENT.WB1 is a macro library which contains two useful macros.
  The first macro (Tab Label) allows you to use a block of labels
  to name notebook page tabs.  For example, you could use a block
  containing the names of the 12 months of the year to name 12 page
  tabs with the month names.  This feature can be especially useful
  when used in conjunction with SpeedFill.  The second macro
  (Enter) allows you to enter data into a selected block of a
  notebook without using arrow keys to move the cell selector.

  When TAB&ENT is loaded, a startup macro (named \0) will add Tab
  Label, Enter, and Remove to the Tools menu.  Then, the startup
  macro will hide the macro library notebook.  To use the macros,
  use the menu selections on the Tools menu or use the CTRL+key
  shortcuts to execute each macro.  To remove the additonal
  selections from the Tools menu and close the macro library,
  choose Tools | Remove.

  The first item added to the bottom of the Tools menu is Tab
  Label.  Tab Label allows you to use a block of labels to name the
  pages in a notebook.  This macro can also be executed by pressing
  [CTRL+T].  When you execute the macro, a dialog box appears
  requesting a block of labels.  This block should contain the
  names to assign to the notebook pages (in one column).  The
  dialog box also requests a page to start labeling.  The page can
  be specified as a page letter or as any block on the page where
  you want to start labeling.  After choosing a block of labels and
  a page to start labeling, choose OK.  The page names are taken
  from the specified block.

  For example, to name pages B through M of a notebook with the 12
  months of the year:

     1.  File | Open | TAB&ENT.WB1

     2.  Choose OK

     3.  Open or activate the notebook where you want to name pages

     4.  In cell A:A1 of the notebook, enter January

     5.  Select A:A1..A:A12

     6.  Choose the SpeedFill button on the Speedbar

     7.  Choose Tools | Tab Label or press [CTRL+T]

     8.  In the "Page to start labeling" edit field,enter B:

     9.  Choose OK

  The Tab Label dialog box also has a Reset All button that deletes
  all the page tab names in the entire notebook.  Be patient; it
  may take some time to delete all the page names.  Even if there
  are only a few page names, the macro must go through each of the
  256 pages to make sure that it has deleted all the page names.
  Be careful when selecting this button; because this command
  cannot be undone with the Undo feature.

  The second item added to the Tools menu is Enter.  The Enter
  macro allows you to select a block and enter data into that block
  of cells without pressing the arrow keys to advance the cell
  selector.  Because the ENTER key advances the cell selector, this
  command is especially convenient if you use the numeric keypad
  for data entry.  You can enter data by row or by column.  For
  example, to enter the numbers 1,7,13, and 25 in the block A1..B2
  of a notebook:

     1.  File | Open | TAB&ENT.WB1

     2.  Choose OK

     3.  Open or activate the notebook where you want to enter data

     4.  Select the block A1..B2

     5.  Choose Tools | Enter

     6.  Choose OK

     7.  To enter in the order A1,A2,B1,B2, select Enter by Column

     8.  Type 1 and press [ENTER]

     9.  Type 7 and press [ENTER]

    10.  Type 13 and press [ENTER]

    11.  Type 25 and press [ENTER]

  To end this data entry mode, move the pointer to a different cell
  or select a menu command and press [ENTER].  The indicator on the
  status line (bottom right of the screen) indicates the cell the
  macro expects the pointer to be in when [ENTER] is pressed.  As
  long as you return to the cell shown by the indicator before you
  press [ENTER], you can move the cell pointer around using the
  arrow keys or the mouse and make changes to other cells.  If you
  move to a different page before ending the macro, end the macro
  by pressing [ENTER] when the cell selector is in a DIFFERENT cell
  from the one shown by the indicator.  The indicator will change
  to READY when you have ended data entry mode.

  The Enter macro can also be activated by pressing [CTRL+E] after
  selecting the block into which you want to enter data.  If you
  use [CTRL+E] to execute the macro, it will not ask which
  direction to move the pointer.  The pointer will move in the
  direction you selected the last time you executed the macro from
  the menu.

  The final item added to the Tools menu is Remove.  Choose Remove
  to remove Tab Label, Enter, and Remove from the Tools menu.
  Tools | Remove also closes the macro library.

  CAUTION: Each time this notebook is Retrieved or Opened it will
  add items to the Tools menu.  To avoid adding extra items to the
  Tools do not Retrieve or Open TAB&ENT a second time unless you
  have used Tools | Remove to remove the three extra menu items.
  Because Remove will only remove one set of added menu items, you
  may end up with extra items on the Tools menu.  To get rid of
  these items, you must exit Quattro Pro.  The Tools menu will
  return to normal the next time you start Quattro Pro.

  ============================== END =============================


  5. POINTD (POINTD.WB1)
  ==========================

  POINTD contains the game Point Duty.  The object of Point Duty is
  to clear a mine field without blowing yourself up.  To play Point
  Duty, retrieve the notebook POINTD.WB1.  The rules of play can be
  found by choosing Help from the main menu.

  Point Duty is started by the startup macro named \0.  If the
  macro does not execute to start the game, verify that Property |
  Application | Startup | Startup Macro is set to \0.

  POINTD writes your high scores to the disk when you quit the
  game.  You should not run the game from a write protected disk.
  Copy the file POINTD.WB1 to a directory on the hard drive before
  loading POINTD.WB1 into Quattro Pro.

  CAUTION: Always close this notebook using the Quit menu command.
  If this notebook is closed through the File Control box or by 
  exiting Quattro Pro, several application properties will be 
  changed.  The following properties of Quattro Pro will be changed 
  the next time you start Quattro Pro:

      -  There will be no secondary SpeedBar

      -  There will be no input line

      -  There will be no status line

  To restore these features:

     1.  Choose Property | Application

     2.  Choose Display.  Under Display, check Show SpeedBar, Show
         Input Line, Show Status Line

     3.  If you were using a secondary SpeedBar, choose SpeedBar
         and select the secondary SpeedBar

     4.  Choose OK

  While Quattro Pro was not specifically designed as an environment
  for creating entertainment software, Point Duty demonstrates the
  power of the Quattro Pro for Windows application building
  environment.

  ============================== END =============================


  6. BIO (BIO.WB1)
  ==========================

  This application (BIO.WB1) generates a simple biorhythm chart
  based upon your date of birth.  The macro will chart your
  biorhythm over a 19 day cycle including four days prior to the
  current date and 14 days into the future.  This notebook was
  designed in the standard VGA resolution (640x480).

  BIO is started by a startup macro called \0.  If the macro does
  not execute to start the application, verify that Property |
  Application | Startup | Startup Macro is set to \0.

  To use BIORHYTHM:

     1.  Choose File | Open | BIO.WB1

     2.  For instructions, choose About Bio on the main menu or
         choose the About Bio SpeedButton

  CAUTION: Always close this notebook using the Quit button or the
  Quit menu command.  If this notebook is closed through the File
  Control box or by exiting Quattro Pro, several application
  properties will be changed.  The following properties of Quattro
  Pro will be changed the next time you start Quattro Pro:

      -  There will be no secondary SpeedBar

         and select the secondary SpeedBar

     4.  Choose OK

  This notebook is not intended for serious use nor for the
  promotion of astrology.

  ============================== END =============================


  7. AMORT (AMORT.WB1)
  ==========================

  AMORT.WB1 is a notebook that helps you create an amortization
  table for a loan.  An amortization table breaks out the interest
  and principal for each period of a loan and shows the balance
  remaining on the loan each period.

  To create an amortization table for a loan, enter the principal,
  annual interest rate, term of the loan (in months), and balloon
  payment (if any) on the page Loan_Terms.  Your scheduled monthly
  payment will be calculated in this table.  Below the table are
  two SpeedButtons.  The first button is labeled "Help" and
  provides help on using the notebook.  The second button is
  labeled "View a Year".  Use this SpeedButton to examine or change
  the values for any year of the loan.

  The amortization table is calculated on the next 31 pages in the
  notebook.  On the loan pages that show the amortization schedule,
  you will see how much principal remains before each monthly
  payment, the portion of each monthly payment that is applied to
  interest, and the portion of each monthly payment that reduces
  the principal.  You can also enter additional principal payments.

  The table can handle up to a 31 year loan.  If your loan has a
  shorter term, the extra entries in the table will appear as
  0 or blank.
