**************** GUI Group Magazine!*******************

I believe that this is the first ever User's Group Magazine in
true (digital paper) format. We hope to publish an electronic
reprint of each quarterly hard copy magazine about thirty
days after our members have received the paper issue.
Eventually, we will go entirely digital.

This electronic version has been published with consideration to
it's being run on a variety of platforms, so aesthetics have
suffered to allow for viewing at color levels from the generic
SVGA driver that accompanies Windows up to drivers that allow
16.7 million colors. However, I strongly recommend using 
800x600 and something above 256 colors for best viewing.

GW2TMF-2.ZIP expands into this read1st file, and the
GW2TMF-2.EXE file. After unzipping, just RUN the resulting
GW2TMF-2.EXE file under Windows, and the magazine will appear.

While you may print the file, it does require a LARGE TEMP file
that it uses as a print buffer, so be sure you have available
disk space. (In one earlier test run, the temp file was 40 Megs.
Of course, it disappears after the printing is finished.)
The file also takes a long time to print. For both those reasons,
you may find that printing a few pages at a time works best.

Screen viewing requires you to use the PAGE (up & down) keys
to scroll. There is a drop down menu at the top of the mini-viewer
that will also allow you to go to a specific page, or you can use the
Ctrl key with the PAGE keys to move page by page. Common Ground 
is trying to come up with a way to do away with the scrolling, but no
solution is currently available that will allow for the magazine format.

I would be remiss if I didn't give some thanks.
