I will shortly publish a cdrom for the legal market, and would appreciate
some feedback on the following issue.
Would the user rather have the original format of the
hardcopy legal text on the screen (not in proportional
fonts under DOS!) thus ending each line of text in a
hard-retun code (in Wordperfect parlance) or rather have
the text free-flow (wrap) as necessary to the dimensions of
the screen (column width) and thus only ending each
paragraph with a hard-return code, but not each line?
Note the the former choice is problematic if the original text has
more than 80 characters per line under standard DOS.
Any suggestions, comments, reflections or ideas are welcome.
Hopefully, I will get it to run on Windows and the Mac shortly, but
I anticipate my greatest market will be DOS users. Given the
graphics screens of the GUI's, The above issues may lead to a
different result. Any comments?
Sincerely
Henry Manaster
