make of computer. Remember, Radix has both serial and parallel
interfaces, so there's nothing extra to buy!
If you're not a programmer, you'll be most interested in Chap
ters 3,4, and 5. They explain - in non-programmer's language -
how to get the most from Radix using some of the most popular
software packages on the market today. You won't need to know a
word of BASIC!
For you who wish to design your own characters, do your
own plotting, your own infinite variety of dot graphic patterns
and densities, you'll have a ball! For you, Chapters 7 through 12
are a must, and of course everybody should look at Chapter 14,
which tells how to maintain your Radix for a long and carefree
life.
In this manual there are plenty of example programs to dem-
onstrate and show off all of Radix's features. There are even two
utility programs included: one which allows you to design your
own printing characters on your computer screen and one to set
up Radix the way you want it with just a few keystrokes. Since
many Radix users have IBM Personal Computers (or the equiva-
lent) all the example programs are written in Microsoft BASIC for
the IBM. But throughout the manual, users of other computers
will find hints on how to make Radix work with their computer.
And in the appendix, complete translations of the utility pro-
grams for several popular computers are included.
So, gentle reader, with this manual we hand you the key to the
wonderful world of Radix. May you enjoy years of handsome,
fast, and carefree printing!
