Documentation

Documentation for Auto-Text is available in PDF form from the Silicon 
Prairie web site. (http://www.SiliconPrairieSoftware.com)

Installation
------------
Perform the following steps to install Auto-Text for Sun Solaris:
1. Decide where you want the plug-in to be located and copy it there.
   Remember this location.
   
2. Add an entry describing your client to the
   $FMHOME/fminit/UILanguage/APIArea/apiclients file, where UILanguage
   is a user-interface language directory. For example, if youÕre using the US
   English version of a FrameMaker product, you edit the file
   $FMHOME/fminit/usenglish/APIArea/apiclients. The entry should look
   like the following:
   
   <APIclient
      <Name autotext>
      <CommandLine xxxxx>
   >
   
   Replace the xxxxxx with the complete path to the autotext 
   executable. This is the location you decided in step 1.
   
3. Decide where you want the AutoText.fm file located. If you want to share 
   the same set of Auto-Text items among several users, copy the AutoText.fm 
   file to the ÒfminitÓ directory where you have FrameMaker installed.
   If you want individual users to have their own set of Auto-Text items, copy
   the AutoText.fm document to each userÕs home directory.
   If you do not have write access to the ÒfminitÓ directory, copy the
   AutoText.fm file to your home directory.
   
4. Restart FrameMaker.

Shareware notice
----------------
Auto-Text is shareware. If you find Auto-Text useful, please pay the 
shareware fee. Once you pay the shareware fee, instructions will be sent 
to you that describe how to disable the registration remider displayed 
each time you start FrameMaker. The $10 cost is minimal, given the amount 
of time and hassle that Auto-Text saves! Paying the shareware fee also 
encourages development of other tools like Auto-Text.

Kagi, a shareware payment service, handles payment processing for 
Auto-Text. Ordinarily, a registration application is used to
create an electronic or paper document that can be sent to them indicating
the form of payment. Unfortunately, this application is available only for
Windows and the Macintosh. It is _not_ available for Solaris. To register
Auto-Text, we recommend that you download either the Macintosh or Windows
version of Auto-Text, then use the Register application that comes in
either package. If you are unable to use either register using the 
Macintosh or Windows versions of Register, you may want to register 
online through the Silicon Prairie web site:

If none of these payment methods is possible, please e-mail Silicon 
Prairie Software so payment can be arranged. Our e-mail address 
is SPSoftware@kagi.com.
