Subject: FTNOTE14 WordStar footnoter now available

FTNOTE, the footnote program for use with WordStar, has been updated
to version 1.4 and is now available from SIMTEL20.  A short list of
the updates and a general description of the program follow the
directory listing:

Filename                       Type     Bytes   CRC

Directory MICRO:<CPM.WSTAR>
       FTNOTE14.COM.1          COM      17408  F366H
       FTNOTE14.DOC.2          ASCII    25756  D58DH
       FTNOTE14.DQC.1          COM      16256  10D7H
       FTNOTE14.HEX.1          ASCII    42382  449BH
       FTNOTE14.INF.1          ASCII     1457  3BC1H

Version 1.4 incorporates several improvements over the previous
version 1.33 of FTNOTE.COM.  The DOC file has been updated
accordingly.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

(1)  Larger page numbers are now supported (up to 999).  The page
    number reference syntax has been changed accordingly, and is
    no longer compatible with that of versions 1.3x.
(2)  Larger footnote numbers (up to 999) are now available as an
    option.  (Old style numbers to 99 are still supported.)
(3)  The footnote separator line length can now be adjusted by a
    user patch.  In addition, if the character "_" is used, this
    line will no longer collide with footnote superscripts.

MINOR BUGS FIXED:

(1)  "-e" and "-r" modes now allow "#1" to remain in footnotes.
    Previously "-e" replaced "#1" with "##" in the notes.  This has
    no effect on format mode, but caused misnumbered end notes, when
    "-n" mode was used.
(2)  The ".FI" dot command now looks for the specified file on the
    same drive as the original file.  Previously it looked on the
    default drive, even if a drive was specified on the command line.
(3)  Attempts to set an already set page marker now generate the
    error message "! duplicate ref".  Previously the original setting
    was simply overridden.

     FTNOTE.COM is a formatting utility for WordStar files.  Its main
function is to allow the printing of WordStar documents with page-bottom
footnotes, but it does internal page referencing and improved block
formatting as well.
     FTNOTE will automatically move your footnotes into and out of your
text file; number them for use as end notes; or produce a printable file
with them at page bottom.
     FTNOTE is an effective but simple program.  It does NOT attempt to
duplicate the existing capabilities of WordStar: editing, justification,
or printing.  It is a utility to be used in conjunction with WordStar.

FEATURES:   * simple, natural file format
           * automatic separation of text and notes
           * will produce end notes or footnotes as desired
           * automatic footnote numbering

           * long notes will continue on next page
           * many formatting options allow flexible results
           * automatic internal page reference numbering
           * useful improved figure-block formatting
           * can be run FROM WORDSTAR with Main Menu "R" command
