%C%%H2%PipeDream demonstration

You are now looking at the demonstration 
version of PipeDream.  This is identical to 
PipeDream itself except that a number of 
facilities have not been installed. The missing 
facilities are:






To move the flashing cursor around use the 
arrow keys to the right of the keyboard.  Pg Dn 
and Pg Up move down and up in screenfuls. To 
move to columns to the right press the TAB key. 









Unfortunately it is not possible to describe 
all of PipeDream here, but here are a few 
hints.

%H2%Menus

All commands are available from the menus.  
You can pull down the Files menu by pressing 
Alt-F or by simply pressing and releasing the 
Alt key.  Use the left and right arrow keys to 
select other menus, and the up and down arrow 
keys to select a menu entry.  Press Esc to 
leave a menu.

%H2%Dialog boxes

Some commands need more information, for 
example you need to supply a file name to the 
Load command.  These commands present you with 
a dialog box in the middle of the screen, into 
which you type the information.  When you are 
happy with the information in the dialog box 
press Enter.  To abandon a dialog box press 
Esc.




%C%%H2%What is PipeDream?

PipeDream provides you with powerful word 
processing, spreadsheet and database facilities 
in a simple, easily learnt manner.  

PipeDream is ideal for all applications 
involving numbers and text including: letters, 
technical reports, invoices, party invitations, 
portfolio management, cash flow forecasts, 
mail-shots, sales ledgers...

PipeDream is available for the Acorn Archimedes  
from Colton Software and from all good Acorn 
dealers.  It is also available for the IBM PC 
and compatibles and is built into the Z88 
computer, available from Cambridge Computer.  










%H2%Compatibility

All versions of PipeDream are file-compatible 
so files created in PipeDream on one computer 
can be used in PipeDream on any other.  And all 
versions of PipeDream are keystroke compatible 
so once you have learnt it on one computer you 
can use it on any other.

PipeDream is also file compatible with View 
Professional on the BBC Computer so you can 
transfer files between your Archimedes and BBC 
computers with no loss of information.

The IBM PC version is compatible with the 
Master 512 so View Professional users with 
a Master 512 can now have much bigger files in 
memory.











The example on the next screen shows you how 
numbers and words can be mixed together.  Note 
that the total has been carried forward into 
the text beneath.  Try typing in new prices and 
watch the totals update themselves.

To type in a new price, move the flashing 
cursor to one of the slots containing a price 
by pressing the TAB key and the arrow keys.  
When you have got to the right slot you will 
see the present value in the slot appear up at 
the top left of the screen, to the right of the 
slot reference.

To enter a new number simply type in a number 
and press Enter.

%C%%H2%Slot types

You may have noticed that PipeDream has two 
types of slots - textual and numeric.  These 
sentences are in textual slots whilst the 
numbers below are in numeric slots:

%V%%R%%LC%123

Try entering numbers and formulae in numeric 
slots by moving to a blank slot, pressing F2, 
typing the number and pressing Enter.

PipeDream has many functions which can be used 
in numeric slots.  These are listed in the HELP 
screens which you can see by pressing F1 (HELP).
