[comp.sys.amiga] CygnusEd Pro II packaging

johnl@tw-rnd.SanDiego.NCR.COM (John Lindwall) (12/19/89)

My thanks to ASDG for the recent posting about the status of upgrades on
CEDPRO II.  It was mentioned that the software is being shipped out (at
least initially) without the boxes.  I think this is great, cause I'd
rather not wait any longer to get my upgrade to this wonderful editor.

My upgrade check and disk went in the mail last week.

----------

Questions:

What is the packaging of CEDPRO II? IE. My vintage copy of original CEDPRO
has a ring-bound 8.5x11 binder.  I've seen later packages that had a spiral-
bound (?) 4.25x6.5 book.  What is the latest format?  I prefer my large
manual.

Is the box intended to serve as a cover for the manual? (like Manx C, or
asy IBM PC software).  I mean, is it a sturdy box with one side left open
so you can stick the box in your bookshelf and remove/replace the manual
from it as needed?  Or is the box just a pretty container to keep all the
stuff in one piece?

If the the box is designed to be used in a bookshelf (I wish I knew what
this format is called!) as described above, then I hope I get the option of
receiving one of them when they are available.  If it is just a nicety, then
I don't need it.

------------

I hope I receive a reply (and my new editor!), and posted this since I
thought others may be interested.  I am not affiliated with ASDG except
as a very happy customer.

PS Is ASDG ever going to offer an upgrade to Facc II to allow it to buffer
   hard drive sectors?  Those of us with slow A1000 hard disk interfaces
   would like this.  I believe BlitzDisk already does this ...
