NOTE: THIS NOTICE IS IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!
Congratulations on your purchase of a Freedom 100 terminal system.
We at Ultrascience know that you are anxious to install it and to
take advantage of the features of the Freedom terminal and
Ultrascience FRE100 software. However, your success and our
reputation are riding on the few minutes that it will take to read
the FREEDOM 100 SYSTEM USER'S MANUAL from Ultrascience.
Ultrascience has a fine reputation for providing user friendly, well
engineered, reliable, inter-system compatible computer products at
very competitive prices. However, no matter how excellent our
products, they will not perform to specifications unless they are
properly operated and applied. The few minutes taken to understand
your Freedom 100 terminal system will be well spent; no service
contract or support can replace the advantage of a knowlegeable
user. The authors of the USER'S MANUAL have worked hard to provide
a practical, helpful document which, when used in conjunction with
the manuals provided by Liberty, will make the Freedom 100 terminal
system much more useful and cost-effective.
NOTE: Copies of the FREEDOM 100 SYSTEM USER'S MANUAL are available
from Ultrascience, 1824 Wilmette Ave, Wilmette, IL 60091
(312/256-0080), on microfiche for a small handling charge and in
paper form on special request.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The exciting Freedom 100 is exceptionally attractive and well
built, but it costs far less than terminals with less to offer. The
Freedom 100 will emulate the most popular types of terminals, but
when used as a "FREEDOM" it offers powerful text editing function
keys that have not been available to Alpha Micro users in the past.
Ten function keys (20 with shift), 5 cursor control keys, and 3 edit
keys (6 with shift) permit the Alpha Micro user to operate text
editors with such ease that bothersome menus and crib sheets will
become unpleasant history. Overlay key labels make it easy for even
a beginner to master the text editors in minutes. The Ultrascience
Freedom 100 driver currently supports the following programs:
1. AlphaVUE (Alpha Micro Systems, Irvine, CA)
2. SuperVUE (Micro Concepts, Huntington Beach, CA)
3. AlphaWRITE (Alpha Micro Systems, Irvine, CA)
4. AlphaCALC (Alpha Micro System, Irvine, CA)
5. DataVUE (MIcro Concepts, Huntington Beach, CA)
6. Alpha Base (B.S.W. Systems, Los Angeles, CA)
7. C Servant (CShare, Brawley, CA)

2.0 TERMINAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS

2. Ultrascience Freedom 100 drivers and manual.
The drivers or any part of the drivers may not be copied for
profit by anyone other than Ultrascience. Anyone wishing to use the
programs may do so at no charge, provided they notify Ultrascience
that they are using the programs and agree to send information about
bugs or improvements to Ultrascience. This bug and improvement
information will be available to all users of the drivers.
3.0 RELEASE NOTE FOR REVISION 5.1
Alpha Micro recently added a considerable number of new TCRT's
to their list, which is growing in a somewhat haphazard fashion as
new terminal attributes become available on newer terminals. In the
opinion of Ultrascience, Alpha Micro has not planned adequately for
future improvements in terminals and has ignored the features of
many of the most powerful terminals. In any case, Alpha Micro's
changes have forced everyone else to revise their terminal drivers.
The 4.11 version of the FRE100 driver has changes in the TCRT's and
it may be necessary to alter some programs slightly in order to have
display enhancements work properly.
