Well, this is typical.  It seems that Paul Lutus likes "trap doors" in
his software.  He DID put Corvus support in his AppleWriter series.  Of
course, the optimum way of doing this is to buy (or upgrade if you own
the original) the ProDos version (did I really say that!!!!) as it can
easily be moved to a hard disk.  If, however, you are using the original
AW1.1 which saves files as binaries, then , well, it says to hold down
the 'C' key when booting.  It then asks you which slot to boot the
Corvus from (c->corvus).  I don't think you can actually move the
program to the couvus, or if you can if you can run it from the hard
disk without the original, though.  I have AW v1.0 for the //e.  I also
bought Don Lancaster's "Enhancing Your Apple ][ volumn 2" which has that
version completely ripped apart.  Removing the "copy protection" is
trivial as Apple didn't want to protect it, but Lutus did, so he wrote
the protection.  I am now working on getting it to run with Diversi-Dos.
And to allow me to print a graphic in the middle of a document..Ha ha.
I'm having enough fun working on a standalone color printing routine
(Which I will of course post to the net when finished...).

These are not the fastest or best paths, just the easiest to use.
I hope they work. (Most notably the US Snail Service :-)
