Floppy Emu, LisaCompose?
LisaGuide:
Thank you for posting this manual. I am the one who has uploaded this software online and I too was unable to find out anything about it. When I had received the VintageMicros software archive I was very excited to have a new application to use on LOS. To this day I have never been able to get it to work. I have attempted to repair the disk image however I fear that it is beyond repair. Has anyone been able to get this working?
I will amend my post on the various software archive websites with this manual. Is there any other known information on Compose?

So I couldn't get it to install at all on LisaEm; it just kept corrupting my virtual Profile disk. On a real Lisa though - I copied the files from the Tool diskette to the Office System, then booted the other three install disks and now I have LisaCompose on my 2/5! I guess Lisa development must have really been difficult if the manual flat-out says "When prompted for Disk 4, click cancel because there is no Disk 4." It works though.

Oh wow, thanks for finding this, I'll try to debug this.

Unrelated to LisaCompose (more accurately, CG Compose), the Floppy Emu Model C now supports 2/5s! I poked Steve about it a while ago and he sent me over some firmwares to try and I found one that worked on both my 2/5 and Macs. If anyone's got a 2/5 and a Model C, it's now all officially released over at: https://www.bigmessowires.com/2020/05/27/floppy-emu-update-favorites-lisa-fixes-and-more

I recently (last two weeks) picked up a model C for use on a Mac SE, so that's goods news.
Thanks.
