Hi Pekka! Why don't you call me. I've been beta-testing for two years now.
If the installation is at DatorMag's new offices I could even come up and
help you, since I live just across the street at Industrigatan.

Otherwise the setup (from what I've heard of Peter K.) seems to be similiar
from ours, and it works great.

ProWrite 3.2.3 is finished and I have created three patch archives for
updating to this new version.  They can be found on ab20 in /incoming/amiga
but you better get them quick unless someone comes up with a mirror
location.

If you have ProWrite 3.2 (sometimes referred to as 3.2.0, but just says
3.2 on the title bar of the ProWrite screen) then you will want to get the
file: ProWrite32-323patch.lzh

If you have ProWrite 3.2.1 (which appears on the screen's title bar), then
you will want to get the file: ProWrite321-323patch.lzh

If you have ProWRite 3.2.2 (which appears on the screen's title bar), then
you will want to get the file: ProWrite322-323patch.lzh

In all of these cases, you simply need to unarchive the archive into the
same directory as where your ProWrite is located, or alternately, unarchive
the file somewhere else, like RAM:, and move the files into the same drawer
as where your ProWrite is located.  All files in the archive have icons,
so once you've unarchived the archive, you can use the Workbench if this
is easier for you.  Then, simply double-click on the icon that says
"EXECUTE TO PATCH".  This script will make sure you have the correct version
of ProWrite for the patch that you are using and apply the patch if it is
the correct version.  Once the script's windows have closed, you can delete
all the files associated with the patch.

If you have any questions, e-mail me or call New Horizons.

This patch fixes a few bugs: Workbench 1.3 and screen color changes, >500
fonts bug, Run ProWrite-Run DPaint-Quit ProWrite bug, ProWrite -wb from
shell crash when run from Workbench 1.3, space space cursor-left
alt-backspace crash, side-by-side column disapearing text screen update
anomaly, auto-save popping wrong window to front bug, better color selection
for gadgetry on 4 color screens created by PW, missing underlined tabs and
underlined hard spaces in Postcript fixed, and printing scaling problem
in high quality mode that caused slow printing (full page of text on
DeskJet at 300 x 300 dpi took 46 minutes, now only takes 9 minutes, oops).

This patch adds a minor feature: Printing speed was increased
during vertical blank spaces by simply outputting CR's instead of sending
all that dead white space's data.

Thanks,
Mark Thomas

Article-I.D.: amisys.mkoch.0147
Organization: AMiSYS Consulting


A number of people have noted the little buglet in both of the barchart
function genies that came with PPage 3.0.  Of course, the easy fix is to
remove the extra "CG" in the call to SetFont(), so that the resulting line
looks like this:

call ppm_SetFont('(CG)Times')

This works just fine, but what if you want to use a different typeface for
your barcharts?  Of course, you could just edit the function call and specify
a different one, but you'd have to do that every time you wanted to use a
different typeface.  For a bit more flexibility, I've come up with the
following routine.  REPLACE the above function call (it's located right around
line 100 in BOTH barchart scripts) with the following lines:


msg = 'Default typeface is "Times".'||cr||'Would you like to change it?'
choice = ppm_Inform(2, msg, "NO!", "YES")
if choice = 1 then do
   fontlist = ppm_GetTypeFaceList()
   fontlist = substr(fontlist, pos('0a'x, fontlist) + 1)
   font = ppm_SelectFromList("Select typeface", 32, 8, 0, fontlist)
   if font = '' then call ppm_SetFont('(CG)Times')
   else call ppm_SetFont(font)
   end
else do
   call ppm_SetFont('(CG)Times')
   end


Now, instead of being locked into one particular typeface, you'll first be
informed of the default font (in this case, Times), and asked if you'd like to
change it.  If you select "YES", you'll be presented with a requester listing
all the available typefaces.  Select the one you want, or "Cancel" to revert
back to the Times font.

Enjoy!

   ...Mike

Shouldn't you try E,8,1? 

(lots of stuff deleted)

E,7,1 means even parity, 7 data bits and 1 stop bit. If I'm not wrong, this means that your 8 bit Word
Perfect file loses all the 8 bit WP-codes.

Hope this helps you!

I'm pretty sure DNet needs an 1.3 newcli in C: . Back in the old days

I need to know if there is an utility for managing files and disks?  I
only know of DirMaster which keeps track of directory of all your floppy,
but it is too limited and too slow.  I have about 600 disks full of GIF,
IFF, MODs , Animations, digitized samples, euro-demos, texts, archive
files, backups, etc.  that needs to be organized in some way.  If no one
knows of such program, and with enough encouragement and help, I will
write one soon.  I can't stand searching through piles of disks and then
searching again through directories looking for a file.  If you have any
inputs or suggestions, please let me know.

Here are the features I want (and may not be possible in Amiga OS):
-virtual disk (VAD:) which acts as 1 big harddrive composed of floppy
	disks.  (about 500 DSDD disk equals 500 meg )
-automatic compression/decompression (68020/881 and above) to double
	DSDD capacity to 2 meg.R~?
-HighDensity drive, other non-HardDrive scsi storage devices support
-directories are stored in Hard Drive for speed and efficiency (simply
	they would be link to the physical files in the disks.)
-VAD: should be completely transparent to CLI, WB, Applications...
	and completely compatible.
-Allow a file to be bigger than 880k (split into many disks) and be
	completely transparent.
-Automate everything.  It'll ask the user to enter a blank unformatted disk
	if more size is needed by VAD:.  User only needs to write the disk number
	on the disk.
-minimize disk access.  Since directory is located in Hard Drive or Ram,
	browsing through directories will not access floppy.  Only when the
	actual file is needed would the request for disk #x appear.

I am a novice when it comes to disk devices.  So if you think it can be done
by implementing a handler (L:VAD-handler) and mounting it, then let me know.

Well, PasTeX comes on 5 floppies; in addition there are a bunch of
font disks.  However, if you rearrange the files, you could probably
run it off two or three disks most of the time.  And it's plenty fast
on a 68000, fortunately!

 Could this be the infamous "GDOS" problem? (recap: memory location 0
containing the string "GDOS" instead of a simple "0")

 Have you got "590Fix"? This writes a "0" to that memory location and fixes

Does anyone know of an editor for the Amiga that has all (or most) of
the following:

- opens a custom screen
- opens a window for each document
- has scroll bars in each window (preferably both horiz. and vert.,
  but horiz. is not necessary)
- supports mouse selection, i.e., dragging the mouse over a piece of
  text highlights it (after which, it can be copied/cut/etc.)*
- allows arbitrary key bindings (i.e., I can set up my gnu-emacs key
  bindings)
- an AREXX port

*About the mouse-dragging: I've seen at least a couple of editors in
which you have to alt-click (or whatever) to set the "mark", and then
click to move the cursor.  I use gnu-emacs on UNIX machines, so I'm
used to this, however I happen to think that dragging is more
intuitive.  Are there *any* Amiga editors that support this?

If anyone knows of an editor that satisfies all/most of these
criteria, please let me know.  Also, let me know if there's a demo
