Unless you've already bought FCII....
1. Look for the 3.2.3 & 3.2.4 patches for Pro-Write. They are free, speed
up printing quite a bit, reduce the amount of memory needed for printing.

2. Can't remember which way this goes, but turn aspect ratio either on or
off when using HQ on Pro-Write. Print quality is veryood wn ths is
set properly.

Seems like everyone is considering switching to FCII. I'm sticking with
Pro-Write, can't bring myself to use up HD space for even one mor set of
the "bt out-line nts".

Configure one of the buttons with the following function:
  c:join {O} as {aJoin as:join.result}
The program type should be "executable", and choose "CD source" in the options
below.  {O} inserts all of the selected filenames, and {aJoin as:join.result}
brings up a requester with the text "Join as:" and the default answer
"join.result".

INOVAtronics is a small company, so they're not on the Internet.  As far as I
know, they don't even have a UUCP connection.  They do have a product support
BBS, which may be on FidoNet or some other network.

It's commercial. Check your clearance bins... it only had one run a few years
back, after we and Microillusions parted ways (they ended up paying us like
a quarter of the royalties per game they originally claimed, we sent them a
polite letter, they sent us a letter saying (in effect) they'd never made such
a promise, and stopped development on the ports, and hit us for a bill for
back royalties... all of which put us off doing more such stuff).

	Any of the Editors that you've mentioned are very good
	and there are more.

	As for which ones best? Well it depends on exactly what you
	require to complete a project! What is it you need it for?
	Programming? WordProcessing? Both? . . . etc.

	In a nutshell, it's up to you which suits best! For my own
	use I prefer 'QED' for most projects but I also like the 
	Unix editor 'vi'. I couldn't imagine anyone else figuring 
	that out for me!

good luck . . .

How is this done? For example, suppose I wish to write the sum from
1 to infinity of 1/i^3. What precisely do I need to do in Final Copy
to accomplish this as a mathematical equation? Please be specific.

(In ProWrite, one may use the 'insert literal' option to insert math
symbols.)

OK, I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not... so here we go.

I was trying to use the small caps option, and it works.... to some
degree.  The only problem is that if I have uppercase and lowercase
mixed in a line, the resulting text(after highlighting it and choosing
the small caps option), they all turn to SMALL CAPS... the capitalized
letters are in small caps as well... when it should remain capitalized. 
Now, is this a bug?  Or is this just how the program works??  Thanks for
any help.

I use both DME and ANN (Annotote).  DME is very configurable, and you can
build menus and macros by making an .edrc configuration file. Being too
configurable can have its disadvantages sometimes though, but there's a
beta version of the latest dme around, so I'll have to give it a try.

I really like Annotote (it's shareware), except for a couple of things.
But I'm using 1.0, and I've seen a much never version (1.8 I think) that
is supposed to be on one of the latest Fred Fish disks, so it is likely
much better.  If it is, I think I'll register it with the author!

I placed the package on amiga.physik.unizh.ch at 10:40 am local time.
It was uploaded to /amiga/new with the hint that it be put into os20.

From the README:

Here are two little programs that show all 2^24 colors on an
AGA HAM8 screen without ever changing the 64 base color registers.

gtest was the first attempt (people should not run gtest unless they first
study the code to see how to exit :-).  gtest2 is the program that should
interest most users.  Full source code is included with both programs.

There is also an example use of the display database in gtest2.
Hopefully this example will stir commercial developers to support
the display database in their programs.

This code, except the ListRequest () routine, is PD.  Donated to
the public domain by the author, Loren J. Rittle <rittle@comm.mot.com>.
Have fun with it, but please don't claim this work as your own.  As it
is PD, please feel free to take any pieces to your own projects.

ListRequest() originally by Willy Langeveld, October 1991.
Changes for this project by myself.
Willy gave me permission to include this code with another
package.  As it is quite useful, I have included it here in
another form.  Thanks Willy!

Thanks to Chris Green (of Commodore) for:
LoadRGB32 (struct ViewPort *, unsigned long *table);
#pragma libcall GfxBase LoadRGB32 372 9802

Let's hope that more entry points are revealed on UseNet to tide us
over until the real includes are available...
For example, I'd like the pragma info on the system calls that allow
me to do double bufferred animation under the OS... :-)

Well, earlier I posted a 75-line or so message clearing up all the myths/
non-myths about AMOS.  No one has responded to it at all, but I've seen it
so I know it got onto the net...  At any rate, no one has thusly responded
to my question about system-compliant programs.  Term 2.4 is the only one
that I know of that is fully system-compliant.

NAME ME ANY PD OR COMMERCIAL PROGRAMS THAT ARE FULLY SYSTEM-COMPLIANT.

Since no one has done this yet, I can only assume that you know of none that

Hard to believe.  Someone who a) must have just started on this

he/she wanted to know, and c) somehow thinks that the 4000 comes with a
bridgeboard.

It is too bad that newsgroups can't have any more organization.  

If they were organized by topic, you'd have to have a central database or LOTS

  It just lops off the extended file name.  Thus you only see the 
first eight characters.  At least thats what it does for me.

PC- 486 running MS-DOS
SCSI card- Adaptec 1540
CD ROM- Toshiba XM3301B
CD Disk- Hypermedia Concepts Fish Disk
	 Walnut Creek ab20 disk

  Works for me...
