Prowrite import for Word
Message #196001
Is there an import module that will allow Microsoft Word for Windows to read Prowrite files? I need to take some files that were saved in Prowrite format (text only) and convert it for reading in MSWord. Any help would be great! Thanks=== ===Ken Roberts
Wanted:Toaster/TBC/etc
Message #107658
Wanted: Video Toaster Card (prefer v.2) with software; TBC (2); and industrial video camera and U-Matic portable recorder. For non-profit organization. If donated, could qualify for a tax-deductible receipt for yourself or your organization. If you're thinking about upgrading to a Toaster4000, this is one way to get the value…
Wanted: Toaster &tc.
Message #60367
Wanted: Non-profit organization looking for A NewTek Video Toaster v. 1 or 2, including software; TBC (2); and U-Matic video camera and portable U-Matic recorder, in good working condition. If donated, you would receive a tax-deductible receipt. Please reply by E-Mail to 70027-2136. Thank you!
Thanks, Neil. But what would I do if, say, I wanted to look at the field that has multiple entries as a whole? From what you suggested, it seems that each response is treated like a separate field. Can't I look at all the entries and search for one attribute?…
#SuperBase Pro 4 Question
Message #57837
In SuperBase, there is a provision for multiple entries in a given field through a change in the "Responses" function in the field definition. I have used this successfully to enter data. However, I have scoured my manuals to find some way to access/ retrieve/use the multiple response field entries…
ArtExpression
Message #57835
I have ArtExpression v 1.03 and exported some art I created as an Adobe Illustrator EPS file, selected objects only, for importing into Pagemaker for Windows. When I "placed" the file into a document, all I got was a script header saying it was created in ArtExpression, and a page-filling…
Thank you! I'll give it a try. ===Ken Roberts
This is a continuation. I tried to delete the file and could not. I then tried once again to install the program–when I was installing BME (from the ArtExpression installer) and it was installing some IFF file, it GURU'd–the GURU code was 81000005.0026D32C. Have you had any other problems with…
#ArtExpression Install
Message #49691
Hi! I just received a copy of ArtExpressions, and when I tried to install it on my hard drive (actually, when I got to the BME installation on the installation program), my system GURU'd anit caused a lidation problem on my hard drive (Key 48257 Bad Header Type). Thought you'd…
#Hard Drive Help
Message #31337
Help! I have a GVP 2000 HC8+/2 and a 90 MB HD with two 43MB partitions. I was trying to install a new program (ArtExpressions) to one of the partitions when I received a GURU. When I rebotted, I received the formidable message "Drive Not Validated" and "Key 48257 Bad…
Jonathan: Unfortunately, everything is sold. Sorry I couldn't help you. ===Ken
Jonathan: I think I just sold the Minimegs ram, and there's another person who's expressed interest in the Tiny Tiger SCSI controller. (the reason I say "I think I just sold" is the deal hasn't been consummated but the person seems very interested and asked how he can pay for…
ProWrite Questions
Message #37727
Hello! I'm a relatively new owner of ProWrite 3.2.1 and I'm for the most part very happy with the program. I have a few questions, tho. First, I've found that it has a tendency to crash on startup (about once every 5 or 6 times) and I've also had visits…
Pat: I have another upgrade question. I have a VERY old Superbase Personal program and wondered if there are any upgrade paths available to me for Superbase Pro4. Thanks for your help=== ===Ken

#Classifieds
Message #54272
I was wondering what happened to the classified section of the Amiga forums. In the past, I remember seeing Amiga equipment etc. on sale in the library. I have some A1000 peripherals I want to sell, but when I went to find the classified section, it was gone. What's the…
Barry: That's really interesting about Corporate Press–I've been using Corporate Press II for all the PostScript output I've done from the Amiga. Mike Pummill has been really helpful. ===Ken
Barry: Which service bureau do you work at? I live in the DC area and use a few bureaus with PageStream output. ===Ken

Thanks, Pete. I'll try the CBMSERVICE forum (never been on it and I've been on CompuServe for 5 years!). ===Ken

Message #32975
Steve: Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you to answer your reply. I have 1 meg of Chip RAM and 2 megs of Fast RAM on my system. So unless there's a problem somehow with the configuration I've got (and I don't think I do), I may…
Hi, Ben. I found the answer to my problem with CanDo was with my system configuration. I have an A2000 with a new GVP Impact 2000 8/2 hard card. Evidentally version 1.01 of CanDo had some problems that, according to the person at Inovatronics, showed up when used with the…
Thanks, Martin, for all your help. I've put those disks in the mail as you suggested, and sent it to your attention. Hopefully 1.02 will solve the problems. Thanks again=== ===Ken
Thanks for the reply, Lou. Perhaps I'll give the ToolChest a try. ===Ken
Thanks, David. I wasn't running anything in the background when the demo crashed. What happened was I clicked on one of the buttons (a text button I believe) it was showing as part of the demo, but instead of doing what the button said, the button became a text editor,…
As I mentioned to Steve, I have version 1.01. That may be the difference… I don't know. I tried the demo again(I think it's a deck called What CanDo Can Do) and this time it didn't crash like last time, but I couldn't get out of it-on Browse or SuperBrowse,…
Thomas: Thanks. I'll keep my eye out there. ===Ken
Superbase Upgrades
Message #15924
Can you tell me if you are still offering upgrades for Superbase Pro? I have the original Superbase Personal and didn't have any money available when you advertised/mailed out info on an upgrade deal, and it had a time limitation on it. When I saw an ad for your products…
Thanks, Steve. I'll give them a try and see what they say. By the way, I really appreciate the support on CompuServe. I've been on some of the other ones and I haven't felt at home like I do here. Thanks for your efforts to make CompuServe, and the Amiga…
Steve: One other thing: when I went back and tried (the third time) to use the CanDo Installer to put it on my hard drive, it managed to copy the icons, but not the program. Is this supposed to be the way it works? When you try to run it…
Steve: Thanks for the reply. Everything I've heard has been glowing about CanDo. I just bought it last week at AmiExpo (Creative Computers) and I've been nothing but frustrated with it. The install utility crashed (GURU'd) twice. I can't seem to get the tutorials to work correctly, and even the…
Lou: On another subject… I haven't yet subscribed to the Amiga World Tool Chest. With some of the other magazines offering little on their disks, I've been hesitant to subscribe to something that may not be worth it. Can you fill me in about why I should subscribe? Thanks=== ===Ken…
CanDo
Message #31088
I just purchased CanDo and have found it should be named Can'tDo. It can't seem to be put on my hard drive like the manual says, even after following the errata instructions that came in the box. Every time I create a program using it, it doesn't do what it…
Don: I've been watching the PS comments from Jack Durre' for some time now–before I bought the program, and after. As to your comments about his attitude: 1. I believe his job is not permanently at Soft-Logik. From what I've gathered, he has been helping them with support for a…
Precision Software
Message #8753
Welcome to CompuServe! I too have SuperBase Personal, and am interested in someday upgrading. I've really enjoyed using your program and learning more applications for its use and for Superplan. One comment: I received your recent upgrade offer letter. I wish I could have gotten SuperPlan and upgrade to SBProfessional.…
#arc
Message #50341
Betty: I have another problem with ARC. I have ARC.022 (renamed ARC) in my c directory. I have in the past been able to unarc files that I've downloaded. Today, tho, I have the until-now untried opportunity to ARC two files into one file for uploading. Every time I have…
Lance: The difference between the P2200 and the P6/P7 is considerable. They all should take the same printer driver (the one by Juergen in the data library is the only one I'm aware of right now). The P6/P7 are sister printers, the basic difference being the width of the platen.…
Kurt: Please see my reply on this subject to Steve. I meant to send it to you (sorry). ===Ken Roberts 70027,2136
Kurt: I have both an Epson FX-80 and an NEC P2200, so I hope I can answer some of your questions. I really like the NEC. The fonts are sharp, you have a good variety of them (I particularly like the ITC Souvenir), and the choice of paper feed systems…
PageSetter
Message #105550
I have a problem that I could use some guidance on. I have an early version of PageSetter by Gold Disk. When I go to print, I get irregularly-sspaced white lines going across the page. These are NOT the normal white lines that break up the letters normally, but rather…
My FX-80 doesn't have a tractor–at least when I bought it, it was an option. That was many moons ago. I've been using the regular Epson printer driver until very recently, when I downloaded the enhanced driver on DL 11. I haven't tried the JX-80 driver –maybe I'll give that…
No, I'm not a HAM, but my brother has been in ham radio for some time-his call is W3MR. ===Ken
Thanks for the comment, Bill. It's been a bit confusing looking at printers, because one store will tell you one thing and another something different. One location of the same retail company, the staff told me the P2200 NEC was the "newer edition" of the P6 at a lower price…
Thanks, Art. When I talked with the salesman at the printer store, he said the P2200 wouldn't stand up to what I want to do (I have a WP letter run with a mail merge for 300 letters for my local community association–a (hopefully!) one-time affair). He claimed it would…

#NEC Printers
Message #104387
Thanks for the suggestion, Don. A couple of questions: 1. What is "Dot Perfect"? 2. I was told by a printer specialist that the tractor feed option for the FX-80 was no longer available. One of the bigest problems I have with the FX-80 (aside from not having near letter…
John: Chromakey is a process used in television where an object (person, thing, etc.) is "video-ed" in front of a special colored screen (usually blue or black) and that image is electronically merged into another video image. For instance, you could tape a scene on a London street, tape yourself…
#Publisher 1000
Message #59812
Has anyone heard anything about Publisher 1000, the desktop publishing software advertised in the last edition of AmigaWorld by Brown-Wagh Publishing? Is it going to come out? Has anyone seen it (in a production or a prototype version)? If so, how does it compare with PageSetter? Has anyone heard about…
Thanks, Larry. It sounds pretty good! Have you been satisfied with the program? Does it do what you need it for? What are your applications? ===Ken
Thanks so much, Larry. Yes, I'm looking for another dealer. I was over there just yesterday, and I was asking some rather simple questions about some Amiga software–Instant Music, Organize!, and Superbase DB. It was like I was talking a foreign language. He had a new high-res video character generation…
#Scribble!
Message #51724
Hello! I have a suggestion that you probably already have heard, but I thought I would make it anyway. On a future upgrade of Scribble!, I'd like to see some way to stop the Print function. I have used the mail merge with Scribble! 2.0, and find that if there…
