don't know if that's what I mean, betty, but it looks like it would be and someone else gave me another formula that works. I've used it, and I'm happy as a clam to know the hundreds of files I have at a glance. Thanks. donna
Thanks, Vic. Donna
Thanks, Steve. Donna
#PrintoutLists & MessyDOS
Message #29886
Do you know of any program or way (not too complicated, please) to printout a list of file names from any given data disk? What and where can I get it, if it takes a program. How do I do it if I can do from the Cli or whatever?…
Thanks Paul, you've been, as usual extremely helpful.
Paul, thanks for the quick reply. I mean DOS (that's all the info' says – I assume it's MSDOS since it's IBM compat.). What is Cross Dos or MessyDos? I assume you mean with them I could import the text formatted? Am I right? Donna
Well, Wayne, why don't YOU do it? donna
I understand that "Commodore did not 'show' a laptop." I was speaking generally, Steve. donna
"Maybe…" (continued). Maybe if Commodore ever decided to market _consistently and wholeheartedly what it "shows," you wouldn't have to ask me that question…WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THEM?!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Betty. But sad news. I REALLY want a laptop and don't want to have to get another format, new programs, etc. Wonder what the holdup is. There must be enuff of us Amigaites about to justify a laptop on at least a small scale of production. Donna
#Amiga Laptop?
Message #26802
Anyone out there know anything about whether the Amiga Laptop which I heard rumored was being developed in Germany is truly being developed? If so, any rumors about when it might be out? If not, is anybody developing one? I WANT AN AMIGA LAPTOP! Donna Bickley
Slide labels??
Message #9487
All- Does anyone here know of a commercial or shareware program for making labels, that is either specifically designed for 35mm slides, or is flexibile enough to be adapted to making slide labels? Thanks. -jb
Betty, thanks. I'll check for labels. Another ? – Is there still a classified section on this forum? The flowers are sleeping for the winter. Donna
#Amiga Programs Available
Message #7036
Betty: Are there Amiga programs for the following: 1. Making labels for photographic slides (on laser printer)? 2. Making address labels? Do you or anyone else have more feedback on the comparison of PageStream Forms and UltraForms for PageStream (Ultra costs twice as much the former)? Thanks. Donna Bickley.
Thanks, Ben. Ultraforms is listed by Go Amigo! at $56 bucks, which is why I'm wanting to know more before I put out. I'll keep checkin'. Donna Bickley
Thanks for the response, Ben. Do you know how UltrForms compares with PgS's Forms program. Could you tell me how many forms are on UltraForms? And what they are? So I can compare with the PgS lit. Or do you have lit. on Ultra? If so, would you send me…
PgS Form Programs
Message #5626
All: Is anyone here familiar with the PageStream Forms program or Ultraforms for PageStream? The SoftLogik people claim not to have heard of Ultraforms for PageStream. The GoAmiga folks list it in latest AmigaWorld. If you know about the two forms programs, how do they compare? Are they any good?…

#Uploading from Whap!
Message #322
I want to upload something to the Classified section here. But I don't know how to do it. I can get U on Whap! but how do I create the file to U? Do I do it on Whap! in some way? Or do I do it on my word…
#Hard-drive upgrade
Message #118304
Betty- 'Nother thought. I've currently got a ToolBox type unit with 2 megs stuck into the left side of my A500. If I add a hard-drive, should it go into the expansion slot on the box, or can I plug it into the A500 and then plug in the box?…
#Modem upgrade
Message #118303
Betty- When I switch from my current 1200 baud modem to a 2400 unit, & change the Whap parameters accordingly, is there anything else I'll need to do? Thanks, -jb signature
I'm really Donna, not John, B. You're welcome. Glad you got my msg. I got the 1.8.5 drivers installed. They sent them to me within 4 days (SoftLogik) as the ones on their bulletin board would not work for me (Got me as to why). So, Mark, there, agreed to…
As I noted to Lloyd, forgot to sign my name – I'm Donna of the Bickley's, not John. What a nasty message . I REFUSE to look at any lino output, at least not for awhile. I think the lino-type printing is coming (cheaper and more available). This field is…
Gee, it's nice to be agreed with 100%! BTW, I forgot that this is dual membership here and I didn't sign myname – I'm Donna, not John.
For Jack's benefit. You can get PageStream for $130. from the mailorder sources. I'm not getting how it's "high end". It may be too much program for Jack's purposes, but the money is right…And most of us expand our expectations when we get into something…PageStream is "a pain in the…
Jack, take it from someone who wanted to get "professional output" without a PostScript laser printer. You won't . You'll get the closest by using PageStream with PixelScript, but if you compare it with laser or if you intend to reproduce the results, you will be disappointed (and I'm NOT…
Wayne, FWIW, I'm having the same problem with the italics staying in the text when using my PgS Updated with my new PostScript printer. I just called SoftLogik this a.m. and they tellme I must have the 1.8.5 Printerdrivers (they are NOT the ones that come with theupdate) to solve…
Thanks for all your msgs, Wayne. It's not too late in the sense that I've not made a final committment, yet, so I'll digest your msgs. at my leisure. I have sort of "fallen in love" with the Nec SilentWriter which is an L.E.D. PS printer, as I understand it,…
Joel, thanks for the reply on line/char spacing in PgS. I don't know where my head was that day. But I did find it (actually, rediscover it) and it's easy as pie. Thanks again. * db *
Thanks, Betty. By the time you get this thank you, p'haps you'll have found the program. Appreciate your efforts. * db * New question: I DL'd the PgS Font file, OldEng.arc. I tried to unarc it with Archa and I get "file cannot be opened" and "Ram: soulii". What do…
PopupMenu File
Message #30900
Betty: I tried searching lib.10, 13, 14, and maybe 9. Can't find PopupMenu file. Did you find it? Does anybody know what it's called exactly and where it's located? Please let me know if you do. Thanks. Donna
O.K., Paul, guess I'll have to check out what's going on about my margins! BTW, I did it. I tried what you suggested and imported one of my bad Excellence! files into PgS. Printed it and voila!, it was o.k. Thanks a bunch for that one. Saved me hours of…
PauL: That was a helpful explanation of the dot matrix, DJ+ and the laser printer. I'm going to investigate that and the HPIIP and compare output. * db *
Thanks, Bill. I'm leaning towards the HPIIP. * Donna *
OfCourseIt'sThere
Message #30614
Paul: Can't believe I confused myself so much re: the line spacing. Of Course the line/char spacing gadget is right on the Format Menu, where it belongs! I know I used it in the past. Just suddenly didn't "compute" (no pun intended!) Couldn't be an easier task to do. Thanks…
Jim: Thanks again. Will let you know if popup isn't uptodate. * donna *
Thought so, Bill. About where the mem. has to be added. Thanks for giving me the right question to ask re: scanners. * Donna *
Thanks, Betty. I'll probly try to find it on Fri. * Donna *
Thanks for the tip, Ron. If I go that way, I'll buzz you here for the address. * Donna *
Paul: Thanks. 1. I'll try to figure out how to do the line/char spacing. 2. Do you think it's worth it to send for the manual update? 3. What's the diff. between digiview (what is it?) and a scanner? 4. Good. You cleared up a major ? I had re:…
Bill: Thanks for the reply. Further questions: 1. When you say I'll need add. memory for the HPIIP, do you mean in the Amiga 500 or the HPIIP? I have 3 megs total in the Amiga. 2. Will all scanners (flat bed esp.) work with the Amiga, or am I…
Jim: What Lib. is Popuomenu? Is that how it's named. Betty, feel free to get in here, if you know. Thanks, again, Jim. Based on my satisfaction with your last suggestion, I'll try this one, too. * Donna*
LaserPrinters,Scanners
Message #30474
Paul et.al.: Do you have a scanner? What kind? Do you like it? What is a "flatbed" scanner? Vs. what? Do you know the Migraph scanner? And whatever other info' you-all can offer re: scanners to use with PgS. I'm also considering a laser printer. Do you recommend the HPIIP?…
LZH,VSCREEN Thanks
Message #30471
Betty: Thanks for the LZH location. Actually we already had it, but had never used it and forgot what Lharc was for. Also thanks for finding the VSCREEN. It's great. I'm glad I'm advanced enuff to appreciate such helpful assists. Look forward to hearing from you on GE, or here…
#VSCREEN Thanks
Message #30470
Jim: Thanks for your tip, a couple weeks ago, on VSCREEN. I DL'd it, un-LZHed it, and find it extremely helpful with PgS. I too was finding the "refresh" driving me buggy. VSCREEN will save me a lot of time and frustration. * Donna *
#Misplaced thanks

#Un – LZH File?
Message #93645
Betty: What is the name of the LZH file that will un-LZH, and what Lib is it in? Donna
LineSpace in PgS – Help
Message #30435
Paul: Do you know how to increase the distance between the lines in PgS text? Apparently "kerning" does not cover line space distance. I don't want to doublespace, but do need more space sometimes. Will you tell me how? * db * P.S. Going to DL VScreen tonight. That sounds…
Relief. Good. Like I said, I think I panicked while trying to figure out what my problems were. Seems pretty calm right now. Though my PgS font disk brought up the "Read/Write error" tonight – 4 retrys and it worked fine. Weird. Thought I might have a virus the other…
Good. Didn't think that should hurt anything, but it did crash the machine at the time. So I wouldn't say it doesn't cause _any_ problems – but hopefully no _permanent_ ones! Didn't try it again. * db *
