#Looking for InnoVision
Message #14416
Does anyone have a new phone number for InnoVision Technology, the makers of Broadcast Titler? I'm looking to upgrade and seem to have misplaced their most recent number (the one in my 1.0 manual is rather old). J.R.
Software Blowout! Buy!

FOR SALE: AMIGA SOFTWARE DeluxePaint III – $20 Non-upgradeable…but it's like-new with disk, manual and the original box! Still the greatest paint program!

"Maximum Impact" is a Bronson-esque revenge flick; "Chickboxer" is a fluffy drippy sappy teenage goofball comedy (note: I'm producing, that's all!). Be out in February. No plans for a Commodore horror film anytime soon; but if you want good CBM horror stories, just look around CIS…I'm sure there are plenty…
Even though I have already sold my XT Bridgeboard, I'd still like to take tthe journey out of sheer curiousity and doubt that the Bridgeboard can be sped up THAT much (I love to be proven wrong). Next week is lousy; we're right in the middle of shooting two movies,…
Darlene, Thanks and same to you! J.R.
Roy, Sounds like your setup is identical to my old one. I now have five partitions on my 105 meg drive…10 mb for WB, 25 for DTP, 15 for Video and the rest sits for using SunRize's new digital sampler which I just got to do sound for some films…
Roy, Don't do it! You need the latest and greatest, 4.03. I too went through this when I recently upgraded to 2.04 and got a 105 meg HD to replace my 40 meg one. I caught it in time, fortunately… J.R.
OK…the buttons are cool. No, I didn't get any reply as to my FAX… should I have? J.R.
AdPro 2 Text Bug?
Message #31983
PK, Seem to have a bug with AdPro 2's Text_Visual operator. Most of my fonts are stored in a second fonts directory assigned as VideoFonts:. When I try to load fonts from this directory, and that goes for ANY font, I get the message "Error loading font". If I move…
Moved the lost file as you stated, and the new palette editor works now. Didn't have time to mess with it much yet, but seems to work VERY nice. By the way, how come you guys moved around the "Execute (oops) "Execute" and "Reset" buttons? I keep hitting "Reset", having…
By "partition to partition transfer" do they mean from an Amiga partition to a Mac partition? At long last? Say it ain't so! The System 7.0 compatibility will also be welcome. Now we'll just have to wait for COLOR!! J.R.
The Epson ES-300c can be had via Computer Shopper for only $999. Add $125 or so for ASDG's software via mail order. For the relatively LOW cost margin, it's by far the scanner of choice. J.R.
Glad to hear that. I'll remember that for future reference. J.R.
I would tend to agree with your assessment that ProWrite's non-Postscript printing can be better. Heck, even their Postscript printing can be improved by allowing the use of Adobe Type 1's like the ones (ideally the ones) that PageStream uses. WOW, what awesome documents we could create then! Kudos to…
Jonathan, Although I am 99.9% a Postscript user, when I got ProWrite 3.2.1 I did try to print to my LaserJet IIP via the HP mode. It was okay, but that's all. At least it was better than before. As I understand it, the Compugraphic fonts in the Amiga's 2.04…

I too had this problem, and called New Horizons about it. They suggested removing many of the specialized fonts from my FONTS: directory (over two-thirds of my fonts were for VIDEO use anyway). That worked. I had quite a few, but now it (oops) it's just the necessary system fonts…
Thought something seemed odd there. I AM running 2.0 and DID use Expert Mode. Tried using the new palette and it just brought up a black screen and hung there. Thanks. The scrolling lists are a great addition! The WYSIWYG displays are the hippes(oops) hippest! One suggestion: would the addition…
Darlene, I'd like to get a copy of ProDraw 2.01 as well. Tried getting through yesterd but the lines were busy as always. I am registered under J.R. Bookwalter; my old address may still be listed, but my new one is: 3360 Mogadore Rd. #3, Mogadore, OH. 44260. Thanks, J.R.
I second that…now that I've had to mess with it for a few hours! J.R.
Mark, Did I miss something? I can't seem to find the new patch anywhere! J.R
John, I believe that all of Adobe's AFM files are up on CIS in the DTPForum. JR
Speaking of loaders…any word on a IMG loader? I know you said a few months back that one was "lying around" unfinished. Also, have you considered the potential of AdPro importing structured graphics such as those from ProDraw? The ability to easily convert these clips to IFF's and the like…
PK, Which version of Photoshop on the Mac supports JPEG? Apparently mine is old, 'cause it doesn't show JPEG as a supported format. Serves me right for not upgrading…. J.R.
MacView is only good to view pictures created in Mac PAINT, not Mac Draw. Paint files are binary, similar to Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. Mac Draw files are Encapsulated Postscript, which the Amiga is sorely lacking in good support. ProDraw, ProPage, PageStream and the like will load and print…
I believe that MacDraw and MacPaint files are different. As far as I know, MacDraw files are EPS. Try the Postscript setting. J.R.

Michel, Dunno if the problem's in your Supra setup…I'm using version 1.10c of the Wordsync software with 2.04 on an A2000 with no problems. What other things do you have in your system? And why don't you autoboot from your Supra? J.R.

A-Max w/Avery LabelPro?
Message #42576
Is any other poor soul out there using Avery's LabelPro software with A-Max II? I recently got the software package after attempting to sell my Bridgeboard (still haven't) and thus my Avery Laser LabelPro software for the PC. The software works great, but a "Save" or "Save As" command causes…

ProWrite load bug?
Message #31213
Here's an odd ProWrite bug for ya: When I boot up my A2000 under AmigaDOS 2.04, then load ProWrite almost immediately upon the Workbench's appearance, ProWrite begins to load then brings up an error #80000003 and asks "Wait for disk activity to finish" offering either Suspend or Reboot as normal.…
Mike, Sounds like a deal. The two we are currently engulfed in are "Chickboxer" and "Maximum Impact". Your credit will appear in the end titles of these, OK? When you send the upgrade, also enclose how you'd like your name to appear and your preference for credit. My address: J.R.…

I'll make a recommendation: the Epson ES-300C with ASDG's driver software for AdPro (it also includes a stand-alone version). 24 bit color, 8 bit gray scale, 8.5 x 11 flatbed scanner, it's AWESOME! Only $999 in USAFlex's latest ad in PC Sources. ASDG's software retails for $200; most dealers sell…
The first film was "Ghoul School", shot in 16mm and transferred straight to 1" video. It was cut off-line on VHS, then the EDL was assembled in EDLP and the finished log was transferred from a 3.5" MS-DOS to an 8" CMX disk. Worked like a charm and easily saved…
Sounds good. Look forward to getting the update info! J.R.
Hmmm…something definately got munged, then. I can't seem to get the macro to do anything other than what my original one did. How about LZHing it and sending it up to me via e-mail? That way we'll make sure it won't get lost. Thanks, J.R.
Mr. Berro, Please do forward me a file listing the EDLP changes. Am I to take it that Microillusions is no longer handling the software? Thanks, J.R.

No, the CG fonts with DOS 2.04 are unfortunately incompatible with ProPage AND PageStream, something that I hope BOTH companies plan on fixing soon. Gold Disk can be reached on-line…the rep's name is Darlene, but I don't have her CIS number. JR.
Mr. Berro, Since you mentioned the EDLP program, I thought I'd interject by thanking you for bringing such software to the Amiga. I used EDLP on several feature films that I produced, and several months ago lucked into finding someone selling their Microillusions TCRG brand-new in shrink wrap for only…

Script macro
Message #30962
Art, Tried the new macro, but can't seem to get it to number the CONTINUEDs. Did I miss something somewhere? Also, I'm assuming the need to format the first lead line in the script the way I want it to appear throughout (only two tabs & properly indented)? J.R.
Art, Didn't get to read most of your message as it flew by, but I've captured it and will log back on after I try the new script out. Thanks! J.R.
PC Hard Drive Sale!
Message #41868
FOR IMMEDIATE SALE: Western Digital 40 meg hardcard great for Bridgeboard use…the hard drive is mounted on the card in optimal position, leaving all other PC slots available! Asking $250, or make me an offer I can't refuse (and USPS shipping is included). Leave e-mail or call 216-628-9638!
OOPS! That macro got munged. Here it is again: Options results RequestText 'Number to start with?' /* Request shot number to start with */ If rc ~= -0 Then Exit number = result + 1 Do Forever /* Repeat forever */ Find "*" /* Search for lead line marker */…
Art: I sat down Sunday with ProWrite 3.2.1 and the book "Using Arexx on the Amiga" and came up with a fairly workable Arexx script that formats by looking for the "*" character. Everywhere it finds one it un-indents, types a sequential number, tabs in one stop, moves the cursor…
