Hi, there. I've been using ProWrite for the better part of a year now, and I have a couple of suggestions for the next revision. 1) Quite often, I wish to distribute what I've written on disk or via network, instead of on paper. Version 3.2.2(UK) of ProWrite does not have a 'Print to File' feature, which I found quite useful in the 'other' Word Processor that I used to use. (^_^) Could this be implemented in the next upgrade of ProWrite? 2) With the recent availability of Fax/Modems on the market, the ability to produce an output that is fax-able will be increasingly in demand. The Print-To-File function will help a lot in this, but the resulting output is not yet ready to send via Fax. I understand that Supra bundles with its software a specialized driver that would replace the Preferences Printer driver. In PW's current implementation, you are limited to using the printer driver specified in Prefs. This means that you can *either* send a fax or print to the printer – you cannot do both at once. What I would like to see is the ability for the user to specify which driver he would like to use. I don't know if PW uses the drivers directly or via Preferences; but if the drivers are used directly with PW, it should be able to have the user determine which driver he would like to use (Printer or FAX). If you do make these additions, please be sure to make an upgrade for the UK version of your program, as well as the US version… (It isn't really fair to deny certain users the various product updates. (^_^) BTW. What's the latest version of PW? (I'm still using 3.2.2UK) Is there a patch program that can update my program to the latest one? If so, how do I get my little hands on it?
