I need some help with Transwrite 2.1. It has worked flawlessly for a nearly two years but now keeps blowing me away with certain files. I am trying to import Wordperfect 5.1 files into an empty TW window. The files are quite short and don't have much in the way of formatting. They will load fine into the ProPage article editor, but I need to get them into Transwrite for greater manipulation. Whenever I import one of these WP files, I lose some of the screen border markings within Transwrite and some of the menu pulldowns (or all of them) refuse to work. Closing the program leads to a yellow recoverable alert on Error 0100 000C, and sometimes a system crash. I also get low CHIP memory warnings even though I've plenty of RAM. Other programs running after the disturbed Transwrite also report low CHIP RAM. Several WP 5.1 files seem to load okay. This particularly troublesome file is very similar and loads okay into Wordperfect for MS-DOS. The trouble persists even though I've reinstalled Transwrite to my system and moved the offending WP file to the hard drive (I had been loading it via CrossDOS). I have an A2000HD with 1 meg of chip, 2 megs of 16-bit, plus a Mega Midget Racer and 8.5 megs of 32-bit RAM. No viruses appear to be present. >>>> Ron Legro / Milwaukee via WHAP!
