Woody,
I would like to also request that SoftWood support HotLinks on the Amiga.
I have got Pagestream V2.2 and have closely followed reviews/articles
regarding HotLinks. I do not as yet have HotLinks but soon intend
purchasing HotLinks Editions 1.1.
Firstly Woody, a user does not need to own Pagestream to reap the benefits
of HotLinks. The way I understand it is that HotLinks is a stand-alone
program which works on the Dynamic Data Exchange principle. I think you
have to own Hotlinks to use HotLinks in other programs. Even so, it is
not expensive and surely you can see that it will be great for users and
the Amiga platform in general. Finally we will have real multitasking
programs all using the same formats for text/graphics e.t.c.
Now one way I could use ProWrite with HotLinks is as follows. Firstly
though, I own a Program called GPFax for my Fax/Modem. What I do is type
up a document in Prowrite and load up GPFax. GPFax has its own printer
driver that redirects output from the printer and prints a fax picture to
disk for later transmission. Currently I have to Write my Fax either in
ProWrite or PageStream if I want good output. The latter is not
preferable because of slow screen updates and general lack of speed on my
computers behalf. (A500) If I had Hotlinks I could have a PageStream
predefined Fax Template.doc that I would use to link to either ProWrite or
the GPFax Fax.document. I could for example write my text in ProWrite
then link it into the Pagestream Template or I could go straight to GPFax
which in version 3.0 form will support HotLinks. If I make ANY changes to
the original text it can be automatically updated in the HOTLINKED files
as well, saving the user heaps of time.
Now, SoftLogik in the U.S. will offer the HotLinks developer pack free to
any developers wishing to implement HotLinks. Call SoftLogik.
Woody, don't get your nose out of joint, think I'm being cheeky or
badmouthing you, but You (SoftWood) really must support this as it is
