Mark, The problem with the software error occurring at the first carriage return was fixed by simply re-copying ProWrite from the distribution disk. I experienced the identical problem and cure with Distant Suns. In each case, I had installed the program after installing Dos 2.0, but probably before putting a new FAAASTROM in my GVP controller, backing up all software, reformatting the hard disk, and restoring. I have no idea what really caused the problem. On the colors, I understand what New Horizons has done, but I'm afraid I've suffered a degradation of ProWrite's usefulness because of it. Although I have the ECS chips now, without a better monitor I must suffer along with a marginally readable screen when running ProWrite. I also am disappointed with ProWrite's support of my HP Deskjet Plus printer. It's true that "High Quality" printing can go a long way toward smoothing up most fonts, and the outline fonts look beautiful, but all this means nothing if it takes five minutes to print one line on the page. Perhaps if I had a PostScript printer I could get something out of ProWrite. I think it's ironic that the shareware PC-Write on my little NEC laptop provides full support of the Times Roman font cartridge in my printer, and high-powered ProWrite does not.
