To New Horizons: I just bought Prowrite 3.2 at World Of Amiga NY from MANTA software and downloaded your convert program. You program will not convert any of my Excellence! version 2.00b files. It starts to read the file and then the machine crashes to guru 5 (divide by zero). I tried this with other Excellence! .doc files and I get the same result. What am I doing wrong? My setup is Amiga 2000 with MegaChip 2000 2 meg chip ram and 4 megs fast ram for a toal of 6 megs. The Excellence! 2.0 files I'm converting are simple small demo files that came on the distribution disk. I have 3 large 500K plus files in Excellence! format that I want to convert to ProWrite format. Also, the New Horizons booth was exhibiting Prowrite version 3.2.3. Are you uploading a patch to make this version or do I have to send the disk. Please answer my Excellence! question. Thankyou.

Patrick, About the convert trouble, that is strange. We have excellence! 2.00a and things seem to be converting fine. What version of Workbench are you using? Maybe you could send us one of those files, or a file that you made yourself so that we can get Convert working as soon as possible. I think we convert fairly well for MSS not wanting to give us their file format. The patch to 3.2.3 is already available. You will first need to know which verison of ProWrite you currently have, though. Look at the title bar of the ProWrite screen to get the version number. Possiblities are 3.2, 3.2.1, or 3.2.2. Remove the decimal point from the version number and download the approprate file from here. Mark Thomas New Horzions Software, Inc.
