Well, I didn't need integer version of Amagine3.0 so I installed FP ver. I think you should check the disks you're sending out. I *think* I have everything installed correctly, but who knows? The Log file is incomplete, there is no Imagine3 .info file. Not to worry, I made a really ugly icon with script for it, but what about a computer innocent? Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC

Gracia., We use an automated disk duplicator, and we duplicate over 30K disks at a time, the duplicator seems to capture most problems, unfortunately no machine is perfect, so send back your disk and we will gladly replace it. However it seems that you do not need it anyway, so why bother, save the postage. Mike

Mike, I think everything is there and in the right place, but if I do have a problem I'll sure let you know. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC

Mike, here are two suggestions for the next version of Imagine; I know, timing is strange since you just came out with a major upgrade, but sometimes an idea stays in the back of your mind and pops up when you start comparing the current and new Imagines, and discover your pet peeve hasn't been fixed. In the Stage editor's Play wireframe anim requester, the speed slider is not labelled. It would be great to have a text field showing how many frames/second you're displaying. And please make the text update while I'm dragging the slider, not just when I release it. Seems like your PostScript font support needs some upgrading. I have a couple dozen expensive, commercial, Bitstream PS fonts which Imagine doesn't recognize. (Post, that PD ditty, reads them just fine, by the way) Of the 10 currently found in my psfonts: directory, only 4 appear on Imagine's font requester. Pretty half-baked, especially considering that a PD program will read all 10. Blaq!

Blaq I doubt they are half baked, but we are working on Imagine every day, your suggestions are taken and we will do our best Mike

hi Mike, i seem to be having a problem with some old projects created under 2.0 that will not let me use the stage editor, i get a task held thingie w/ the reboot/suspend buttons, everytime i try to go into the stage. is this a know problem? or did i miss something Matt Straney in Grand Ledge.

Mike, would it help if I sent you one or two fonts which don't work in Imagine? It may help you strengthen up your Postscript support. Of course, due to licensing agreements, you'd have to delete them from your system once testing is complete, but I can certainly trust you to do this. Blaq!

Blaq Sure send them, however I have a few that dont work as well, we are working on the problem and will most likely have it handled in the next rev, but by all means the more info the better. Mike

I loades the Imagine.pic file into ADPro reduced it as far as ADPro would let me, loaded it in again and reduced it again. Then I loaded it into the ICON editor and saved it as Imaginefp.info, it looks fine. If Impulse doesn't mind, I'll upload it. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

Ah ha! so you didn't get an .info file either! Out of spite, I made a really ugly icon <G>, or maybe it out of serious lack of talent <VBG>. Gracia, on AutoPilot from Cooleemee, NC
