Is there a way to load Postscript files into ProWrite? Will there be? David – via Whap!

David, Postscript files are just text files so yes, you can load Postscript files into ProWrite. You will have to tell ProWrite to show all files in it's file requester. The thought occurred to me that you may be asking if you can load an interpreted Postscript file into ProWrite so that all the formatting of the file shows up on screen. This is not possible and will probably be left up to desktop publishing packages. Mark Thomas Customer Support New Horizons Software, Inc.

Of course I'm asking that (but you're right, I should have been more explicit)! I was looking for a way of sharing my papers with the word processor at work since I think it can interpret Postscript (its a Framemaker derivative). That way I could continue my writing at home when I working on a large project (maybe even do a little telecommuting ;-). Would be an interesting/desirable capability (is John Foust watching ;-).
