A slight problem... Recently I ftp'ed a program from husc6.harvard.edu that converts an APW file into a TXT file. After de-Binscii-ing and unshrinking the file, I managed to get it to run, but the 80-column display is really messed up (printing every other column, running over the right edge, etc.) Does anyone know what types of Apples it runs on, or what versions of ProDOS? I am using a 1983 Apple ||e (unenhanced) with the Apple Extended 80-cols. I have posted the program into comp.binary.apple to make tests possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul K.

The program does use MouseText characters, so maybe that causes a problem on your unenhanced //e. Howard C. Huang huang@husc4.harvard.edu

I spend some time editing, but it certainly is time-consuming. -- ------------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Sharon Lindsey O'Neil | Internet: oneil@zeus.unl.edu "Semper Ubi Sub Ubi." | Bitnet: oneil@unoma1 "Illegitimi non carborundum!" | UUCP: ...!uunet!zeus.unl.edu!oneil ------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
