Is it possible to get Microsoft File to recognize a new font? It's running on an SE with a 20 Meg hard disk. I believe it's an old version of File (I'm posting for a friend). Any replies would be welcomed (e-mail O.K.). Thanks. -- Bitnet: lib.cb@uchicago.bitnet Internet: lib.cb@chip.uchicago.edu uucp: ..!ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!cjdb

Take a hint from all the other ex-File users. Find a new database. It's been over two years since Microsoft last updated File, and from my attempts to get an answer out of them over it, they seem to have no intention of doing any further support on it. Go get Filemaker+. It's a good, inexpensive little database with very strong report writer features. chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Editor, OtherRealms Delphi: CHUQ

It's so good (to quote the President of Remington), Microsoft bought the company, and tried to buy the database -- obviously to replace File. Frankly, HyperCard is a better database than File, which isn't saying much... "What are you so damn cheerful about? The stock market crashed!" "I'm a software engineer. I TRAFFIC in human misery."

is anyone familiar with Microsoft File? We use it at our company here and recently a floppy (400k MFS) with an important document (they had no backup of course!) went south. We used Symanteks SUM utilities to get the file back, all data appears to be there when I look at the file in Res-Edit or whatever, but when I try and load it into MS File it says the data format is bad (probably bad in 1 sector, since it loads for quite a while before I get the message). Any ideas on how I can get MS File to accept this thing as good, considering probably 90%+ of the file is intact? -Roger Uzun
