Thx, I got part 16. Anybody who hasn't got it yet may mail me (not so many please), but I'd rather you get it from somewhere else, because my link is rather expensive. I have one other problem though: I unnzoo'd cwp in drive C, make sys, copied all other files into sys and started cwp. Works fine so far. Then I decided to copy it to diskette to use it on another PC which has a printer. But, it shows the titlepage, and then: Can't find base font. program aborted. I bring it back to the original PC, and run it there, (from A:), same thing. It runs from C, but not from A:. I observed that it accesses C on the other PC to look for something. But i dunno what. Anobody have an idea? aTdHvAaNnKcSe Mathias

One more thing: There isn't any notice about registration etc in the cwp.zoo file. Can someone please clarify the status of the program. Otherwise I'll assume it is PD :-)

From the CPW documentation, CWP is available by anonymous FTP from; ahkcus.org in the directory /src/pc/cwp I have not tried to FTP it to my machine though. > > I have one other problem though: > > I unnzoo'd cwp in drive C, make sys, copied all other files into sys and > started cwp.

CWP changes the attributes of a file in the SYS directory to system when you first run it. When you coppied the files to a floppy, the file with the system bit set would not be copied. That is why it would not run elsewhere. You may have to copy from the original .ZOO file. Alternatively, if you have PCTOOLS (or any other file manager like tools which can handle hidden files), use PCTOOLS to copy the hidden file.

Can someone please clarify the status of the program. Otherwise I'll > assume it is PD :-) As I understood from CWP documentation posted here earlier on, CWP is a demo version of a commercial product. I quote the doccumentation, "The only difference between the demo version and the full version is the size of a file being edited is limited to about 1000 bytes (500 Chinese characters) with the demo version." [Hope this helps.] ---------- As an aside, I have not been able to find any mention of how to contact the authors, so I will have to post this observation here instead of sending email: a) I do not see why one of the font files have to be protected with a set system bit. If this is a demo program, one should be able to copy it easily. b) It sometimes crashes when I type fast. Sometimes, it goes into a funny. The only way to get out of this mode is to quit the program and start again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dennis Chuah | "Pencangkul Matahari" email: |The gunners: We have EEE Canterbury| chuah%canopus.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz | taken the league!.
