I've not been watching this list for a while, and the last time I was paying attention, this topic wasn't being discussed, so here goes..... I need to know what patches are available, what they do, and where to get them for AppleWorks on a //e. In particular, patches for non-Apple printers, and if there is a need for a patch to make Appleworks go with a 3.5 diskette format. If you reply directly to me, I will be happy to summarize and post the summary. Otherwise, reply to the list, and I will get it eventually. Thanks, Luther Atkinson@vcuvax (bitnet) Atkinson@ruby.vcu.edu (internet) Atkinson@gems.vcu.edu (no idea what net, but it works for a number of them.)

In-Reply-To: message from ATKINSON@RUBY.VCU.EDU Speaking of Appleworks and patches, is there a way to get Appleworks to recognize _all_ the memory in the computer? I currectly have the equivalent of a //c with a 1meg RAM card. (Okay, it's a Laser 128EX - big deal.) If the RAM card is disabled, I get a tiny desktop that fits on the /RAM device. If ther RAM card is enabled, I get a 1010K desktop that fits on the /RAM5 device. I'm looking for a way to get Appleworks to access both devices. This, of course, would probably require some generous patching - getting the sizes of each file on each RAMdisk, then translating the AppleWorks selective load command to switch between files. At any rate, it would seem rather complex. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Also desired: a way to make AppleWorks auto-segment files. I have a 411-block text file that I've had to segment myself to fit onto two 5.25" disks. It would, naturally, be much easier all around if I could tell Appleworks there's more file there that needs to be read from another disk.... Similarly, getting Appleworks to segment files for saving would be good. ---- ProLine: rhood@pro-gsplus | "Wherever you go...there you are."
