Here's a little "bug" (I guess) I encountered when loading an AppleWorks 3.0 WP file into the ProTERM Editor v2.2. There's inverse "VWWWW"s here and there and also an ocaisional inverse "P". What's the deal? _________________________________________________________________________ | Move over Rover & |Email Addresses: Kent Squires "goo goo g'joob" | | let Jimi take over!| Internet: kjs39186@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu | | -------------------| ProLine: kents@pro-apa | | I wouldn't do it |_______ America OnLine: kents12 | | for all the farms in Cuba! | FidoNet: 233/15 Kent Squires | |____________________________|____________________________________________|

I think you're getting those inverse characters because the ProTERM Editor v2.2 is not compatible with AppleWorks v3.0. I tried to load an AppleWorks file into ProTERM but it didn't work. I guess we'll have to wait for ProTERM v3.0 whenever that comes out! As long as we're on the subject of Proterm, I've been having trouble getting my printer to work with it. I have the ImageWriter II with Applied Engineering's Serial Pro in slot 1. I have no problems printing with any other program, except Proterm. Is this another bug in v2.2?? If it's not a bug, can someone help me with this problem? Thanks. Also, has anyone noticed that when the time is 12:00 am, Proterm still displays the date of the previous day? Now that I know is a bug! --------------------- William Katz 'The skier' Internet: wkatz@gnh-applesauce.cts.com Bitnet: r79qc@cunyvm CompuServe: 70031,3015 (If I have any free time left.)

Didn't ProTERM v2.2 come out about the same time AW 3.0 did? _________________________________________________________________________ | Move over Rover & |Email Addresses: Kent Squires "goo goo g'joob" | | let Jimi take over!| Internet: kjs39186@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu | | -------------------| ProLine: kents@pro-apa | | I wouldn't do it |_______ America OnLine: kents12 | | for all the farms in Cuba! | FidoNet: 233/15 Kent Squires | |____________________________|____________________________________________|

Files prepared with older versions will load properly. Myself, since I got ProTERM, I haven't booted AppleWorks, old or new. >| let Jimi take over!| Internet: kjs39186@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu | >| -------------------| ProLine: kents@pro-apa | >| I wouldn't do it |_______ America OnLine: kents12 | >| for all the farms in Cuba! | FidoNet: 233/15 Kent Squires | -- /// ____ \\\ "The major problem--one of the major problems, for there are | |/ / \ \| | several--one of the many major problems with governing \\_|\____/|_// people is of whom you get to do it, or more to the greg \_\\\/ hoss.unl.edu point, who gets people to let them do it to them."

[ I just wish you could specify more than 99 chars/line and more than 99 lines/page. I can quite easily print 160 chars/line and 158 lines/page (mind you it's small :-) ] Does it print at all for you? >Also, has anyone noticed that when the time is 12:00 am, Proterm still >displays the date of the previous day? Now that I know is a bug! Yes, I've noticed this a lot. I also think it should print 12:00:xx instead of 0:00:xx when it's 12:00 midnight. Since there is a teensy bit of GS-specific code in ProTERM already, I think they should get the time from the toolbox so it comes up in the format I set in the control panel. And I think it should print time on-line in seconds as well as minutes. And a bunch more things.... I could go on .... :-) -- Jerry Penner Edmonton, Alberta, Canada jpenne@bode.ee.ualberta.ca or alberta!bode!jpenne

Now that I know is a bug! >Yes, I've noticed this a lot. Still, not a serious bug. Television guides often list hours up to 4:30 am as the previous day. >I also think it should print 12:00:xx >instead of 0:00:xx when it's 12:00 midnight. The correct way to represent midnight on a 24-hour-format clock is 00:00 (disregarding seconds). 12:00 is noon. >Since there is a teensy >bit of GS-specific code in ProTERM already, I think they should get >the time from the toolbox so it comes up in the format I set in the >control panel. Now that is a good idea. However, you'll need extra space for your am/pm indicator. >And I think it should print time on-line in seconds as >well as minutes. Not all clocks provide seconds, so'll they would have to configure for different clock abilities as well. > Jerry Penner Edmonton, Alberta, Canada >jpenne@bode.ee.ualberta.ca or alberta!bode!jpenne Good ideas though. Perhaps you should send them in to InSync and see if they are willing to put them into 3.0. -- /// ____ \\\ "The major problem--one of the major problems, for there are | |/ / \ \| | several--one of the many major problems with governing \\_|\____/|_// people is of whom you get to do it, or more to the greg \_\\\/ hoss.unl.edu point, who gets people to let them do it to them."
