I have just recently been plagued with a problem that I believe should be mentioned to the network. I manage a MAC network that has about 40 SE/30's and MAC II's, two laserprinters and a colormate PS printer. The problem has to do with the inadequecies of WP 1.03 and its ability to recognise font numbers. We were having problems with some of our copies not recognizing the font type and not rewriting a change to the screen or the printer. It turns out that WP 1.03 does not have the ability to recognise font numbers above 256. With the new NFONT resource, font numbers can be much larger than this (32,000 to big?). After talking with WordPerfect we were told that the new version would take care of this problem. The new version will not be out till the next quarter though but there is an intermediate FREE bug fix (version 1.2???) I just thought you would like to know that if you have this problem there is a solution .

We're breathing down their necks on this - our new Macs our here and WP 2.0 isn't. We were told on Monday that the programmers were still working on 2.0. The latest date we were given for availability was "end of January". David Gutierrez drg@mdaali.cancer.utexas.edu "Only fools are positive." - Moe Howard
