I just imported an .ps file without inlined binary preview, just plain ASCII postscript code and it worked well ! Sure, you don't get a preview in that case, but if you switch to "full picture" (Vollabbild is the german word) FW is displaying it without any problems (after some time of waiting...). And printing also works well even on my non postscript printer ! So FW must have an interpreter for PS code. E.g. just try to import the tiger.ps from the ghostscript distribution (/examples). Comments are welcome.

No, FW decodes ( interprets ) Postscript files. That is a fact.

I got EPS but a little corrupted :( For example: If I type for example a word in DrawStudio and fill it with GRADIENT, when export as EPS and convert etc etc... and import it directly to PageStream - I can't see gradient... The problem is in DIFFERENT EPS files... Some EPSs CAN'T handle gradient... Huh...

Of course, I only use American units or picas for measuring, not cm. Maybe try using different units and see if that helps. Are you using Amiga printer drivers or some other? You may want to fiddle with the graphics preferences in the printer driver, like turn centering off.

Most of my EPS files are either hand written with an editor, or produced by a graphics program called psgraph which I wrote. This program is available on my website, at http://people.ne.mediaone.net/hwollman/software/psgraph.html In either case the logic of the image is relatively simple, just lines, symbles, or text at specified coordinates, and FinalWriter does a good job of importing and displaying them. None of my images ever have a preview, except for rare cases where someone MUST see them on a Mac. Because of this thread, I tried to import into FinalWriter an extremely complex (but small) image, called hat.ps. This is a file which is only 22 KBytes long, 13 KBytes of which is a 2 dimensional array of numbers. However, the Postscript interpreter must transform it into a three dimensional object, with arbitrary viewing angles, contour color mapping, and hidden line removal. Post requires about 40 seconds on my (extremely fast) Amiga (A2000 with a 30MHz MC68040 Fusion 40). FinalWriter chokes completely. It produces a blank graphics object, with just the 8 handles. I suspect that the trouble is caused by the multiple layers of coordinate matrix transforms. -- Herbert Wollman home - hwollman@mediaone.net work - hwollman@mitre.org ---- to unsubscribe from fwml, send mail to "fwml_admin@thepentagon.com" with "unsubscribe finalwriter" in the message-body.

That's what the draft option in FW is, printer fonts. This may not be your problem, but go to the Amiga's graphics printer preferences and make sure "Center Picture" is turned off, and "Limits - Type" = ignore.

I finally got video lable printing somewhat under control, after many trials and errors. I alway hope, there is a good soul out there writing a video lable program for FW. In any event I finally resorted to text frames to get the text placement where it should on the lable. I am using 8 1/2 X 11.0 sheets with six spine labels and six face labels. Two spine, two two face, two spine, two face etc. > FW printing is basically a graphic dump. If it was a text print, it would > use the printer's fonts.

It has 4 interactive modules for 'Set up'; 'Text'; 'Fonts'; and 'Graphics'. The Amiga printer prefs are not in use. How do you handle the video labels on you page set up? There is one other observation I made, the paper for the labels is rather slick, compared to regular paper and may introduce some slippage. Also, let's say I have printed the four top most labels and I want to print the two lower ones on the page, I make darn sure there are at least text frame on the upper ones, so the printer will do line feeds. If not, the alignment is shot. Keep me posted I you care to Johann ---- to unsubscribe from fwml, send mail to "fwml_admin@thepentagon.com" with "unsubscribe finalwriter" in the message-body.

So I guess I am being ambitious, huh? ;-) Well -- maybe with them. With electronic mail being mostly "instant", I don't see any reason for them not to reply within 24 hours. I always thought long-delayed replies to email were a very poor way to run a business. But I guess with the low volume of sales towards the end they relegated the product support to a "hobby" level. :( I wonder if Final Writer for Windows '95 ever sold many copies. If that did well they'd have enough business to keep the company going. They may have finally just given up on continuing. It's funny, though -- if the Amiga starts getting popular again and does well, people will appear everywhere and say "we've been here for the Amiga since the early days!" :) -- Tom -- Half of conversation is listening. ---- to unsubscribe from fwml, send mail to "fwml_admin@thepentagon.com" with "unsubscribe finalwriter" in the message-body.

Newer versions have also been in Finalwriter/FWLibs. The problem is, the system scans first for libraries in LIBS: If it finds the requested libraries no other dirs would be scanned. So be careful: Delete all fwlibs in LIBS: and use ONLY the location Finalwriter/FWLibs for these libs. An update of FW (or a reinstallation) will also only update the libs there.

Is it possible to type in the fax with > out then send/fax it back My suggestion: What you do is load it as an IFF image - like you did - but double click on the image then and chhange the attributes so that you can type over it. Then you just use the "text box" function to move the text you have typed into the correct place. To elaborate on that: You may have to make a blank page so you can type the details first then block the text and move it to the correct part of the page....

Wenn ich einen Bildschirmmodus mit mehr als mehr als 16 Farben einstelle (CyberGFX), ist a) der Mousezeiger in FW sehr schelcht zu erkennen, weil der Mousezeiger bei mehr als 16 Farben hellgrau wird und nicht wie bei 16 oder weniger Farben dunkelgrau bis schwarz und b) wenn ich einen Text markiere ist dieser ganz schwarz, so daß man den markierten Text nicht lesen kann. Stelle ich ich hingegen den Bildschirmmodus auf 16 Farben oder weniger, ist alles wie gewohnt. Ich habe schon probiert in den Farbeinstellungen was zu ändern, aber das bringt auch nichts. Hat jemand eine Idee wie man das abstellen kann ?
