5113.0. "ProWrite 3.2 upgrade." by HPSRAD::BUSCH (Dave Busch, MRO1-2/S10) Thu Oct 10 1991 12:53

I just got a flyer from New Horizons Software announcing a ProWrite 3.2 upgrade.
Briefly, here are some of the features:

     1.	PostScript support directly withing ProWrite - The PostScript module is
	no longer needed to get PostScript output. All of ProWrite's features, 
	including multiple fonts, styles, and columns are supported in Post 
	Script.

     2.	Jaggie-Free printing - Hassle-free, high quality printing without having
	to make any adjustments to font style or size.

     3.	Enhanced User Interface - ProWrite 3.2 has a new "3-D" look, similar to 
	that found in Workbench 2.0.

     4.	Import and export Professional Page text files.

     5.	Directly insert files into ProWrite documents.

     6.	Improved picture handling - Pictures no longer become distorted when 
	repeatedly resized. Alsok pictures retain their original color palette,
	for full color printing.

     7.	Automatic timed saves and automatic backups - Automatically backup your 
	documents, in one minute to sixty minute intervals.

     8. And much, much more!!


To upgrade from:
	ProWrite 3.0 or 3.1, $25 (including $5 s&h) plus your original disk.
	ProWrite 2.0 or 2.5, $65 (including $5 s&h) plus your original disk.
	ProWrite 1.0 or 1.1, $80 (including $5 s&h) plus your original disk.

5113.1	Print to a file?	DENVER::ROY	Dances With Clams	`Wed Oct 23 1991 13:58`	9
	Any chance that the printer output could be redirected to a file. For us poor souls that don't have a HP LaserJet II attached... Or is there a PRT: redirection utility somewhere that I have not yet stumbled onto. Now, that would be nice! -- Steve
5113.2	CMD in the Utility drawer	CX3PT1::WSC017::A_ANDERSON	CSC32::A_Anderson NSU/VAX DTN 592-4170	`Wed Oct 23 1991 14:36`	3
	WB 1.3 had a program called CMD that would do what you wanted. Look into the Utility drawer.
5113.3	PostScript output can be redirected to a file	CHAKRA::ROBERT	For more info, call: 800/555-1212	`Wed Oct 23 1991 15:39`	6
	The PostScript option of ProWrite 3.2 allows you to output to a file. Does a nice job when uploaded to work and printed on an LPS20. I am not sure about redirecting output for ther printers. -----Robert
5113.4	3.2 to 3.2.1 patch available on EOT	TERSE::ROBINSON		`Thu Nov 21 1991 14:03`	19
	I just uploaded a patch file for ProWrite 3.2. I got it by FTPMAIL from the famous ab20 archives. Although it was apparently disscussed in the Usenet amiga applications news group, I don't yet know what it fixes. Here is the readme: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Use lpatch and this patch to update ProWrite 3.2 to 3.2.1. Type 'lpatch' to find out how lpatch works. New Horizons Software, Inc. The new program created by this patch is still bound by the license agreement of ProWrite 3.2. -------------------------------------------------------------- Typing lpatch on VMS doesn't work. :^) The file name is: EOT::AMIGA:[UPLOAD]PROWRITE3_2-3_21-PTCH.LZH;2 Dave
5113.5	New Horizons/Central Coast Software tech support by email	TERSE::ROBINSON		`Thu Nov 21 1991 14:12`	20
	By the way, I got the exact pointer to the ProWrite patch by sending mail to Mark Thomas, who seems to follow the Amiga usenet newsgroups. Here is a header and signature from one of his entries: From: [email protected] (Mark Thomas) . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Thomas / ([email protected]) Tech Support for New Horizons / GEnie: M.THOMAS24 and Central Coast Software / CS Student: UT @ Austin I successfully used the following from a VMS mail prompt: NM%CRL::"[email protected]" Dave

5113.8	You can upgrade in the U.K. ?!?	CRISPY::NONDEP	Il est des fois que je souhaite....	`Wed Jan 15 1992 12:54`	13
	Just phoned New Horizons who told me that in the U.K. I could contact SDL after a call on 081 309 5504 I was told this was a dealer number and should contact 081 309 5504 Lady answered Silica... then was put onto 081 309 1111 to check if they were shipping 3.2 upgrade and not 3.1.1. and was told that I needed to send all documentation and disks to Silica's address in Kent need to look in the newsletter/brochure Silica does along with �13.95 and they would upgrade me to 3.2. How does this seems ? I wasn't too impress by the last call trying to get the address ? Is Silica's service O.K. ? Cheers, Patrick
