Hints and Tips
10.1
Larger Ö I have recently stumbled upon a feature of Larger which I now
use regularly. I cannot find any reference to it in the manual.
10.1
When you double-click on an application on the backdrop, or in a filer
window, it runs as you would expect. However, when you double-click and
Éholdæ the second click down, the application is opened, as if <shift>
were held down.
10.1
I think that Larger causes this, as it seems to work only when Larger is
loaded.

Ink for Canons Ö I read with interest the letter detailing the
successful use of non-generic inks for Canon printers. I have a BJC 600
and have successfully refilled its cassettes many times using a
hypodermic with a narrow needle. However, recently, the machine simply
stopped printing, and I began to believe the head was damaged. I rang
Canonæs helpline and the first question I was asked was öhave you used a
non-Canon ink?ò Readers should be aware therefore that the use of such
inks probably constitutes a breach of the warranty agreement, and that
should be taken into account.
10.1
P.S. The problem with the printer was solved by simply feeding a great
deal of good paper through it, presumably cleaning the head thoroughly
in the process.

PowerTec SCSI II + PC Card Ö If you use these two, you may have found,
like me, that SCSI discs formatted to DOS do not work with the PC card.
I found that if you format the discs as ÉBlankæ and then use FDisk and
Format from DOS to format them, they work fine.

RTF facilities Ö Reference to Kate Crennellæs request for RTF conversion
(Archive 9.12 p13) there are two Rich Text Format (RTF) PD utilities
!RTFwriter and !RTFreader, both v.1.10, by Darryl Sims. These will
convert RTF version 1 text files to Acorn Edit text format and vice
versa.
10.1
Both utilities are available on Risc Disc CD 1 in the Shareware DTP
directory also on Datafile PD CD 1 Issue 2 in the Applications
directory. They may also be downloaded from Arcade BBS.
10.1
They seem to cope very well with most files, and are recommended to
anyone wanting to do occasional conversions.
10.1
Both utilities are on the Archive magazine disc.
