Letters to ACE(NSW) Mailbox
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear ACE,
Thanks for the discs you sent me previously. We have had a bit of fun with
Funface, Mugshot and Crossword Creator. (Its a shame it doesn't print
diagonal lines instead of black squares for all thoes squares we didn't
fill up. The printer ribbon people love this program!) I was impressed
with your speed in despatching your stuff! I have enclosed a cheque and
order form for more PD software.
Can I use the Printmaster graphics in the new version of Pagestream?
Is disk A38 more Printermaster stuff? (I don't find the list of PD things
very informative!)
Is there a way of using the graphics on the original Printmaster disc in
other programs?
I had a copy of fastcheck and fasterpack before, but I broke the first
computer commandment ( Make a backup ) and tried to use them to repack the
partition of my Hard Disk they were on and lost the lot! At the moment my
WP/DTP partition looks very badly packed, so I eagerly await disc U63, but
this time I will make a backup first!
In the last disk magazine, I found the letters and replies on Pagestream
version 2 very interesting. I had had a lot of the same problems myself,
and had worked out similar solutions.
Would there be any users of NOTATOR who are club members? It is such a
complex program that I'm sure a tips column would be helpful. I have
learnt a few things about it, but I know there's a lot more I could learn.
I find the latest update ( 3.1 ) to be a significant improvement, as was
the previous upgrade. However, the much mooted saving to IMG file, and
printing out from your desktop publisher does not yet work for me.
As a high school music teacher, I find the program invaluable for printing
music for classroom use, and now have over 100 songs I have keyed in,
either by realtime entry, or steptime. If anybody would like to talk to me
about Notator or other things then you can call me on (047) 39-8255 or
write to me via ACE and they will pass the letter on to me.
Yours faithfully,
David McKay

Answers:
To use the original Printmaster or any Printmaster type Graphics in any
other software, you will need a Printmaster to Degas converter utility.
Disk A22 in the ACE PD library has a converter utility plus other stuff you
might be interested in.
The ACE PD disk A38 is all Printmaster graphics but they can be converted
to other type of graphics by using the converter utilities on PD disk A22.
ACE is always working on the PD library and it is growing all the time. We
are doing our best to get the latest and best PD software from all over the
world and it is very time consumeing and we can only put a small
description about each item. If you need more info about the PD disks then
you can always call the PD sales officer to get more info on the disks.
I hope we have answered most of your Questions.
