I am slightly anxious about getting the new list address right...apologies if this ends up somewhere it shouldn't. I am using MC 2.2 on Mac and the same(ish?) on Windows. I recently wrote to Kevin Miller of Cross Worlds Computing to congratulate him on the paper on stack files available on

Printing Error with newer HPs

1999-10-03 Thread DVGlasgow
I have had this problem. I develop on, and prefer to use Macs, but also have used Windows on a daily basis for many years. - I have regularly encounter printing problems on the PC with all sorts of applications, so until it appeared on the list, I assumed the first page fetish problem was

Arrays, stripping duplicate lines and the HP printer thing again

1999-11-02 Thread DVGlasgow
Three topics, several questions and a grovel. 1. About a thousand years ago I think I might have used arrays before. Then i got used to the rather more clunky Hypercard way. Sloth, ignorance and anxiety have prevented me from using arrays since playing with MC. Are there really big

A couple of digests ago Scott (R) tried to help me out with markers (the usual gratitude etc for a prompt and succinct reply). His advice stopped me banging my head against the wall, but made me realise it was hard do what I wanted to do with markers. Just in case anyone out there ever needs

hello everyone. Two questions: (I suppose I must first confess to not having updated to 2.3, let alone 2.3.1, I am using the starter kit) 1. I have got this crazy idea that maybe it would be possible to diagnose Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in kids using a graphical task and
