This is in no way a critism of ProWesS, which is an absolute master piece! It just never suited me. The machines we had at the time were also not ideal, being too slow and having a limited resolution.
In connection with the printer project, I wanted to run Proforma, but couldnt get it to work, so I tried loading it together with the ProWesS installation I did some years ago, which I know was working. I couldnt get it to work either. So I downloaded the latest files from your website (progs.be) and started all over again. No problem installing everything from flp1_ and modifying my boot file accordingly - but no joy. It still didnt work. After mucking about for too many hours, I wiped out the installation and started again. To speed things up I cloned the floppy to a ramdisk, altered the PWSDIR$ variable and ran the boot program: The machine hangs during the loader startup, just after installing DATAdesign (ie, that is the last message on the display) - more or less the same problem I was having with the installation all along. Ie, it appears I can only run it from a floppy disk. Any suggestions? Per _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
