- I've had minor problems with Facelift for WP, ver 1.5. To make it work
- reliably I use the following BAT file:
-
- FLWP
- wp %1
-
- Note that Facelift is installed as a "tsr" and then WP is executed.
- But using
-
-
- FLWP WP
-
- did not work for me: each character printed became a separate print
- file in the print queue!
-
- Now for the bad news: Facelift ver 2.0 will not work using this same
- technique--I can't get it to work at all. Which version do you have?
-
- I just love these vendors that don't test their trash under OS/2....
