-
- I just bought "FLEXIDRAW" by
-
- Inkwell Systems and I think that this
-
- graphics program is the best for the
-
- money. The program is easy to use. My
-
- 5 year old girl and my 9 year old son
-
- can draw graphics and print them on
-
- the printer. I recommend this program
-
- highly for any person who likes to do
-
- graphics. The queston I have is how
-
- can this be used with PRINTSHOP? I
-
- have not been able to use it as of
-
- yet, but I'll keep trying. Can any
-
- one help me?

-
- I've been having some problems with
-
- my printer. It's a Comrex CR-220 (by
-
- Epson). My problem is that I can't
-
- seem to get PRINTSHOP to work with my
-
- printer. I know for sure that the
-
- software has no errors, but I don't
-
- know why I payed $80.00 for
-
- PRINTSHOP if it won't work on my
-
- printer.

- Please explain the difference
-
- between Bam Copy and Whole Disk Copy.
-
- We don't understand the difference-
-
- they seem like the same thing.

- How do we copy the programs from
-
- Loadstar onto our own disk so that
-
- the directions come along with the
-
- program? We like to put games all on
-
- one disk, but cannot get the
-
- directions to run them. We have
-
- tried to copy NIBBLER.O, NIBBLER.S,
-
- NIBBLER.SHP, T.NIBBLER.S, but only
-
- the NIBBLER.S runs the game.
-
- All those file names are confusing
-
- and we are not sure which ones are
-
- related to which!

-
- Today my LoadStar disk #19 came
-
- in the mail and I immediately loaded
-
- it to get the next installment of
-
- Comal tutorial and to my dismay it
-
- was not there. If you have canceled
-
- it, just cancel my subscription since
-
- there is nothing in the publication
-
- which interests me.

- >do have plans to carry it every now
- >and then as a special feature.
