More 1.99n Sender: owner-paper@nacm.com Precedence: bulk Hello Y'all, Well, E\D1.99n looks pretty good, although i'd like to see it work properly in OS/2 again. The boot DOS from A: thing is more of a cludge than a solution. But it works. Must say the graphics are very fast now, with and without VBE 2.0, but 2.0 is very fast. I don't see this "annoying white border" that some peole are griping about. 2.0 looks the same as 1.2, except that the cursor draws better, no more box of vision in a sea of black... I'm using UniVBE51a. Few problems: Write Now 4.0.2: Coloring a table still crashes it. Expanding the spacing between lines (like double spacing) crashes it. Shrinking the spacing does not seem to though. It bombs after about 5 seconds after the change is made. A document opened with this increased spacing also crashes. Other than that WriteNow4.0 seems pretty stable and usable. Style, font, size changes all work, as do text color changes. Formatting floppies seemed to work fine. I have a 2x CD-ROM, but i normally don't load the drivers since i don't use it in DOS much and they take up memory, but Executor won't load unless they are loaded. It hangs when the screen is black. This is odd. Can it see the drive without its drivers? This is the only reason i can see that explains why only one of my 4 DOS boot options works. If i see more bugs, etc. I'll let y'all know.
