[sw-l] Using the SW Convert java program.

[Eloy Lobato Alvarez]

Thanks Valerie.
 
I've been able to open SW4.4 signs with SignWriter Java... just changing the
upper chase from 4.4 version to lower chase .AAA to .aaa  Thanks for your
information. We'll be waitting for your new Java version which be able to
print.
 
Well I'm afraid that the DOS Box 0.63 version can't print yet. 
 
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php
 
"In theory, any DOS application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has
been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication,
networking and printer support are still in early developement."
 
So, we have to wait a newer version to print directly with this program...
It's a good program. To configure fine the DOS Box with SW4.4 we have to
change the DOSBox.conf file as:
 
machine=tandy     (original is machine=vga)
 
We have to add some lines at the end of file too...
 
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
mount c c:\sw
c:
sw
exit
 
c:\sw            must be the directory where SW 4.4 is into our hard disk. I
hope this information will help anyone.
 
Well, Valerie, I don't know if will be able to travel to Belgium, but we
will be waitting for all good news about SignWritign.
 
Thanks again and best regards form Spain.

Hello SW List members, and Eloy!
This is great news. We both must thank Stefan Woehrmann for mentioning
DOS Box, which I do not know how to use very well...I work on a
Macintosh computer, and now because of other programs such as
SignPuddle, SignWriter Java and SignBank, I do not work on Windows any
longer, and I prefer that...
 
I am sorry I do not know how to print with DOS Box. Stefan, can you
help us with this?...Or perhaps your printing problems are within the
SignWriter program itself, and not a DOS Box problem? I will write
again with general printing information for SignWriter DOS...
 
I also sent you information on how to use SignWriter Java...I hope you
saw that instruction too?...Unfortunately SignWriter Java doesn't print
either....that is why I prefer working in other ways...I combine
SignBank and SignPuddle with other programs, such as Microsoft Word
etc...to get full SignWriting documents...until these problems are
solved with SignWriter, I prefer that route..but everyone is
different...
 
I will be telephoning Steve and Dianne Parkhurst in Spain today...we
have a scheduled appointment by telephone...so it is nice to meet you
too, Eloy! And I will tell them of our conversations on the List...
 
And I would love to visit Spain, however, because of health problems, I
have been unable to travel for the past 10 years. So I cannot come to
Spain. BUT....Eloy, can you attend the First European SignWriting
Symposium in Brussels?
 
To attend the Symposium, you will need to register. Go to this web page:
