Speaking of DOS 3.3 <---> PRODOS conversions I wonder why DATA TRANSFORMS has
never ported FONTRIX to PRODOS? It's one of the few DOS 3.3 programs that I sti
ll use. The time spent accessing the disk drive with this program is maddening.
I've overcome part of the problem by configuring my /RAM card as DOS 3.3 and
loading the program files into it. It makes switching between GRAPHIC WRITER
and the print routine, etc, bearable. However, you cannot load fonts, graphics
or graffiles from the /ram card. They have to be on floppies. Does anyone have
a patch to for this?
By the way, since we're kicking Apples for not doing multitasking I think I'll
yell about the fact that I can't run FONTRIX on the IBM 370. It seems to be
about as appropriate.
