Protext
« on: May 22, 2011, 09:06:24 PM »
Evening all :-)

I have a lot of documents that were written using Protext - which I don't have.

Some other programs have been able to open the files, but always have strange characters in them. Is there another Amiga text editor that might be able to open these documents without the errors?

I'm waiting to hear back from someone who can hopefully help out with Protext - which is freely available now but I have issues installing it :-(

Why not download Protext? http://www.tigerteam.co.uk/protext/ There's hardly anything you have to "install", it should run more or less out of the box and only needs one assign in user-startup...

Hey cha05e90 - I did find Protext from there - but when I run or try to  install it, it says insert protext thesaurus disk in any volume - but I'm not sure of the exact name the protext thesaurus disk should have so I can't mount it :-(

Type the exact request here and we will try to help you.  The text you need to use in the Assign is usually provided within the request for the missing disk.

No problem now, I started a fresh - when running the Protext program from scratch, it seems it likes to be installed in Work:Protext - no matter what the assign in S:User-Startup. So I created a Work: volume, and copied the Protext drawer there and now all is working!
