File Conversion / Crash
Last post by Retlaw - April 08, 2017, 01:13:11 AMIt is some years since I last made contact, I've been faithfully plodding
my way through my projects. finished my work on Accrington Pals and
my other project Greater Accrington Heroes, over 12500 men and women
in my patch who took the Kings Shilling in WW1, then disaster struck,
switched the computer on March 5th, and all the icons had moved, so started shoving
them back to where they should be, that's when it happened as I put the
mouse pointer over WS it vanished, went to XTGOLD can't find my files any where,
nothing in the dustbin, called in a friend who is supposed to be good at
these things, (he's been chiding me for years for using WS,) he can't find anything
either, said he would have to come back with a forensic program in a couple of days, not
heard from him since. all mi WW1 files were backed up every night, but all my
files on local history, letters, and loads of other files, I'd never backed them
up for years.
Last week after days of searching finally found them on a DVD 8 years old,
copied them back to the other comp, about 98% recovery, but although managed to put an
icon on the desk top,WS won't open says missing Preview ovl. Fontid CL & WSMSG, the
files are there I've seen them, Can't reinstall WS one of the original floppies is faulty,
now I'm stuck.
Its now over 30 years since I installed the original WS, these days I'm having
trouble remembering things from day to day, thankfully its not a virus or anything from the
internet, that computer sits on its own and has never been connected to any other source.
Please help I'm at me wits end, I'm fed up with people saying you daft old
bugger wod you bothering about at your age.
I just tell the there is nothing clever in getting old, but it can be dammed hard coping
Many thanks

Macro Programs / Wordstar 6 - How Create Macros...
Last post by sojourner - November 15, 2015, 03:06:57 AMI've been using Wordstar 6 for DOS for a long, long time. So long I've forgotten how to
do (or fix) things I used to know. I used to have a series of keystrokes that would be
executed when I pressed the F8 function key. Now, for some reason, it no longer works and
I can't remember how to program (or reprogram) a function key macro. (I know how to
create and use ESC #key macros, but I need this one to be on a function key.)
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Bruce
