Hi Jane,
You are NOT alone
I have been suffering with this problem for the
past few years.
Exact number ? ... not worth
remembering.
What I have been doing is this .
Go to DOS prompt and change the extension to
.PS
This is ok when the file names are within DOS
limitations.
If the number of characters are more than 8, then
that file will in DOS will be something like Myfile~1.prn
In order MOT to have have this problem, I have benn
chosing file names carefully.
But when some one sends a file (which does not
happen in my case) you are in a problem.
I have made this suggestion several times to
Adobe.
They have not even acknowledged.. leave alone
giving a solution.
In life.. the best way to defeat the other
man is ....to join him.
That's what I am doing right now.
Now I have decided to write (or get written) a
small program in Visual Basic to change the extension from .PRN to
.PS
It will be ready within a day or two.
I will surely spare a copy to
you.
Please send your reqest off the list.
It won't be a big file. It will be baout 30 to
40k file maximum
