2004-10-06 Thread Mark D Lew
I'm using Fin Mac v2k2 to open some old files I made way back in 1997. I think they were done in Finale v97, but I'm not sure. My Mac is automatically converting them to v2002. When the file opens, there's a window that briefly appears and disappears. I think it's telling me which version

Hi, I notice an increased proportion of html mails on this list, probably partly from new listers, who don't know better. I know that some people with AOL accounts have problems switching to plain text mails, but could all others please stick to plain text? I really don't intend to start a big
