2923.0. "DX formatter problems in V2.4" by BLKPUD::PAGETS (Still Working) Fri Jun 25 1993 13:34

    
    I have tried to look for this in all the ALL-IN-1 conferences, not with
    much luck, so here we go:
    
    I look after a customer that uses ALL-IN-1 V2.4. We have a problem with
    control blocks in DX documents, the contents of which are being output
    when the document is being printed, but do not appear when the document
    is read. I have seen a vague STARS article on what appears to be the
    same problem. Is this problem fixed by V3? Are there any fixes to the
    formatter to solve this problem? A V3 upgrade is not an immediate
    option on site.
    
       A side question, have we any idea how much longer V2.4 will be
    supported for?
    
    Cheers,
    
    Sean Paget.

2923.1What formatter?IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Fri Jun 25 1993 14:004
ALL-IN-1 supports more than one formatter.  What formatter is being used to 
format DX documents?  This is defined by the DX entry in the FORMAT master.

2923.2Theres more....EBYGUM::PAGETSStill WorkingFri Jun 25 1993 15:3235
    
    
    Just had a look in the format file and the entry fo DX is as below:
    
    
    
    Name:			DX
    Description:		DECdx formatted document
    Default Filename:		.DX
    Object Extension:
    DSAB Type:			DX
    Template Filename:
    
    Edit Function:
    					Initialisation File:
    					Purge Count:
    					Editor Type:
    
    List Function:
    Print Function:
    Standard Formatting:	N
    
    Compile Command:
    Template form:
    
    
    
    Is there a print function I should be using? Should it be set up for
    Standard Formatting?
    
    
    
    Cheers,
    
    Sean.
2923.3Upgrade to v3.0 is always a good ideaAIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Fri Jun 25 1993 15:4111
    Sean,
    
    and to answer your trailing question. ALL-IN-1 v2.4 will be supported
    for quite a long time yet - at least until another major release of
    ALL-IN-1 occurs. However there are many good reasons for moving you
    or your customer to v3.0 as soon as possible so you should not hold
    back on that.

2923.4Customisation...who needs it.BLKPUD::PAGETSStill WorkingWed Jun 30 1993 11:029
    
    Unfortunately, due to the level of customisation on site, V3.0 is not
    an immediate option, but more of a long term goal.
    
    Has any one any idea about the DX problem?
    
    Cheers,
    
    Sean Paget.
