Final Writer and update 1

I thought I had read about a new problem with Final Writer and the update, but a search didn't bring anything up.

Is anyone else finding it impossible to run Final WRiter '97 with 4.1 update1?

I've tried starting it from shell and Workbench, but nothing happens either way.

With shell, I only get a console window saying something about an unfreed signal 4000000. (I forget the exact number of zeroes.) No output at all if tried to start it from Workbench.

Do others have it running with update 1?

I have FinalWriter 5 and it opens with OS 4.1 update1. I haven't really tested it to see how well it works. I think I initially had a problem because I had an OS4 screen set up for FinalWriter in the "Screens" prefs but my old Screens prefs didn't seem to work with the update. Check if you have FinalWriter in your Screens prefs and rename or delete those old prefs. Another possibility might be the Monitor settings. Some older programs save the MODEID for their screeen in their prefs. For some reason the MODEID numbers in the update are different than with plain OS 4.1. Try renaming/removing your FinalWriter prefs to see if that helps.

I have Final Writer 97 working very well with the 4.1U1.

You most change your "Input Preferences" to a Keyb0ard without "ISO" or "?" in the name.

This make some programs like Final Writer, Amiga Writer and Art Effect works.

@xenic and RIBDEVIL,

Ahhhhh, yesss. . .

Thank you.

I had forgotten about the old FW.prefs problem. I renamed the old prefs and let it start from scratch again. All is well now.

I'll have to go in and see about doing some cutting and pasting from the old prefs files to get some of the time consuming fonts and RTF settings back.

Hmm..yeah I have this problem with AmigaWriter and ArtEffect when using Croatian ISO-8859-2 in input prefs..and what..I need changet it every time when need this two apps??

@VooDoo

I don't change my prefs to the ISO version anymore.

Only if you need the ? sign in other apps change it.
