Dear Garst,
Can you handle an 8bit (not mime) 10k tar.gz file?
Not with Emacs RMAIL; I pull all files over ftp or http.
I would really like
it if you could test before I send them to the list. As things stand
now, you can insert a blockbreak after viewing and deciding where it
should go, but it will not do it automatically, and I have not the
slightest idea as to how to do that, much less in a sensible way. It
would be most helpful if you could convert a script and tell me where
the new hollywood fails.
Garst
I do not mean to be unkind. But if one cannot reproduce the parameters and page
breaks of Final Draft, Scriptware, ScriptThing and Movie Magic Screenwriter then
there is not a migration path. What you are doing is FINE for new scripts so
long as it falls *within* the range of defaults AND breaks *somehow* at the
proper length. But for people who have multiple scripts in circulation of a
stated length, it is not possible to migrate if the migration changes the script
more than a partial page.
The reason I have asked this mailing list for assistance is that I suspected I
*would* have to make my own migration path. I have the need for it and that is
what drives open source; you have your own work to do - I am not criticizing
you. I am surprised at how reluctant this group is to answer simple questions
like: "What is a good Latex reference?" or "Which of the layout/class pairs show
the most understanding of how things should be done?"
The answers to those two questions are really all that I am looking for from
this mailing list.
Respectfully,
