Dear listers, I have an old braille printer that is not attached to my mac. To emboss something, all I have to do is create simple plain text files with 27 lines per page, and no more than 30 characters per line. Looking at how text edit handles printing however, that works with inches or centi

Hi amadeus users, Joining files is easy. Here's how I do it: 1. Open amadeus, the sound menu and then join files. This dialog has a listbox and 2 buttons. To begin with, of course all files you are going to join, must be in the same audio format. 2. Hit the add button. If it's not labeled, use

Re: the Burn app

2015-03-02 Thread Paul Erkens
