Top Post ==>>Re: Linux filepro not reading ascii processing table from widows

[Tony Freehauf]

hi ken
thanks for the response
i am using the following work around:
  cp over the processing  table & the same processing table with a suffix of x
  use filepro & open the processing table
   f4 (delete) all lines
   add 1 line line like ' comment and save
   use vi to open the processing table
   add 1 line and use r processname with suffix x to append to the processing 
table.
   now save & processing table will be good.
