I'm doing some work for the Galileo project (which includes an orbiter and a probe that will dive into Jupiter's atmosphere). I have copied source code from a VAX to LisaWrite documents using LisaTerminal. How can I convert LisaWrite documents to LisaDraw documents? I first tried selecting an entire document and CUTting it, which copies it into the Scratchpad. Unfortunately when I tried to PASTE from the Scratchpad while in LisaDraw I found that only the first 25 bytes are PASTEd. (This is under version 1.8 of the Office system; another Lisa with version 2.0 is limited to about 60 bytes.) We also have the Workshop operating system with a Pascal and Basic compiler. Can I use this somehow to convert LisaWrite to LisaDraw documents? Please send me answers directly as well as to INFO-MAC. Larry @ jpl-vlsi ------
