RE: Missing XYwin filters

["Buschman George G." GGB@xxxxxxxx]

Rene,

Check that the 2 files TEXTIN.FLT and TEXTOUT.FLT are in the XW\Filters
directory. They contain an ascii list of
available filters which are called up by the menu/dialog system. Also
check the FILTERS Path under the
ADVANCED MENU - PREFERENCES/DEFAULTS/PATHS. It needs to specify the
directory where all the filter files
are located.
