Link Diagram of MyPalace
After numerous attempts I have managed to create a pdf file with an link diagram between the ninety-nine distinct data panels in My Palace> as well as a gif file - below that gives the shape of the file - although without being able to read the details.
Note that if you click on the image, this will open the pdf file in a new window and you will be able to see the names of names - along with information on the number of fields, indexes, data links and panel links and dosplay windows in each data file - if you zoom in for a close-up view of the pdf file.
I had previously tried without success on many occasion to generate a pdf file that was both readable and that preserved the format of the page as viewed in Corel WordPerfect - both with the publish to pdf feature and with an old Adobe printer driver for Windows 98, but WP had either been unable to complete the printing or the pdf file had been skewed.
I finally achieved success with the pdf995 printer driver that I have been very happy with since discovering it a few weeks ago. Not only is the price very reasonable - $9.95 - but the driver can continue to be used as shareware if you don't mind seeing an advertisement for other software from the same company - almost all of which only cost $9.95 and can be used on the same evaluation basis.
Not only was I able to generate the pdf file, I had also discoverd a few weeks ago how to generate the link outline - from the DPLinks program - with an expanded line length. Before that I had been improvising with macros in WordPerfect 5.1+ and assembling the full link diagram with a lot of cut-and-paste operation - so that now it will be a straightforward task to generate link diagrams for other DataPerfect digital engines
