In a reply to my first request about info re: the metafile save problem,
a NETter asked me to make sure GDOS was in. Thanks for the tip but that was
not the problem. I had GDOS in (actually G+Plus) and could run my Timeworks
DTP. When I tried a /GraphSaveMetafile a file called GEMFILE.GEM (236 bytes)
was created, followed by the message 'Cannot open workstation'. Damn, I want
to touch up metafiles with something like EASYDRAW or GEMDRAW (PC). The
following shows my ASSIGN.SYS file:

path = d:\publish\gemsys
01p screen.sys ; DEFAULT
02p acreen.sys ; low res
03p screen.sys ; MEDIUM RESOLUTION
04p screen.sys ; HIGH RESOLUTION

What's the problem here! Has anyone actually saved metafiles with LDW?
