RoboType program "TRCSr" <trcmail[ at ]intrstar.net> 12/15/2008 10:20:43 PM Many years ago I got the RoboType program from PC Magazine (when the programs were still free to subscribers). I have used it very much and depend on it a lot. However, in the past few months it has become unreliable - sometimes it won't load properly, sometimes it won't install the Task Bar icon, and sometimes it gives the wrong text for the commanded one. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several ties to no avail. Does anybody know of any similar programs that are available that are no too expensive? In case you are not familiar with RoboType, you can define a line of text to be inserted when you enter an abbreviation or code with the proper suffix, usually a space. You can define a number of libraries so that you can load one for when you are doing your taxes, one when you are typing a letter, one for ... well, you get the idea. Thanks for any help. TRCSr

Re: RoboType program "TRCSr" <trcmail[ at ]intrstar.net> 12/16/2008 1:21:24 AM Thanks you for your response and advice. Please excuse my incompetence, but I cannot get the program from that site. I click on the <Download Now> icons and I don't see anything happening. Sometimes some of the icons take me to the PCMag site where they want me to pay for, what I believe is, the old version, which is the version that I am having problems with. Could you please take a minute and send me some instructions as to how to get this program. It did load a file with and extension of ".pf", but I don't know what to do with that file. Thanks for your patience. TRCSr (trcmail[ at ]intrstar.net) "Don Schmidt" <Don Engineer[ at ]PNB.Retired_1987> wrote in message news:irGdnadNpNPXctvUnZ2dnUVZ_sbinZ2d[ at ]posted.palinacquisition...

Re: RoboType program "Frank-FL" <bbunny[ at ]bqik.net> 12/17/2008 5:39:57 PM Go to download.com, type in search, robotype. The first sentence states when it was first released and then further down it will tell the version number.

Re: RoboType program "TRCSr" <trcmail[ at ]intrstar.net> 12/20/2008 3:14:03 AM Thanks for the advice, but this also takes me to the PCMag site that will only work if I pay.
