    THANK YOU for sharing, Ernie.

    Without people like you, TalkGraphics would be more dead than it already is!

    Thank You Gary.

    A forum lives from it's members and we have the luck to have a bunch of expierence users like you and all the other older guys (me included by the older one).
    And isn't it fun to share his knowledge to the youngsters/beginners? We can't took it with us of the end.

    There's an old Scottish saying, "There are no pockets in shrouds".

    An to be brutally honest, I think I have more years behind me than in front of me.

    So why not share?

    In XAR file format, attached, is my person, hand-made collection of literary, typographic dividers. Several years ago, I found a bitmap, that I'm sure was 5 dpi, and lovingly hand-traced the art back to usability.

    Someone will either wipe it off my hard drive someday, or I'll use it again and again and do not mind in te least if someone else is using it. Call it a gift!


    I know it's been said many times, many ways...Merry Christmas!

    Yeah Gary,
    nice work on this. I had done a similar job in the beginning 1990ies. I got an old issue (maybe from the begining of the 19th century) with some nice ribbon frames.
    In this early days of DTP and Vector Graphics I use an Apple Classic and Freehand. My mistake was I saved it as Freehand-files and so they were stored on a CD and I thought „lost for ever”.

    After Your post with the dividers I remember my stored Freehand-files. But how to convert it to .xar?

    It tooks me some time to get the right way: the cheap and easy way is Scribus! Scribus on v. 1.5 can open .fh_xx files.
    And here they are. Feel free to use it for what you need it. Privat or commercial.
