Well, I finally figured out how to use HeroMaker on my MAC...
But first a little background.

A friend of mine had bought softwindows to play the various Star Wars games.
He then found out that the program had no sound support AND only emulated a
286! He then put the program on his shelf, where it languished until recently
when I recieved Champions Deluxe w/Heromaker. He gave me the program (!) and
I installed it on it's own Zip Cartridge. I installed the software (man, what
a pain to use windos (Spelling intentional)), and swiftly found out that my
emulated printer (Epson LQ-2500) was not supported directly. I proceeded to
try ALL the epson drivers and found that none of them work, so then I tried
the last driver (Star NX-1000) on a hunch and found that it did work. And now
I can print...

So, for those of you an a MAC system with Softwindows and Heromaker (using a
$200+ program to run a $25 Program) this is my setup:

Setup --> PC Printer Port in softwindows itself set the fonts (Proportional
and Mono Spaced) to a Mono Spaced font like Monaco (I use OCRB). Set the Page
Setup to 97% size )This prvents the cut-off at the very bottom of the page
that a lot of users are experiencing. This gives me a very nice printout that
made Sean Fannon quite miffed, as he STILL can't get his Epson inkjet to
print correctly.

BTW- What's the deal with automatons? It gets all messed up when I print
and/or save and reopen.

Well, for now I will be using Heromaker to print and calc my Villians and
NPCs, and will be using Excel to do my PCs

PS: Ya ever notice that MAC users are like HERO gamer in the way they defend
their respective systems?
