Hi David,
I hope all is well with you.
I noticed that you posted a great question to MG that Jens answered. Part
of Jens' response was:
"But you can simply
load the help notebook into a Mathematica 4.0 and save
it. The main consequence of the "feature" is that one has
to use the oldest Mathematica version (best Mathematica 3.0) to
edit/save Help notebooks."
I took this to mean simply open up the notebook created by a newer version
and then save it in your older version of Mathematica.
I've done this a few times to several notebooks that were announcing that
they had been created by a newer version of Mathematica. It worked ! But
I have a problem with some additional warning messages that I get every
time I load the kernel. They appear in a little box on the bottom left
of the screen and read:
On::none: Message General::spell not found.
On::none: Message General::spell1 not found.
DeclarePackage::aldec:
Symbol WriteDXF in DeclarePackage[Utilities`DXF`, {PolygonsOnly, WriteDXF}]
has already been declared.
Now, I have installed a few applications/packages on top of Mathematica like
DrawGraphics, TensorCalculus, MathGL3D, MathPNG, some of which add things to the help browser, and some of which were written on Mathematica 4 .1
(I have version 4 on Windows 2000). Also, I have found in the Autoload/Utilities
folder a file called DXF.m which appears to be referenced in
the warning messages but I don't want to simply remove it as a solution.
I would much rather try and understand what the conflict is. Do you have any
thoughts as to what might be causing the above error messages and how I
could prevent them from occuring?
Keep up the great postings!
