Problem

Symptoms: He receives a "Divide Overflow" message any time he tries to bring in a PCX file from PC Paintbrush and the graphic never comes in. After pressing a key, it appears that the graphic has been brought in. However, when he enters the graphics edit screen, he receives the "Divide Overflow" message again and the graphic is not there. Solutions: This problem has been fixed in the release date 03/30/90. In the 01/19/90 and earlier releases, WP assigned a resolution value when other package's conversions weren't correct. The WP program assumed there was a mistake and covered for it. In the 03/30/90 release, this was changed and the values were interpreted "as is." This means that a lot of files will suddenly be giving error messages when they are retrieved. WP is aware that customers would like an option for using their values, or letting WP assign them. However, because a structure change in the program would be needed, it may not be possible to implement this until the next version of WP.
