- Where can I get form programmes? Are any included in Journal Six?
You can enter form programmes from the PASSAP Model Books and Duet Magazines into Journal Six for easy reference, but the software does not include a library of form programmes built-in. There are also some form books published by various authors. These sometimes come up for sale on eBay. There is a basic form programme generator available on this site.
Journal Six also supports a special kind of form programme called a chart. This is similar to the old Form 6 software. Basically, you draw a picture of the shape you want to knit in the sketchbook and then download it to the console. Please check the Journal Six Manual for more information on charts.
- Why do I get an error message when I start the program?
- You are most likely logged onto the computer as a regular user, not an administrator. Due to a bug in the installation process, you cannot write to the database unless you running with administrative rights. This will be corrected in a future version. In the meantime, be sure to either log into your computer as an administrator or fix permissions.
