Hmmmm.... I wonder why I couldn't open one of the files in DP X5.

Marilyn--phase of the moon? Curiosity beaming back its images? Gravitational shift?

Or perhaps the download didn't bit for bit copy/write.

Take care, Mike

Wow. Thanks to everyone for getting these to open... and thanks for making me realize I made a typo in the updated coat of arms. It's something that I worked on several years ago.

However, I must give credit where it's due. The drawings aren't really mine. I used Armorial Gold heraldry clip art to put them together. Really beautiful stuff. They also provided me with lists of the meanings of all of the colors, shapes, animals, and items) so I could build myself a coat of arms.

I used this in an English class as a warmup to get kids excited about doing some medieval literature. It worked! Until we started the literature. Hehe.

Anyway, thanks to all!

I cannot open my files that I created 2 years ago in an older version of drawplus. I've got a new machine now and installed a new DrawPlus Free version.
The files can be seen but they want open. It gives back with error message "this file doesn't seem to be a drawplus compatible file".
Can anyone of you help me? The mentioned files do have .Dpp extension.
Thanks a lot and greetings from Pamplona/Spain
