ABF System Cards
The ABF Convention Card Editor download comes
courtesy of Lee Edwards' Convention Card Utility program.
Windows Version (see below for Macintosh users). Vista users should read
the note below before commencing the installation.
ABF Convention Card Editor Version 6.3.20.1: ABFInstall.exe
(1.9MB) Updated on June 1, 2007.
Click on the ABFInstall.exe link above to download the editor.
It is recommended that you uninstall old versions of the program before
installing the new version.
Initial Installation : Clicking on the ABFInstall.exe link above will
begin download of a self extracting program file. Select a directory where you
would like to store the installation program. When downloaded, locate
ABFInstall.exe in Explorer and double click on it to install the ABF Convention
Card Editor.
To run the ABF Convention Card Editor program, go to the Start menu, then
Programs - ABF Convention Card Editor (ABFCard.exe) or run the program from the
ABF Convention Card Editor 
icon on the Desktop.
The ABF System Card Editor creates two files with an extension of .0a2. e.g.
Smith-Jones.0a2
Smith-Jones_.0a2
Note that the names of the files are identical apart from the underscore.
These files are located in the Austr2 sub-directory under the directory where
the ABF System Card Editor software was installed on your computer.
Printing Tip
To print the ABF Convention Card on a full A4 page, and avoid the need to
trim the edges and have a little extra space for details, use these settings:
..
in Printing Options...
set..
Print Width = 372
Print Height = 214
Front Left Margin = 6
Back Left Margin = 6
...and "Save Settings".
Brown Stickers
If you are using Brown Sticker conventions and wish to have two circles on your
card you can do so by editing the .0a2 file. Using a text editor, e.g. Notepad,
replace this line:
16,12577,1537,462,1,7,"",0
with these two lines:
16,12277,1387,312,1,7,"",0
16,12707,1717,312,5,0,"",0
Thanks to Rex Livingston for these tips.
Vista users
Vista users may experience problems when saving their cards so are advised to
install the AFB Convention Card Editor directly into the C:\ drive, that is,
C:\ABF Convention Card Program. Also, because the Windows Help program is not
shipped with Vista they will need to download and install WinHlp32.exe from the
Microsoft Download Center. The link for this is:
