I can't remember if it's in the General settings submenu but somewhere there is a slot where you can change the default slot used by JRComm. My bet would be that you have a font there that's not on your system and JRComm is trying to look elsewhere. When it…
ProWrite PS pure?
Message #105264
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if ProWrite outputs an encapsulated or pure PostScript output? I was going to take a PS file up to a print shop and have them print it and they asked the above and I didn't know. Thanks for your help. -Sean
Thanks for catching that, Joanne. -Sean
Chris, I did the same thing and found I have a newer version than the 'update' too. [WB 2.1] -Sean
Hello Sean, Actually I like it pretty much here. It will be really interesting going back to the States though. -Sean
Rob, I don't know how it does it but it works. I would imagine that they both make tones of some kind initially. In fact after sitting here listening to a few incoming faxes I've heard a beep of some sort alternating on and off every second or so. -Sean
Hello Rob, The silent answer somehow listens in without picking up and if it doesn't hear the correct fax tones it drops the line and if it does it picks up. -Sean
Hello Lu, I'm just paraphrasing Byte and don't really have enough knowledge to comment one way or the other except to say that the shape didn't change between the '020 and '030. -Sean
Hello Sean, Yes, it does look kinda funny on the top and the bottom. I call the US home but am now living in England. How about yourself? -Sean
Don, Sorry to be so imprecise, if the processor number divided by ten yields an odd number then it was supposed to be a minor step forward. -Sean
Clark, If you don't get any other offers within a couple of days I could put it together and upload it here. If I didn't have to make a long distance call I'd do it right now, oh well. -Sean
No problem, John. -Sean
#SupraFAX Profile Needed!
Message #103591
John, You can issue an AT &F command which should reload all the registers to the factory default. Then an AT Z should get you hooked up correctly. -Sean
Lu, I read (in Byte)that the reason that Motorola is skipping the '050 is because they use odd numbered extensions for minor changes and even for radical changes. (Pardon any errors in phrasing.) -Sean
Hello Sean, This is a quote from 'Zen and the Art of the Internet': The FidoNet computer networkcan be reached by using a special addressing method. If John Smith is on the node '1:2/3.4' on FidoNet, his or her email address would be 'john.smith@p4.f3.n2.z1.fidonet.org' (notice how the numbers fall in…
Reinhard, Did you recently upgrade from an earlier version of GPFax? You might have forgotten to update the printer driver as well. I have version 2.21 of GPFax, where did you get 2.3? Thanks. -Sean
Thanks, Wayne. I'll drop them a line and see what they say. -Sean
Michael, I actually just got MetaFont the other night and have it installed, it's seems to be running out of memory though. I'm still fiddling off and on. I actually got it (TPP) to give me an error besides couldn't lock last night. Maybe I should drop the author a…
#TeXtPlusProfessional
Message #102290
Hello, I was wondering if anyone here uses TeXtPlusProfessional with PasTeX. I'm attempting to but every time I go to preview a document or compile or print (I'm trying to do this with the .tpp format doc file that came with the distribution) I get a message saying that it…
Wayne, I have a FFV1. Where did you trade for a FFV2? Thanks. -Sean
James, I had a similar problem when my FFV board started to work itself loose. It just needed reseating and worked fine after that. You might check to see if any chips need reseating. -Sean
Mike, Check in your Libs: directory to make sure you have any iffparse.library in it and then use 'version iffparse.library' to check which version it is. If it's not the version required check out the OS installations disks that (I assume) came with your computer to see if there's more…
Clark, I wonder if anyone else is interested in it. I would just upload it but I'm long distance to Reading and would run the phone bill up a bit. However if anyone else wants it I'll put it up here. I found it at wuarchive.wustl.edu in /systems/amiga/utilities/text/utils.
Clark, I d/led PasTeX the other day from the Internet. It's not commercial. I haven't got it up and running yet though. I'm having a few problems with fonts (I don't think I have them all and they need to be generated. Any help anyone? ) and haven't gotten it…
Danny, Oh well, that was the extent of my expertise, such as it is. Hope you work things out. -Sean
Kevin, It made quite a difference to me going from my 9 pin too! Glad things worked out. -Sean
Danny, It might be that your printer head is overheating and is taking time to cool down before carrying on. -Sean
Mike, Thanks for the tip. I have v3.2. -Sean
Mike, Thanks for filling me in. I don't do any DTP so am not familiar with most of the capabilities of them. I wonder if I can save as PostScript with my copy of ProWrite. I'll have to take a look at the manual. -Sean
Brian, You might take a gander at Physics Today. They usually have lots of ads for rack mounted equipment. Maybe you could find a rack shell from one of them. -Sean
Ron, There's a program in the libraries here called Post that will translate PostScript code to graphics and dump it to a non-PostScript printer so you can use your program if you reroute your program output to a file (with CMD) and then use Post on the file. -Sean
No problems here. -Sean
Terry, What you want to do with your ATS0 (that's a zero, BTW, not an 'oh') = n command is put a number between 1 and 255. For example ATS0=4, your modem will then answer on the fourth ring (5 for the fifth ring, etc.). -Sean
Paul, Maybe C= is trying to eek a few dollars more out of all the 1200 purchasers. "Send us $25 with your proof of purchase (of course) and we'll send you the new drivers." -Commodore (Lurkers, they didn't really say that.) -Sean
I actually have an LQ-510. I like it just fine, it's light years ahead of my old (bought in '88 or so) Panasonic nine pin. The only thing that bothers me and I'm sure (or relatively so) that I just haven't figured it out yet is that I don't know…
Paul, I think you're right about C= getting on the ball. They even mentioned datatypes in the manual and then went on to say that they were only for use with 3.0. What's up with that? I don't think it was written to be a common manual between the two…
Paul, Those monitor drivers came with the 2.1 upgrade that I recieved the other day. Didn't everyone get them? -Sean
Ian, Do you have the PAL monitor in the monitors drawer? Can you select from your preferences a PAL mode after rebooting (after doing the first step that is)? Am I making sense? Is this any help? -Sean
Oh well, I'm using ProWrite for a WP. Wish I could help. Maybe it's some setting in Final Copy itself?
Pete, Thanks for the hint on possible people in the area. I had no idea! The few local (relatively speaking) BBS's are all PC oriented and if there have been Amiga folks on them it hasn't shown. I'll drop John a line tonight to see if he can help. -Sean
Betty, Thanks for the offer. I live in Adderbury, north of Oxford and south of Banbury. I really would love finding some knowledgable Amigites around here. -Sean
Michael, Thanks for filling me in. -Sean
Kevin, I'm using EpsonQPlus.020 with my LQ-510 and it seems to be working alright. I got it from the printer drivers library in AmigaUser. -Sean
Paul, It's in AmigaArts lib 14 under ifxdem.dms. I d/led it the other day mostly just to see what all the fuss was about among the image processing folks, I'm not really interested in using or buying it. There were a couple of files that came with it that had…
Laurie, The only problem is, as far as I know, there aren't any Amiga clubs in the vicinity. -Sean
Michael, You probably don't know, but I'll ask anyhow; do you know the difference between v1.4 and v1.5? I just d/led v1.4 last week (bummer). -Sean
Angel, No problem. It's pretty uncomplicated.
Pete, Thanks for the tip I'll pass yours to my friend as well as Betty's suggestion. -Sean
Betty, Thank you very much for your recomendation. I'll pass it on Monday. -Sean
Angel, I just checked on it, as soon as you click on the Ok gadget in the Random requestor it should be saving the config to s:dark_random.cfg. It's working on my V1.4. I wonder what's up? -Sean
