Visitor, The simplest way is to plot them with a wider pen. Gale

Dennis, I also like the extra screen area and haven't used a screen menu for a couple of years. On the osnap setting… in nearly all of my lisp routines I manage osnap according to what I want to snap to and set it with (setvar "osmode" nn). I've made…

Evan, The last time I talked to one of their main UNIX people, he was running back and forth to Europe. Maybe they're pushing for that market. Gale

Gerald, I bought a RAM tester a little over a year ago when I was having problems and I'd like to sell it for a bargain, $90.00. My problems turned out to be the external cache. If you're interested, leave E-Mail or call (409)834-2379 and I'll send the box anywhere…

Peter, Do you just want to know how I revised the font? I uploaded SIMPLEX.shx here in 1987 and due to the 6 character limitation imposed by CIS it was shortened to SIMPLE. I can upload the .shp file if you like. Gale

Mark, The "bone of contention" is simply that Autodesk is just about to *finally* ship R11 for SCO UNIX and is ignoring SCO XENIX. My operating system "upgrade" will cost me more than the AutoCAD upgrade and the money is just the start of the cost. SCO UNIX is more…

Wayne, I struggled with this over a year ago and you will probably find the problem is not limited to the rotate command. My fix was to disable "external cache" in 'setup' or CMOS. The machine took a very slight performance hit but that was minor compared to lockups. One…

Pierre, I'm a steel detailer and when I first started with AutoCAD my first priority was to write a font with fractions. The easiest way to accomplish this was to just add to the Simplex font file. The next step was a Lisp routine to convert my decimal input in…

Dave, And if the MONOTXT look is unacceptable, Tom should download MONOSIMP from somewhere in the DL's. I modified the Simplex font several years ago to a fixed space format. Gale

Mark, I'm very sorry if my reply to you appeared hostile. I meant it to be only informational. My disappointment with the way Autodesk is treating the Xenix issue is spilling over into my typing. Gale

Bill, Thanks for YOUR support!! Always glad to meet another 'convert'. Gale
#21669 #ACAD for Xenix Message #21821
From: Gale Gorman Autodesk AutoCAD Forum · OpSystms/Networks November 25, 1991 6:44 AM
Bill, I switched to Xenix shortly after Autodesk released a version ported for it and I've become known since as the resident Xenix "evangelist" but that has not had any influence at all on Autodesk' decisions. I've jumped on each new release since version 2.5 just as soon as each…

Mark, From Xenix if I do a "doscp" (DOS copy) to send a Xenix ASCII file to a DOS box, Xenix adds "^M" for each . When I receive an ASCII file with all of those messy ^M's, they don't make any difference to Xenix but I use a global…
