Mike, Thanks for the help. Yes, they are Adobe Type 3 fonts. I will let you know which fonts I am trying to convert. Lee Scoggins Whap!(Registered) V1.9D–Some things are better left unsaid!
The problem I am having is that I don't know how to use the PostScript fonts from within PPage. I can't seem to get them to come up as aavailable in the font requestor.
#PPage & Post v1.4
Message #16680
I would like to be able to use Post v1.4 to process documents created on ProPage 1.3 (I'm still waiting for my free upgrade!) How do I get PPage to recognize the fonts that I want to use with Post? I have tried everything I can think of to no…

>I saw the On-Line Store ad in the November Issue of CompuServe's monthly >Magazine for a 9600 Baud External Modem for $169. Does anyone have this Gary, I don't have that issue of the magazine in front of me, so I'm not sure about the particular modem you are referring…
John, While in CIS check the section that lists CompuServe access numbers. That will tell you if there is a TYMNET number that is local to you. There is a surcharge of $2.00 per hour (I think that's right.) for accessing Tymnet. Lee Scoggins Whap!(Registered) V1.9b–Some things are better left…
>I don't know why you'd wait till evening in any event, CIS charges are >the same 24 hours a day. Don, This is true unless you are accessing CIS from Tymnet. The surcharge then jumps to about $10 per hour instead of $2 or $3. Lee Scoggins Some things are…
John, If you have the 1.3 drivers you can use the EpsonQ driver for the GSX-140. I have been using it for about 2 months now and it works perfectly. Lee Scoggins Maple City U.S.A.

Betty, Thanks for the reply. I had checked in Lib 4 before posting my message. I realized that I had put my original message in the wrong forum when I sent it, but it was too late to change it. Lee Scoggins Maple City U.S.A.
Supra Hardware Upgrade
Message #108826
I understand that there are some hardware upgrades on the Supra SCSI interface for the A500. Can anyone give me any details? Lee Scoggins Maple City U.S.A.
Betty, I have never had occasion to use this program. But, I have been told that SETCLOCK RESET will not alway find the battery backed clock. This program is for those occasions. // \X/ Lee Scoggins – "Too bad life doesn't come with instructions!"
Betty, I uploaded a small program in the AmigaArts Utilities section that will fix the problem with the battery backed clock. Lee 😉 // \X/ Lee Scoggins – "Too bad life doesn't come with instructions!"
Steve, What else can you tell me about this card? Does it use the internal or external Amiga drives for storage? Can you access a hard drive? Does it have the 512K Ram onboard? Cost? Sorry for this barrage of questions, but this sounds like just what I've been looking…
I missed the beginning of this thread. Are you referring to a "bridgeboard" type arrangement for the A500? // \X/ Lee Scoggins – "Too bad life doesn't come with instructions!"
Lou, I was very glad to see this reply to the previous message. AmigaWorld is DEFINITELY doing something right in my book. The last 4-5 issues have been packed with valuable information. I have given up on the other mags, including those with "valuable disks" because the content is drivel.…
Michael, I would strongly suggest that you look to a commercial program, such as Quarterback, for backing up your HD. My experience with the PD programs has not been good. In fact, one program trashed both partitions on my HD early on and I had to re-build the files from…
#BridgeBoard Information
Message #93045
I'm looking for some information on the AT BridgeBoard. With this BB is it possible to use a 3.5 disk drive, or are you still limited to the 5.25 drive? Is software pretty much compatable, or has anyone found software that will not run on this BridgeBoard? I could use…

HELP D/L PLEASE!!!!!
Message #87872
Also, Betty, I would suggest that any "novice" download "SID" the disk handling utility that is in the library. Once the proper utilities are in the C: directory all you have to do with SID is point and click. Nothing could be simpler. The same method works for reading text…
Undo does need the appropriate utilities in the C: directory. And, yes, it will undo nested directories, creating the proper directories and placing the files in them. Really works slick. Lee 😉
There is a program call AMGIF that will convert IFF format to GIF. It is packaged together with a program called HAMGIF that is used to view GIF files on the Amiga. The name of the file is GIFFILES.ZOO that I have in storage. I would suspect that it is…
Richard, After I sent the message it dawned on me that contigous memory was the problem. I did run PixelScript after interupting startup with no problem. Also, I did use only one font. I used three different sizes of that font stule (Roman) because I was doing a layout for…
Whap! crashes
Message #86655
I'm not sure, but it sounds like the slowness of response was on CompuServe, and had nothing to do with Whap!, itself. I have experienced the same type of thing at times when the traffic online is especially heavy. As for lost messages, that sounds like you are expecting the…
#PxS Memory Drain
Message #28056
I have an Amiga 500 with 1 meg of Ram and a hard drive. I am having problems running PixelScript due to running out of memory. Tonight I tried to print an 11.5K file that was all text and ran into the same problem. The file contained one font in…
Justin, I have PixelScript and have been able to get limited use from it. I have 1 meg of memory which causes some limitations. If I use more than one font or include any graphics I run out of memory. I have a hard drive which uses more memory than…
