Subject: Dynamic Studio / Music Software
Summary: Looking for upgrade
Organization: California State University Sacramento
Date: Sat, 5 Sep 1992 21:55:53 GMT


Hello all, I have version 2.2 of Dynamic Studio which was made by a company
called NewWave Software.  This version was just one short of the last version
that NewWave produced before they died as a company.  What I think that is
missing from my release are some examples (ie:music and sequence files).  I
am looking for anyone who has the program that could help me out using the
program or could send me copies of the missing files.  I called the old number
of NewWave and the person who I talked to was very reluctant to talk so I did
not get a chance to find out where I could get a copy of the upgrade they
offered.  The programer's name is Chris Moulios and was from Michigan.

I feel the program was great and want to make some use of it.  Thanks.

Neither(?).  Do you have the Type 1 typefaces that you used in your document
in your PSfonts: directory?  If not, and you don't want to buy them from Adobe:

1) Use CMD to re-route your printer's output (i.e. parallel port) to a temporary
   directory or PSfonts:.  Check your system software manual for details.
2) Use SWDownload to download your Nimbus Q typefaces to the temporary 
   directory.
3) Rename the output typefaces to their proper Postscript names.
4) Move them to PSfonts:.

Voila!  You now have Postscript typefaces built into your Post v1.7 interpreter!

If the above procedure doesn't work, then it COULD be that all your typefaces
aren't in your SWOLfonts/ directory.  Older (<1.3.2?) versions of Final Copy
had trouble finding typefaces in directories other than SWOLfonts/, e.g.
SWOLfonts/Cheltenham/, so ALL your typefaces had to be lumped together in
SWOLfonts/.  If you're using v1.3.2, you should not be experiencing this 
problem.

If none of the above applies, it could be one of the few (~2%) the times that
the generated Postscript file just isn't supposed to print--apparently, I've
been told that Postscript was put together hurriedly and isn't perfect.  If
this is the case, simply reprint the document from Final Copy, and send it
through Post.

 Requirements are Amiga DOS 2.0 (respective KS 2.0), at least 1 MB RAM
 (the more, the better) and 8 MB space on the Hard Drive (requiered!)

 The speed is quite nice, a turbo-card is recommended though.
 Grafik-Output is really well done, even the Postscript part is fine.
 Compared to Maple on a Sparc unde X11 , the Amiga-Version is even a bit better,
 because the Amiga-specials (Gadgets) are used, also the Grafik-Output is
 color per default.

 Before you flood my Mail-Box, please ask you local University. Mostly they
 have a site-license for Maple on most systems, even including Amiga.

Date: 9 Sep 92 00:39:44 GMT
Organization: ENSCO, Inc., Melbourne, FL

I am running Pagestream v2.2 on an A2500/30 under AmigaDOS 2.0.  The program runs
smoothly and creates very nice output on my HP Deskjet printer.  I have been unable
to produce color output for my old Okimate 20 printer.  When I attempt to use the
STOkimateC driver, the printer neither goes into graphics nor color mode.  I tried
to use the Preferences driver with the preferences set up for the Okimate printer,
but appearently the preferences (Amiga side) got mixed up with Pagestream's
settings and the text and graphics on the page were not correct.  The Okimate
printer itself is set up correctly as I can use several utilities to print
color IFF screen dumps. 

As an alternative, I tried to create an IFF file using the IFFILBM printer driver.
Pagestream created a file, but none of my viewers could read it and/or display
anything but a blank screen.

I have not been able to find any specific documentation on these drivers or any
special requirements they may have.  Any pointers would be most appreciated.

By the way, how much is FinalCopy II to buy outright.  I got FinalCopy here in the UK
on grey import for aprox $85 US.  There's an advert in October's Amiga Format for the
'Official UK' version of FC II from Gordon Harwood, SoftWood's UK distributor for 
UKP99.95 or thereabouts.  Luckily they are offering a half proce upgrade for PenPal
and FinalCopy I users.

Final Copy which adds several new features (including structured

For the first time in the history of the Amiga, developers are

Well, at least there is one application here that does the heck of a good job
driving the DeskJet: PageStream! I have never ever been disapointed by its
output, and it is definitely positionning the page right, so that you really
get what you wanted. True though, it uses a custom driver, but it is nice

Or you could grab PowerPacker Patcher off one of the Fish disks (not
too far back).  This program patches dos.library i/o functions to make
reading PowerPacked data files (those that start with the 'PP20'
longword) transparent to applications.  Once you run the patcher, any
app can read a PP file without ever knowing it's a PP file.

This is one problem that DJ Helper solves.  The later version of the DeskJets
(the DJ500 for sure, and I think the + as well) support graphics compression. 
Unfortunately, Commodore's driver does not allow you to set use this mode
whereas DJ Helper does.  You will get significantly faster output if you use
the compressed modes.
