Does anybody out there know about any TeX or LaTeX version for the GS?
I remember a french program called "minitex"? placed in PD/Shareware,
but that was about 3 years ago.
So if you can help me with any hints feel free to reply.

Hmmm, while not everything you've done matches, I'd suggest you go into your
FONTS directory (and remove ALL of the BITMAPPED FONTS). Then see what
happens. If the problem is what I suspect you'll find that one of the
bitmapped fonts is bad and is the source of your problems. I've seen this on
several GS's now, and have no explanation for it. In at least two of the cases
the bitmapped font in question was generated by Pointless.

I'm not so sure!  I used GSCII+ to  extract mine and I had the same problem

Sorry, but Apple's not willing to promise that no future ShutDown function
isn't going to have parameters.

More importantly, though, Apple's not willing to promise that the system
won't patch out the ROMs looking for calling "xxxShutDown" from a specific
address.  That might be a compact way to fix a bug in ROM, and a tail-
patch would break it.  (Jay Krell, if he's listening, is a good person to
talk about tail patching as he's put a lot of thought into it.)

Suggestion:  You'd probably spend at least $400 of your own time trying
to make this work.  Write a program for someone else with your time and
use the money to buy a hard drive.

The Apple2 directory on avalanche was created (by me) about two years ago

It's around somewhere.  It's kind of a vicious implementation because it
tends to soak the CPU, which isn't a good thing to do on a UNIX system.

If you are missing some sounds, you may have a conflict with a DA or CDev.
I know that it is not a good idea to run the Sound CDev and Sonics at the
same time because Sonics is not very friendly... it will simply make a sound
instead of the Sound CDev, due to the nature of the program, which I do not

D)  No one likes me.
E)  See "D". 
 
Please help me out here.  I have some really valid questions here.
(God what I whiner I sound like, eh?  I just read what I wrote...)
 
Anyway, what is the best sampling rate for different instruments?
(is their a set standard that all the "pros" use?  [referring to

Also, is there any way I can "tune" my instruments so that when I

I am getting the same $1104 error too.  I thought I was just me, or
something to do with my System 6.

If there isn't any software on the DOS 3.3 disk, or the disk is old
and isn't being read properly, then it isn't unusual for the 'boot'
proccess to quit, leaving the drive running.

When the disk is running, it should turn at a constant speed.  If 
it doesn't, try inserting a different disk to check and see if 
the disk is at fault.  Some floppies can get compressed if some-
thing heavy (books) are left on them.  You can try and fix a
compressed floppy by grasping the disk firmly and scraping the
edges lengthwise across the corner (lip) of a table.  Do this a
couple of times for each of the 4 disk edges.


If the drive is old, then the rubber drive belt could be streched
a little.  Try booting several disks to insure that it is the
drives fault, and not just a bad floppy.

If you can get ahold of a copy, you really should use a program
like Copy ][+, Nibbles Away, or LockSmith.  Speed test utilities
are built in and will place markers on a blank disk and use this
to measure the drive speed while it is turning.  I know this assumes
that you have at least one good drive, but have a friend check
your drive for you if your one-and-only drive is bad.

If you drive is too slow, or too fast, the speed can be adjusted
using a small plastic screewdriver.  Located on the top controller
card (near the rear as I recall) is a small rectangular component
with a screw head on one end.  By turning the screw, you change 
the resistance of the component, and this causes the motor to run
either faster or slower.  Use a disk utility that shows the drive
speed, and then turn the screw until the drive is in the optimum
range.  If the drive can't hold a constant speed, you'll know
right away by watch the indicator.

I hope this is of some help.  Good luck.

No!  I just got my nice little Apple CD-ROM 150 today, hooked it up to my
Apple Rev C. SCSI and haven't had any problems (not even anything I could
attribute to SCSI cabling problems; strange....).  For a IIgs (I assume you
DO have a GS..), you should have the HFS FST and ISO9660 FST loaded and 
enabled.  If you're using the Apple card, you need Apple's SCSI drivers
loaded (not those that came with the RamFast) and the Apple CD-ROM driver
loaded.  If you want to play audio disks, you should also load the media
control tools, control panel, and NDA (but you probably knew that seeing
as you were able to play audio disks.....).  Oops!  Almost forgot, you
need system 6.0 to read HFS disks.  I believe older versions will read
the ISO9660 disks but the disks that come with d e v e l o p and a number
of other Mac CD-ROM's are HFS format.  Some of the older d e v e l o p
magazine disks had both ProDOS and HFS partitions.  As to the RamFast,
it supposedly will support the Apple CD-ROM drives without any trouble.  You
would need to make sure that you are using the RamFast drivers and the Apple
drivers are disabled.  You may need an upgrade to your RamFast ROM's.  You
will almost definitely need the FST's loaded.  Hope this info helps!  (And
anyone else reading this: please let me know if I got something wrong...)
