Subject: GPFAX and 6x SupraFAX
Date: 22 Aug 92 05:58:31 GMT
Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder


I am having problems with my new A3000 / FAX setup.  I have an A3000 with an
A2232 Multi-serial board and 6 (yes, six) Supra FAX Modems.  I am having two
seperate problems.

1)  Software:  GPFax, a great program, but it will not allow more than one
               copy of itself to be run at once.  I have tried filezapping
               to change all identifying names, but it still finds itself.

2)  Hardware:  A2232 board seems to work fine, but it seems to crash the
               A3000 quite regularily with a 8000 0004 Guru.  Usually during
               hard disk access.  (Do they interfere?)  Can I up the HD
               filesystem priority?  Any hardware jumpers?  Other ideas?

     Any help would be greatly appreciated.  All hardware and software is
brand-new, A3000-25/100, A2232, A1960 Monitor, 1 Supra v.32bis connected to
standard serial port.  5 Supra FAX Modem Plus's connected to A2232.
2.0 loads (kickstarts) from HD, and reboots to start.
     I am trying to operate all six FAXmodems at once to "blast FAX"
time-sensitive documents to a large group of clients before the information
is out of date.  Thanks in advance, EMail greatly appreciated.

I've just acquired an Amiga with Toaster 2.0 and Broadcast Titler.

Does anyone out there have experience with the Toaster and BT who would be
willing to gleen some of their experiences and solutions to basic problems
on me.  I'm a Mac user (apologies to anyone who is offended) and the Amiga

I could use some 'human' solutions to my simple problems!

No page breaks?!?!?!?!?  I thought ProPage was the one catching up all the

There isn't a real PageBreak feature in PageStream yet. What I did with the
manual I wrote was to break the text flow at the chapter boundary. However,
doing the fine text editing in PageLiner is MUCH simpler than export/import
from excellence! (which I've also used).

  Hmmm.  No wonder nobody could find it.  What is wrong with this directory?

Take a look at our server ftp.uni-mainz.de. In the directory pub/amiga/arc

I can't figure out how to do page breaks with PS.

I'm importing a 75 page booklet that needs page breaks at the end of
TOC, chapter headings, etc.  I can individually adjust the text boxes to
make the breaks appear were needed, but this will screw things up when
text is added or removed anywhere in the document.  If I break the text
flow, I can keep chapters, etc. separated but that makes it difficult to
export or re-import the text to excellence.

I suspect that DTPers tend to treat page breaks differently.  Any hints
will be appreciated.

It seems aimed more at hand scanners, but might work with the
flatbeds.  I intend to ask them about that when I send in my
warranty card.  I called Sharp for info on their JX-320 and should
hear from them soon.

In the meantime, I think I need to enlarge my FAX.iff
files/pictures so OCR can cope with the print size.  How do I go
about doing this?  Is it possible?  I have ADPro and some of the
paint programs it they would help.

You also need the flag in your console spec that says which menus you

CNC:MENU#MyMenu

in env:shellwindow (or wherever you specify what window wshell uses).

I had this very same problem.  The solution is to either type "compress -d"
or to make a copy (or a link) of compress and call it uncompress.  I do the
later (a copy) because it's easier and I don't have 2.0 yet.

I'm using a canon BJ-10 printer with Final Copy. Output looks
great except that Final Copy prints several pages with a
few "0" characters in the upper left corner of each page
before it actually prints the document. Then every page with
my text on it has a few "0" characters in the upper left hand
corner. When my document is finished printing Final Copy
insists on doing a few formfeeds with each page having had a
line of "0"s printed in the upper left hand corner.

It waste's lots of paper and makes the printed document useless.

I am using the canon48.020 printer driver on an A3000/25.

All of my other applications print fine.

Any ideas?

 When you say you selected a suitable printer driver, do you mean a 
 preferences printer driver? If so, this is you problem. IntroCAD does 
 not use the preferences drivers.
 
 IntroCAD uses it's own custom printer driver which requires you to set 
 up a printer definition file for your printer. This file basically 
 contains the escape codes your printer uses for graphics printing and 
 some other information.

 Once you the above file written the output of IntroCAD is GREAT!

Has anyone succeeded to create EPS-files from PageStream 2.2HL?
Mr. Davidson revealed here for a while ago that the newest postscript 
driver is able to do that if the "special" gadget has 'eps' in it, but at 
least the version I have (2.2.5) doesn't work (it creates just a regular
"%!PS-Adobe-2.0" file, identical to a file printed without eps in the 
gadget). So, is there a newer version of the driver available, or am I 
missing something else, like a keyword? (pstype=eps or something like 
that...)

PS. I still haven't been able to get PPage's CG and PS fonts to work 
properly/at all with PageSteam... Do I really have buy the very same 
fonts twice? (Sigh)

     QB 5.02 seems to work quite well.  I haven't tried to restore a file
yet, too busy.  5.01 was so buggy it was unuseable, 5.02 worked just fine,
never crashed, never glitched, while I was backing up files.  I have no reason
to suspect that it doesn't work.

You could try to create faxes in fine mode and look if it happens
again. Also, don't forget to set the scan-resolution (which is
normally in the file, but not if saved with GPFax) to 200, 300 or 400
DPI using the F7-key. Migraph's OCR is running well here with
fine-faxes from GPFax.
