The CGFonts:PS/ directory is used by PPage. It has nothing to do with

CGFonts cannot be printed directly to a PostScript printer since they
are in a completely different format than PS fonts. Most PS printers
have 35 resident fonts (including Times and Helvetica [==Triumvirate])
so PageStream automatically changes all references to CGTimes to
the internal Times font in the PS printer. There's also a PS
version of Garamond supplied with PageStream (because most PS
printers don't have Garamond resident) which will be included
in PageStream's PS output.

As Post does not have any resident fonts you must either make sure
that you're using a font in Soft-Logik format or Garamond in CG 
format or you must supply the font in Adobe Type 1 format and
put it into Post's font path.

Does Art Expression have the ability to do font effects such as open cut?
(By open cut I mean that the font looks like it's an outline of the designed
face instead of being rendered normally.)  Or is open cut considered a
different kind of font (i.e., open cut helvetica is what I need)?

If Art Expression doesn't do this, is there something that does?  I also need
to bend this font around a circle...

Thanks,

Bummer.  How much stack space are you using?  doc2man works OK for me on

Well, I was impressed by the demo version, and (not having the benefit of
the above suggestion :-() I ordered a copy of DS 4.1, which came yesterday.
Tonight I installed it on my hard drive, and I can't seem to get it to use
my FPU (I have a 2620 board with 68881 math chip).  The manual talks about
there being "effectively" 4 versions - for 1.3 and 2.0, each with and without  
math chip support; and the demo had two of these versions (1.3 without FPU
and 2.0 with fpu), but I can find only one version of the program on the
three disks supplied, and it does not seem to be using the math chip.
Can anyone clue me in on how I can get DS to use the 68881?  Should I have
ordered a different "version" of the program?  Neither in the manual nor
among all the menus and requesters can I find anything that looks like
it enables FPU support.

Thanks for any assistance,

I like the "junk," myself - it helps you see what's what.  It would be *really*
cool if CBM would write a "ReqPrefs" that would let you specify whatever you
wanted in your standard file, font, etc. requesters.  It wouldn't be that
tough for them, and it would improve the customization without really damaging
the standardization - in fact it might help standardize people on the ASL
requesters if they liked them more.

Marc, the CONVERT program that comes with WordPerfect will convert programs
from WP4.2 to 5.1.  WordPerfect itself will save in 5.1, 5.0 or 4.2 format.
Programs like MultiDOS will allow you to transfer you Amiga formatted files
to IBM compatible format (remember WP files are binary not text).

I seem to recall when I did this years ago that I had no problem going back

It doesn't need to create big boards, the version of PADS I will use

Summary: What are we doing wrong?

My wife is trying to get her new GVP DSS 8 to work with VCLI.  We
read  the  docs,  and  know  about having to set the sampler from
within the DSS software.

What happens is this: she starts up DSS, and makes sure the input
is  set to MIC and that the gain is set to 8.  Then she exits DSS
and starts up VCLI. Then she presses the COMMAND button,  selects
the  NEW COMMAND menu, and enters the new command and presses the
return key.   The  Learning  -  xxxxxxxx  window  comes  up,  and
displays  a  message saying that it is ready to sample.  She then
clicks on the sample button,  and  speaks  into  the  microphone.
VCLI never responds.  The only way out seems to be rebooting.  Is
there a way to tell VCLI to stop  sampling?   Is  there  anything
that she is obviously doing wrong?  Thanks in advance.

Frank is correct: KingFisher's "Add Fish" command is designed for maximum
ease where adding new fish is concerned.  It will skip email headers and
similar "junk," extracting only what are legitimate descriptions.  While
the parser can probably be fooled, it is quite clever, if I may be so
boastful to make that claim. ;-)

The number of fish in the database is solely determined by the size of the
FishIndexFile (Fish.Index) -- if this file is not properly updated on disk
then KingFisher won't know about the added disks, even though they exist
in the datafile.  A 'Reindex' operation will detect and 're-add' these.

If KingFisher complains that it cannot save the Name Index (and gives a
name for that file in parentheses which is null) then you forgot to tell
the program the name of that file: edit the KingFisher.config file (most
likely in S:) and find the line
	NameIndexFile=
and change it to
	NameIndexFile=Name.Index
Model it after the line preceeding it (FishIndexFile) to get any possible
directory or volume path correct, and make sure your disk has about 30K of
space for that name index file.  More is needed as your database grows with
new disks being added.

Lastly, I have an admission to make: up through version 1.11 KingFisher has
trouble dealing with special characters in the upper half of the character
set (Umlaute, etc.)  This is due to a misunderstanding on my part about the
signed treatment of the C datatype 'char', and the fact that I have always
added my data from usenet announcements which do not contain these symbols.
	So far, I have heard from only two people who got stung by this
problem (maybe you, Dave, are a third?)  If I get enough requests (I'm
really asking for it this time!)  then I'll send out the fixed version,
otherwise I will only release a more significant version in late January.

Actually BME 1.1.2 is very stable on my system. I have enforcer and

I suspect DLGPro (is this a PD program?) or another program in your

If your Opus 4 upgrade was shipped to you by UPS, it could be
