Just when we loyal users thought that NBI might be
at least slightly out of the woods (NB4 actually
delivered and all), I received the following
message about the competition.  From my perspective,
as a non-Lingua user, this looks like a very
deadly blow.  I've tried to make inroads for
NB vis a vis the WordPerfect monopoly on campus.
No one is interested in the differences in
interface, they see NB as different (and hence
necessarily worse) than the program they are
familiar with.  The only thing that has
attracted attention at all is the NB "add ons"
Ibid and Orbis/Textbase because they provided an
obvious benefit that wasn't available in WP.
Unless the program outlined below involves some
sort of corporate arrangement between WP and NBI
(many moons ago I seem to remember a copy of Wings
which suggested that DF was going to develop a version
of Ibid for use with WP), they can kiss that
market goodbye.

Allan Needell reports complete success with having copied the
separator tables that he had inserted into the NB3.1 default.set
file into nbcustom.set in NB4. Regrettably, I must report the
exact opposite experience. Having done the same thing, with the
benefit of Steve Seibert's online instructions, for the French
separator table which I use in 3.1, I find that it does not work
at all -- whether it is put at the end of NBCUSTOM.SET or whether
it is loaded as an independent file.

Has anyone succeeded in getting the French speller to work by
using a customized separator table?

Oh I am SO happy that someone has found the uppercase lowercase commands, as
those were three of my favorites on NB2.  I was even thinking, as I tried to
customize my keyboard, of adding the old NB2 commands to those keys.  I'm
glad I didn't.  Right now, I'm trying to figure out what was responsible for
that enormous fiasco.  But while we're at it, can the old nb2 commands, at
least some of them, some of the simpler ones, be utilized?  "rl" for instance
removes the line.  From right to left margin in NB2.  It's not the same as
the command for deleting the sentence.  I was overly eager.  I edited my
copied nb.kbd and nblingua.kbd in nb4, forgetting to evoke the /x command
when calling and storing.  I think this is what screwed me up.  Paul was
right: lingua corrupts the file, I think.  Jerry was right: do it in ASCII.
Or disable the character expansion.  Because what happened, after I
loaded my newly edited files (basically rewriting them to NB4) was that
I couldn't get the F9 key to work.  I'd evoke a directory, the cursor
would leap down to the first character of the list of files and nothing
would get it back up again.  I had to turn the machine off.  Characters
would type, but the more complicated commands were frozen or confused.
It was horrible.  I had a very sweaty moment.  FORTUNATELY, I had made
extra copies which were standing by in the event that such a general
failure would occur.  Now I made these copies in notabene.  Was that a
mistake?  I didn't edit them, when reinstated, the program seems to work
as well as it did before except for a few scary things: I'm getting a
"general failure" sign (or was) when I ask for screen customizations
like shift F4 that would flicker on for a while and then the program
would kick in.  And when I went to save something on my b-drive, I got
the "general failure" sign in earnest, and I had to do a savedef to the
a-drive.  I suspect it's the diskette (five and a quarter)-- I HOPE--
and not the program.  But what does that mean-- "general failure"--
short of instant death?

And have I damaged the delicate wings of this dragonfly by overwriting
and over-overwriting my keyboards?  Or is NB4 simply demonstrating more
of its customary crotchety self?--

Don't get me wrong; unlike Janice I'm not yet ready to ask for my money
back.  And the scolding missives last week to the contrary, I DO value
this complicated and wonderful new beast and find many good things to
praise in it.  I was merely hysterical last week.  I still am, a little,
because it's important to me to be able to type comfortably on my own
keyboard.

Will keep y'all posted--

I was a protagonist in the overflow saga a few months ago.  It's not
necessarily a Gateway thing.  To sum up:

on NB 3.x, be sure that if you use _either_ c: or d: (or whatever your
RAM disk letter is) you put the backslash (root) sign after "x,"
after the appropriate two-letter code (I forget which it is now);
I haven't looked into this in NB4.

be sure your RAM disk, if you use one, is big; I was locking up at 512K,
and switched to 1M (I bought PCKwik in order to have large RAM disk and
cache share memory).

Alt-space non-breakable space dot where necessary, and then reindex your

the reindex (presumably by noting the different dates on the index files and

I have no problem looking up umlauts, Ibid even knows that a" is the
same as A".  I have a non-Lingua NB4.  The problem may be related to the fact
that Lingua handles those characters in a way different from plain NB and, I
guess, Ibid.  Itamar discussed this problem a few weeks ago on this list.  Or
maybe just reindexing would help.

Subject:      underdotted b
Comments: To: NOTABENE%taunivm.BITNET@Virginia.EDU
Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

I have tried both methods described here for the benefit of the
person who wishes to see on his screen the underdotted b and to
have it printed as such on his document. Neither of them shows me
an underdotted b on the screen. Yes, I am in NBLingua. True, when
I use the CTRL-0 solution suggested and on going into expanded
mode, I see the ULUD command, showing me that something should
happen when I print (I haven't). In the case of the compose-key
solution, I see the letter b follow by a left-pointing arrow atop
a period. A hex dump, reveals that what I see as a two-character
sequence on screen, is in reality a four-byte sequence consisting
of the hex values 62 255 1B 44. (Until now, I have seen mention
here of three- but not four-byte sequences to represent
characters on screen.) In any case, neither representation is, I
believe, the solution desired by the inquirer (whose posting I
must have erased).

I would suggest that the person try to identify a file in his NB4
directory which bears the suffix .FNT and a date stamp with the
date at which he last worked on his customized EGA/VGA Font
Symbol Pool. If he does not remember the date, he can do a dummy
modification and check for the current date on the saved file.
With a little luck it might be a free-standing file of 4096
bytes. If so, that video font file can be edited to include an
underdotted b. Possibly, however, it will be a modified version
of the 57344 byte long NB.FNT. But it may be that neither of
these situations obtains. In that case, we need the help of
someone who knows what happens when a new font pool is created.
Does a new EGA/VGA font get assembled from the contents of NB.FNT
or does the location of each symbol marshalled into the new pool
get recorded in a file somewhere which serves subsequently to
assemble the pool when it is called into use? If the latter
situation occurs, where is the table of symbol locations found in
NB.FNT for the new pool get recorded?

I have proven to my satisfaction that NB.FNT can be successfully
patched. I believe that one can design an underdotted EGA/VGA
letter and splice it into NB.FNT as a replacement for a character
that you will never use. If the new printer tables use
substitution tables, I don't see what you could not use that
approach to instruct the printer to print an underdotted b by
means of defining the output for the character as
<<ULUD>>b<<MDNM>>.

Re: volatility in writing vocalized Hebrew

If you attempt adding vowels to a non-vocalized text, it will
in most cases work as awakwardly as described. So the only safe
method is to OVERWRITE the consonants, adding immediately
vowels. This may be necessary anyway when you must use a
dagesh character. On the other hand, if the text was freshly
written, adding vocalization may succeed.

Thanks very much for the help; I'll try it immediately, and am confident that

Proportional is treacherous (old adage).  Try starting the ld at the same
tab stop.  Tab out to that stop each time from the end of your text--don't
mix spaces and tabs.  I read this over and it's not very clear.  I only
teach English, so you must forgive it.  Position the ld in each line at the
same tab stop.  At the end of the text on each line, tab out to that stop,
don't space out (so to speak).
Good luck.

Sarah,
	Only one small suggestion (actually explanation, I guess).  I'm sure
that most of the "redundancy in some of the commands" in the CTRL keyboard
are for laptops: those without all of the function keys that work as well
(or at all) as normal keyboards do.  Since NB "maps" the entire keyboard,
and has (potential) work for all possible combinations to do, something needs
to be done for those laptops that can't easily reproduce some of the
 combinations,
like with the "gray" keys.

Is there any way to create a list in NB with data exported from another

Wayne,

This may not be comforting to you in the short run, but Ibid works fine for me
in recognizing diacriticals, whether in author or title searches.  Perhaps you
have not copied over your data from Ibid under 3.1 to its semi-new format unde
r 4.0?

Secondly, just last night I printed out 10 copies of a 4 page document on an
HP+ laser printer using the menu commands.  Although I was sceptical when the
"Done" message flashed on the status line so quickly, yet everything printed
out as if we lived in a sin-free world....  Wish I had some explanation for
your problems!  (I should add to the above that I did not use the Ctl+Prt-Scn
option but the pull-down menu.)

Hope all you NB4 problems continue to "work themselves out."

Cheers,
