At the WOC in Toronto in very early December, I saw a demo of the new
Directory Opus V4.0. The sales dude there indicated it would start shipping
(from Texas?) a week later to registered owners. Has any registered owner got
their copy yet? I want to purchase this program but its not in my local
dealers yet and the sales rep at the local dealer has not received his
personal copy (ordered at the show) either. So...are they shipping yet? If not
 why? When? If you have received your copy, is is stable. Is the manual well
done? Comments please. Thanx....

Yup, it is busted. :-(.  I accidentally broke it in 2.1 and it slipped
by unnoticed (I don't use floppies more than once every 3rd blue moon).
I'll fix it for 2.2.  Sorry.  I don't know what happened, exactly, but
it definitely isn't working.

Yup.

I'll have to reword that - it sounds misleading.  PNPC1 is for PS1,
PNPC2 is for PS2.

If anyone has a better way to do this given a prompt that contains an
unknown number of non-printing characters, I'm definitely open to
suggestions :-).  The real ksh just ignores the problem entirely and
your line scrolls at 30 characters instead of 80, which is horrible.  I
wish I could come up with a more elegant way to do this, but haven't
been able to yet.

Sounds like an independent problem.  I haven't noticed any completion
oddness in root directories, but I'll try to duplicate this and see what
I can come up with.

Sounds like a bug.  I'll add it to my "to fix" list for 2.2.  Thanks.

Well, to sum  up what it does : it detects illegal memeory access
(read/write), and may prevent some crashes. The informations are sent
to the serial port (to a terminal) or the parallele port (to a
printer).

Final Copy of course!!!!!!!!  Nothing beats Final Copy II's output when it
comes to amiga wordprocessing.  Especially if you've got a Postscript laser
printer!!!  But even with a 24 pin printer nothing beats FC II's output!
Very Smooth fonts.  PROPER KERNING!!!! (Something Prowrite had problems with
since it started using CG Fonts).  The quality of the 24 pin output rivals
ink jet printers (although the dots are slightly bigger than ink jet -- but
still many many times better than prowrite)  You can have Jaggy free
printing without Kickstart/Workbench 2.xx!  You've got to have really good
vision to see the difference between inkjet output and laserjet output.

Just my opinion.
Edsel Adap -- a very satisfied user of FC II!!!! :)

My brother was the original poster of this.  We posted this because we could
not find the SWDownload program in our Hard Drive.  The original disks were
left at home.  But when we found it in the Hard Drive the solution was
simple.

Anybody out there interested in this KEEP READING.  If not stop reading now.

I used CMD to capture all output to the parallel.device to the RAM disk.
ran SWDownload to download certain fonts.
run CMD again and print the FC II document in postscript (You can also print
to file and skip running CMD )
I then uploaded the uploaded font to the school's Postscript printer by just
copying it to the printer.  Then I copied the postscript document to the
printer.

that's all there is to it.  The output was excellent! Better than the output
on my LJIIP.

I've used the demo of Visonary.  It's a very impressive program.  It 
supports DCTV, HAM-8, 24 bit, etc.  If you can get the demo, try it out.
It's a great morphing package.  It's published by Impulse, I believe.

My experience is about 5 minutes per page for plain black text. I am using
FC II on an unaccelerated amiga 2000HD, with goodcolorjet driver and a
DJ550C. For drafts, lower graphics density to 150 dpi and the time drops to
about 3 minutes. Very fancy fonts take up to 7 minutes. I am about to order
Wolf Faust's Studio package, which has better drivers that I hope will give
about 25% speed improvement and full use of the 550C 4-colour capabilities.

That isn't close to the speed of Wordperfect, of course. And I have not
found a way to make Final Copy II print envelopes easily on a Deskjet. I
set the printer to Landscape, and FC II to draft mode, but to properly
position the address I have to insert 50 spaces at the start of each line.
Not hard, but annoying. In Wordperfect all I have to do is change the left
margin before the address.

I did this too, for a while, but the printout left me with the jaggies.

Don't be so sure. There is a program called IntroCAD which I pick up a 
couple of years ago for $30(US). Once you get the symbols made, it works 
great for making flowcharts and the printouts are great. It doesn't use 
the standard preferences printer drive though, so you may have to create a 
small file telling it the commands and density of your printer.

I think I read somewhere that this program was released on a cover disk of 
a Euro Magazine. Sorry can't remember which one. Maybe someone else knows?
Anyway, if you can find out which Magazine, you can probably get it for 
$10-$15 (US).

However, for some reason it's still missing one security check:
Right-clicking on the login screen shows the title-bar, which allows
people to drag the screen away and see, if not use, other screens.  I
know I corrected this in a test-version once, but I must have lost it
in a system crash or something.  The  version  info is also wrong.

I will shortly upload login1091.lha, which will contain the proper
version of the login program in addition to the other stuff.  FTP
administrators, please remove login109.lha after receiving this
update.

My apologies to everyone for missing this important bug.

Once again, DO NOT use login 1.09.  Use login 1.091 instead.

Edouard, try ADPRO. It's been getting some mixed reviews on the net lately
but it's my personal favorite. The "prefprinter" saver (which is also available
as a stand-alone product from ASDG I think) allows superb control of printouts
across many pages (for posters) dithering etc. AND it supports AREXX.
