I think this is all daft. Soon you'll have more next newsgroups than owners.
It's not as though there are a zillion vendors floading the net with 
junk mail. In any case, I am opposed to the creation of yet another newsgroup
which will take up space, etc...It's much better to have the relevant items
in as few groups as possible. If for no other reason than it provides a sense
of community.

I am in the market for a NeXT machine to do my work at home. Here is a
list of requirements:

1. The machine must be 030.

2. It must be in brand new condition.

3. The person selling it must live in a state on a border with or in 
Ohio

I will entertain all offers.

Sincerely,

Mike.

The problem is differentiating Sam Goldberger's post from anything else in
these groups. If it's OK for you to sell your used stuff here, it must be OK
for Sam. Or perhaps these groups should all be shut down. After all, this
hardly falls under the Internet purview of "research". But then, not much
net news does. Should we dismantle the network?

The correct syntax is "bsd sdmach nbuf=32", without the
"-" prior to nbuf.

Subject: WYSIWYG on NeXT: NOT !!!!!!
Organization: University of Zurich, Department of Computer Science
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1992 22:07:59 GMT

In all adds and datasheets of the NeXT Computer, it was said, that with
DisplayPostScript, one will have REAL WYSIWYG, her a short extract:

4.	A unified imaging system - Display PostScript (R) - for both the
	display and the printer. So what you see on the screen is
	unequivocally what you get on paper.
(C) 1989 NeXT, Part 1136.00

So, I've got some .ps Files from the net, and let the show up in
Preview, which led to an error (BoundingBox ? ? ? ?), so I loaded the
File into 'Yap', and it worked! 
After removing the 'Bounding Box' in the Header, of the File, it went
without error through 'Preview', BUT there was NO output on the screen,
just a white window. So, when I printed the page, I got some perfect
400dpi PostScript drawings.

So, where did the damn WYSIWYG go to ??

Also, some other files produced errors in Yap, did'n show anything on
the screen with 'Preview', but as well, they made sense on the paper.

Ok, so what files were they, well just some very odd Macintosh
PS-outputs, BUT that should not be any problem, because PS grew on the
Macintosh, before other Systems used it largely.
They where all produced with 'Print Monitor', and are as far as I see,
already a little bit pre-processed for the Laser Writer:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0
%%Title: topo 920616pro-NAMES
%%Creator: PrintMonitor
%%CreationDate: Freitag, 3. Juli 1992
%%Pages: (atend)
%%PageBoundingBox: 124 119 3382 2354
%%For: stalder
%%DocumentProcSets: "(AppleDict md)" 71 0

%%EndComments
%%BeginProcSet: "(AppleDict md)" 71 0
userdict/LW{save statusdict/product get(LaserWriter)anchorsearch
					^^^ Here

Ok, now I but some of those funny Pages through 'psnup', and I get
really some interesting results: They show almost perfect in 'Yap'
(forget 'Preview'...), but on the paper, they come out MIRRORED!
It didn't change when I disabled page reversal so, it's strange,
because, I can print them the normal way...

Any suggestions, comments ??

1.) Go in the ROM-Monitor (read the Admin-Ref for how to do that)
2.) Change the bootparameter ("p")
    sd- nbu=32	# or any other number, I use 96 (=0x60).
                  (With 32MB, I'd use 128 buffers...)
    (This also works for numbers >99, nbuf=... does not.)

It will speed the I/O up, BUT (!) remember that you risk more when your machine
crashes!

	Have fun, Gerhard.

[I apologize for the unusual formatting of this post, but after
reading one of my own posts to see that it got up okay, I see I
have a problem]

I never had this problem before, but without warning or changing
anything I seem to have it.  The problem is that when I insert
regularly formatted paragraphs into a NG post window, they come out
*really* long, much longer than the 72 characters I have my Post
preferences set at.

For an example of a long line that doesn't seem to do much but test this problem, take a look at what should be a 4-line paragraph (entered into a New Posting window without hitting return at the end of each line).

I am using v72.2 Release 2.0 NewsGrazer on a NeXTSTEP3.0 machine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try re-installing one of the mentioned fonts and do steps 1-5 again. Maybe  
it'll help a bit.

Hey Chris (and all the others ...),

where did you install the fonts? For make them usuable for all users they have  
to be installed at /LocalLibrary/Fonts. If the fonts are installed at the  
(User)/Library/Fonts directory only this user is able to work with these fonts.

'unusuable fonts' (in WN i.e.) are mostly caused by problems within the afm's:  
Check them to the originals: Are all lines represented (sometimes some lines at  
the CharMetrics are missing)? Or are some lines 'dubbeled' (sometimes a part of  
the afm file is repeated at the end)?

FrameMaker looks for fonts at /LocalLibrary/Fonts/afm (or  
(User)/Library/Fonts/afm). Does this directory exist? Are all afm's linked from  
the fontname.font to this directory? ... and if you have to do this now, it's  
better to create a directory /LocalLibrary/Fonts/outline too and link the  
outlines from fontname.font to this directory - there might be software which  
looks at this point for fonts ...

It might be easier to copy the afm's to /LocalLibrary/Fonts/afm, the outlines  
to /LocalLibrary/Fonts/outline, create /LocalLibrary/Fonts/bitmap and run  
'fontupdate_2.0' - this creates the fontname.font files and does the  
linking-job. Then run 'buildafmdir' as usual ...
