You may use the GDOS that comes with the TimeWorks Publisher disk with other
programs.

It's mostly a moot point at this time in any case.  FONTGDOS (an 'upgrade' to
GDOS that came out around the time FSMGDOS was about to be released) has been
made available to the Atari community.  Only the fonts weren't included in the
FONTGDOS release -- and the ones you have from TimeWorks Publisher should work
quite nicely for that purpose.

>If I need to purchase GDOS, should I wait for Speedo GDOS which has
>some type of changeable font sizes?

SpeedoGDOS is a new technology, and you will have to purchase the released
version ... partly to pay royalties to BitStream for use of their font
technology and partly to pay royalties for BitStream font families.  Current
rumor is that SpeedoGDOS will be packaged with the Falcon computer.

The primary difference between GDOS and FSMGDOS/SpeedoGDOS is 'scalable fonts'.
You don't need a physical font file for each font size of a font family.  GDOS
has some rather crude font scaling -- if you have a 12 point font you also
have a 24 point font available --- but it is not a smooth scaling, and can be
extremely disappointing at print time.  Truly scalable fonts look good at any
reasonable font size.

>Where do I get fonts for GDOS?  Do I buy them from Atari or are they

GDOS fonts can be purchased, you can get fonts through the on-line services,
and you can also check out the atari.archive server.  Several GDOS fonts are
available in the Applications/Dtp/Fonts/Gdos directory.

A freely available GDOS clone from Germany is also available.  Look for the
file amcgdos.arc on the a.a. server.

FONTGDOS is available on GEnie.  It is also in the Printing directory on the
a.a. server.  It consists of a number of printer .SYS files, some desk
accessories, the fontgdos.prg and a text file.  There are no fonts in the
archive.

Can't remember offhand, but in a review of the Comdex show in the US someone
was showing a 286 board, and said a 486 was on the way. Vortex I think...

The board fits into the processor expansion slot of the Falcon.

I have been using the osbind.h header with several programs lately and I have
noticed that (in v1.33i) at least, many of the macros are wrong! They are
cast to void returns when in fact there are long returns! This causes all 
manner of roblems when trying to pick up returns from these calls.

Just though you might like to know. It is a real problem with such a 
good compiler and all, I was most suprised.

  Hi people, 
 
  Now here's a bloody simple yet personally rather irritating problem:
  
  Shortly I ran into the Freeze Dried Terminal Program.
  Lotsa features included, quite impressive I'd say, 
  (though some call it a dirty hack or complain about it's coop with Mtos)
 
  and it cooperates just fine with nn and elm.
  IRC though is a problem: The first screen after running irc
  is printed okay, as well as the inverted status line, 
  yet ALL THE CONSEQUENTIAL data get's printed at one and the same line; 
  the one jright above the status line.
 
  WANTED: * Settings from a fellow-fzds & IRC user !!
  
  Hope to hear from you soon,

Hello again from the man who knows virtually nothing about anything and
everything about nothing.

Todays question....?

Having now installed a PC HD drive internally on my ST - with your help
I might add - I am now left with this old, useless and lonely
ex-internal ST drive, which has since sued me for not getting job
satisfaction.

The question is...Is this drive now doomed to lead a solitary and
neglected existence or is it's pitiful state to be relieved by using it
as a second drive - externally.

Can this be done?

Answers on a postcard to...

there's something I'd like to point out.

I actually meant High Density drives NOT Hard Drives.  ONE person was
wise enough to realise my mistake and notify me <thanks>.  At the price
I was quoting surely no one REALLY thought you could get a hard drive.
But it's still a good price for a High Density drive!!

Sorry, sorry all.

I've walked the plank, been eaten by sharks and then spat out into an

Me too,  and it is a nice looking bit of software though I couldn't play
too deeply as I have a Kawai K4 and when I phoned Waterfall Digital re
availability of a K4 module the phone went unanswered..
The price is good too and compares very well as it's a once only product
for all the synths you have modules for, perhaps they supply the module
of your choice for the basic price and then a fee for extra modules as I'm
sure we don't ALL have TX81z or U110 as supplied with the demo.

>4 - The load up time stinks. I'm running TOS 1.4 off a Sysquest

Im running TOS 1.6 and a floppy and it took about as long, I thought the
program had hung ! There's no need for a 1.5 minute advert for Waterfall
Digital every time you run the thing !! A BIG no-no.

Other niggles.. there are some annoying inconsistencies in that some sliders
diplay the numeric values while other sliders / dials don't, this could be
a pain where guesswork just isn't quite good enough. How about some calibration
instead of those great big arrows, or even a pop up value display whenever a
slider / dial is adjusted.

I didn't much like those enormous horizontal selection buttons. Functional,
but for a graphical editor hardly elegant. A lot of this stuff would be much
better accessed from a menu bar IMHO.

However, I really liked the mouse driven control of sliders and dials and
editing of velocity/keyscale/filter curves and also setting of keyboard
zones etc instead of just using it to increment decrement values, much more
like real "control panel".

The authors make no reference to testing alongside popular sequencers, CUBASE
springs immediately to my mind :-> Im going to keep trying the phone no. and
hit them with all the above before I invest.

The basic parts you are looking for are :
	1) drive
	2) case
	3) power supply
	4) host adapter

Because you have limited memory I would recommend that you
get TOS 1.4 to avoid using memory on fixes to TOS 1.0.
(Sort of scares me to call 1 meg of memory "limited memory". )

I would get a case that can hold at least 2 drives, and can be used
as a monitor support. The case should also have the 50 pin SCSI
connector, and cabling. This will allow you to move the drives
easily to another platform (i.e., TT, MAC, IBM-clone).

I recommend the ICD Linx host adapter, and ASCI cable. This host
adapter plugs into the SCSI connector and the ASCI cable.

The prices, in US dollars, you can expect to pay for the parts are:
	1) drive		40meg $200, 85meg $300
	2&3) case/powersupply	$50 -> $120 (depends on cabinet and ps rating)
	4) host adapter (linx)	$100        (should include ASCI cable)

	TOS 1.4			$70

I figure you are looking at a retail price of around $400 (US)
for a 40meg harddrive, and around $500 (US) for an 85meg harddrive.

A good source of HDs with cabinets and power supplies are companies
that have older SUN equipment with external HDs. They tend to upgrade
everything, not just the drive mechanisms. I had a 200 meg drive that
lasted 2 years that I purchased, with case and ps, for $150 (US). I just 
added a host adapter and was sailing along for under $300. If you do
get a used HD plan to replace the mechanism in a year, and perform lots
of backups. So ask around, the worst answer you'll get is none available.

I have always created my own HD sub-systems. They are easy to put 
together and ICDs software is the easiest to use, a copy comes with 
every host adapter.

The only way is to read ASSIGN.SYS.
You'll find it on your boot partition.
There is a global variable whitch says what's your NEXT boot partition,
but that's equal to the last boot partition in most cases.

ST-Blank does check to see if the IKBD really caused the interrupt (I
checked the source at the weekend). I also fixed the bug that caused the
AUTO folder program to crash if there was no .INF file -- I'll be uploading
the updated version sometime soon.
