That's why we created the Font Installer module in MetroTools. It does  
steps 1-3 and also extracts Mac fonts from Mac resource forks (plus a few  
other clean-ups).

The following I remember from a recent article in c't (german magazine).
Both, the 500C and the 550C use a three-color and a black cartouche. The  
500C however carries only one at a time, so it asks you to exchange it,  
when necessary. This is not only a little inconvenient, but also means,  
that it can't use black ink inside a color picture, what the 550C does,  
thereby enhancing output quality.

I have seen a 500C running with a NeXT using Dots color, which seemed to  
work fine. Of course, it was not too fast. I am considering buying a 550C  
myself.

Are you referring to the current batch of existing CDROM drives or are you
referring to a new/unreleased CDROM drive?  Also, where did you find a 
photoCDreader?  If the NeXT CDROM dirve that I received a month or two ago
can do PhotoCDs, then that would be the a well deserved peice of good news.

	So??

	And the Apple Macintosh had it as far back as the 512k Mac machines.
	
	The Amiga still doesn't support multiple displays, either.. 

	


*The Mac had a large number of products that added on external, full page 
displays.  Most or all of these card/monitor combinations had autoscrolling
virtual desktops, with the autoscrolling handled much the same way it is on 
the Amiga--just change two pointer values...

Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice here, I'm not certain if
this is the correct group.

The NeXT account I use does not have a proper finger daemon, for some reason.
It will not allow users from outside our cluster to finger a specific
user, rather, it simply lists _all_ users on that node you requested.

I heard that there is a fix to this somewhere, does anyone know where it is?

Thanks.

Hi everybody out there,

I have a little problem with making my own font paths with NeXTstep 3.0.
Hopefully somebody could help me or knows somebody who can do it (at NeXT?).

What's the problem?

I want to place fonts in others directories than /NextLibrary/Fonts, /LocalLibrary/Fonts or ~/Fonts. So after making a new font directory and
calling buildafmdir I changed the default setting NXFontPaths in GLOBAL
(see GeneralRef). That works fine.

if you open any font panel all fonts appears but only by there name. That
meens I can select all fonts but if I try to preview them or want to work
with them only the system default font (Courier) appears. :-(

Only fonts placed in the dafault path work correctly. I guess either I have to
change something else or this is a bug forgetting to adapt everything
correctly.

Is there somebody out there who could help me, also please send comments
directly to me. Thanks ..

This isn't an answer to your question, but the source at
ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v?.tar.Z. compiles nicely under NS
2.1 at least.  djpeg -G from that package will turn a .jpg to a GIF
file in 256 colors.  There are many other options as well.  djpeg is
much faster than PC-based jpeg decoders.

I would personally suggest that no one ever send credit card information via  
email.  It's not that I don't trust Irving or his company, but I *strongly*  
suggest that no one should assume that your email message will not be seen  
on the way to Irving.

Free advice, that's all.  When using credit cards, then write or call.
Don't go with email (until email encryption is a reality :-).

Other peoples opinions on this may differ, I'm just suggesting that people  
think about it.

Get ImageViewer from the Archives (we've got it here at
sonata).

Install it in /LocalApps or your Apps directory and
Update your Workspace (Command-u).

Name your files to end in .gif.

Double click on them and they'll show up on the screen!

From there you can save them back out, but if you plan to do a
lot of conversion, get something like PixelMagician
(demo on sonata as well).

NeXT and Object Design, Inc. signed an agreement that lets NeXT use
ObjectStore(tm) as a "core" technology in NeXTSTEP.

The idea seems to be that NeXT would use ObjectStore to create an object
oriented filesystem under NeXTSTEP.  (note I didn't say REPLACE the  
filesystem ...)

Interestingly enough, Sun just licensed ObjectStore recently.

Several of the Powerbook models have the abillity to appeare as
a Mac Disk drive (100, 160, 180 and Duos spring to mind).  You
should be able to plug one of those units into a power'd down
NeXT.  The Powerbook will show up as a Mac hard drive in the 
workspace when you power up and log back in.  I know of at
least one person that does this on a regular basis.

I don't think the 140, or 170 has this capabillity.

The following I remember from a recent article in c't (german magazine).
Both, the 500C and the 550C use a three-color and a black cartouche. The  
500C however carries only one at a time, so it asks you to exchange it,  
when necessary. This is not only a little inconvenient, but also means,  
that it can't use black ink inside a color picture, what the 550C does,  
thereby enhancing output quality.

I have seen a 500C running with a NeXT using Dots color, which seemed to  
work fine. Of course, it was not too fast. I am considering buying a 550C  
myself.

I am still looking for an AUTOCAD type of package with (Dimesioning capabilities), more  
of an engineering package rather than 3D modelers (Intuitiv'3D), although it is I'm sure  
a very nice package.

If anyone knows if ACAD can be interfaced with  NEXT Step 486 PLEASE let me know!!

Hello,

Are there any NeXT users/enthusiasts in the Colorado Springs area who 
would like to informally discuss the possibilites of a users group?

Thanks
