Someone asks for a Diskdoubler like Stacker on the PC.

There is a Handler that can do this to you. It is distributed
with the XPK Paketed. It's called XFH-Handled and can be connected
to an directory in order to crunch all written data and decrunch
the crunched files without nollage to the called program. Only
the access must pass through the Handler.

XPK itself is a Packer Standart for Packers as libraries. The best
algorithm available is the Imploder. I crunched my TeX-Partition
with the XFH-handler and got 60% more space.

Bye Christian

Ok, netters... I have an URGENT, vital request involving PC-MAC transfers.
Could someone PLEASE mail/post me the anon. ftp address of a system that
you're SURE has the IBM-PC versions of the dms utility. Most specifically, I
need the PC DMS splitter in order to put a 750K file onto low-density 3.5"
PC disks. If you have an address for this util, or know of some other way I
can get this large file onto my Amiga, PLEEZE mail me ASAP.

			Thanx 10000x in advance!!!!

  Funny, I've made the same offer to Supra owners for Welmat.  I'll be
supporting all the ZyXEL features in the future (Including Voicemail), but
don't plan on trying to add support for something I don't own.

  Getting registration and support for a package where it's not REQUIRED
to send money in is hard in the Amiga community, eh ;-)  A simple calculation
says that if 6 users got together and put together the same money as these
would for registering my 'competition', their modem would be supported in
future revisions of the product.  The same can be said for GPFax, AmigaFax,
and all these other external packages I have gotten requests to support.

Soft-Logik sells the entire Image Club collection of Adobe Type I
fonts. There are over 600 faces. They are sold by family or in collections.
These are professionally designed fonts of the highest quality.

	No, it's a bug in dvips.  I had the exact same problem, and here
is what I discovered.

	I ran dvips on the same DVI file on the Amiga and on our UNIX
machines here, and then compared the output.  The Amiga-generated Postscript
file was missing a whole bunch of commands!

	Then, I transferred the UNIX-generated Postscript file to the Amiga
and printed/previewed it with Post 1.7 with no problems.  End of proof --
the problem was in dvips.

	This was with a version of dvips I pulled off (I think) the
PasTeX archive site, ftp.uni-passau.de.

Definitely!  In fact, they ought to up the price of Final Copy by $50 while

Yes, you can do this.  Contact our Book Sales department to get more
information.  You will need to supply the name of the person you bought
it from so we can remove them from the database, plus a photocopy of
the original diskette(s).  It would help if you had the serial number,

Hello!

A PP20 file is a file crunched with the Powerpacker. If you got some
you have to decrunch it. What you are doing than with the data is
your own choice.

A PP20.txt file, I think you mean, is a PowerPacker crunched Textfile
that can be decrunched by PowerPacker or the DeCrunch CLI-command
distributed with the PowerPAcker or may be on a Fish disk. Than you
can use the file as a normal file.

I hope I could help

The speed of a DAT, or any TAPE for that matter, and the data-density of it
are not related to each other. This means that it is possible to use
DATs at f.e. 5 times the usual speed while keeping the data-density (measured
as the amount of data per unit *tapelength*) the same.
Of course that would be out of the question when using tapes for storing or
retrieving music (unless you like to listen to the Chipmunks), but it is
perfectly OK use tapes at higher speeds when they only contain data.

(Yuck, I hate acting like a teacher so why do I do it?)

	I use an HP LaserJet IIP with PasTeX.  However, I do not use
DVIprint.  I use dvi2lj (also called dvilj, dvilj2p) which prints *much*
faster.  I can send anyone a copy; just ask.  It's freeware.

>  2. How much memory would the HP IIp need to print a TeX document;
>likewise, how much memory would a postscript printer need?

	This is a misleading question with the IIP.  Its input buffer is
*really* tiny; the extra RAM you add doesn't get used for holding the
input.  However, you do need RAM for fonts, so you might as well get the 2MB
expansion card, since it can be upgraded to 4MB by adding your own RAM.  The
1MB expansion card is already filled up, and isn't much cheaper than the 2MB.

>3. What is the printing speed for a HP IIp with a TeX document

	Because of the tiny input buffer, it is definitely slower than the
"4 pages per minute" that the printer can do.  Maybe 1-2 pages per minute
for a large document.

	Does anyone know where to find the Amiga port of dvips?  According
to the documentation from PasTeX 1.3, it does exist.

	The reason I ask is that I find that the output from TeX to be 
somewhat lacking compared to Post 1.7 with real Adobe fonts or Final Copy.  
There also appear to be some bugs in the DVIprint program (at least with the
LQ printer).

Well, since it doesn't have a DSP, I doubt that DMCS 2.0 will support it.
Actually, since the Paula chip has not changed, the only thing DMCS can
do better is support the graphics modes.

With the prevalence of MODs and Trackers now (all either PD or shareware) I
really don't see DMCS 2.0 surviving.

You're right, I should have mentioned my HD model in my post, but I didn't have
the exact model # with me at the time, and I didn't want to write down (type
out) the wrong information.  Anyway, I have a Conner CP340, 3 1/2", SCSI HD.

Thanks,
Joe

  A front end to the xpklibrary allows you to use the xpklibrary and
all supported packing algorithms to store all data in compressed form.
The compressed data can be retrived form the disk and unpacked on the
fly. It will work with all dos application.

I never tried it by myself, but according to the autors (hi Urban)
it makes you wonder.
