You mean the 320x480x16? In theory, we could make that mode available for the
Workbench. The reason you cannot select that mode for WB is because the graphics
database does not have that mode marked as a WB screen, so the ScreenMode prefs
editor filters the option out.

Well, the Viking was exactly that, a card with the needed circuitry that

use it with a standard monitor that accepts the used scanrates (i.e. most

Cool. That is very cool. I use POST on my Amiga, which is nearly as cool. I
can cut and paste stuff from the articles I read and try out the Postscript
on screen and look at the results while I am on-line. I tried your 2/3 box
hack just now. Very strange. Times is right on, and Helvetica is off the
scale, while Courier is way under the scale.

I tried a bunch of other fonts on here - Kable, Bible Script, Princeton,
Gill, Stone, Balmoral, and they are ALL all over the place.

I learned the 2/3 rule on Compugraphic MCS typesetting systems. Maybe their
fonts conform. Adobe's sure don't. 

Oh well. I didn't know there was a comp.sys.postscript group. I will have
to look into getting that. I find this very fascinating.

    I have a rev 4.3 A2000 with 8372a (1MB NTSC agnus).  I am trying to run
PAL on the machine.  I can get the WorkBench (2.04) to come up in PAL, but the
other screens come up in NTSC.  And whether or not the machine is in PAL all
depends on the frontmost screen.  This makes things look rather wierd when
switching back and forth between the WorkBench (PAL) and a custom screen (NTSC).
My question is how to get the darn thing to come up in PAL to begin with???
I can't seem to get BootPAL to work or the PD program PAL.  Either they don't
work on custom screens or they work on all screens but then the bottom gets
chopped off (still in PAL but wil a blank bottom).  When I run SysInfo and
AIBB, I sometimes get conflicting reports (one thinks PAL, the other NTSC).

NewTek will be there but they will not have a booth. They are planning a

your calendar are:
Video Toaster meeting - 1-4pm Tuesday
Amiga 3D SIG - 3-5pm Wednesday

Also if you are interested, I have several LightWave generated animations
that will be running in real time (actually well over 30fps) on Concurrent's

Thanks, I think I'm pretty familiar with dithering already.  What I'm after
is more specific information about what IM does so that I can use it
intelligently.  Such as:

Do I need to scale the image up to device resolution manually before
printing, or does IM do that for me?  (From your message, it sounds like
a manual step is needed.)  Is there any point in going beyond device
resolution?

Are there printer preferences that you'd suggest?  Especially halftoning
settings either recommended or perhaps ones to avoid.  I want to avoid
beating between printer driver halftoning and IM halftoning.

How much additional memory, if any, is required by IM for printer output,
on top of the 24-bit image buffer?  Is strip printing supported?

Also, since Perry K. seems to be following this thread, the person I'm trying
to help use the Tek 4693D printer already has ADPro, and would probably prefer
to use that, rather than buy something else.  It appears from our tests
that ADPro is printing in strips, but something in either the driver or printer
isn't supporting strip printing, resulting in one strip per page and a lot of
wasted one-use ribbon (or "transfer roll" as Tek calls it).  Any suggestions?
Is the Tek 4693D driver supposed to work with strip printing?

You wanna be legal? Okay, then you phone up Virtual Reality Labs Inc.
at 805-545-8515 and you ask them if that coverdisk PAL-only version of
Vista which was on that Amiga Format magazine is okay to own in the USA
or if it was licensed for UK/Europe distribution only. Then you'll know.

A few months back a similar situation occured with a certain paint 
program. It was produced as a "coverdisk" version for a UK magazine.
The magazine provided very little documentation in that issue, but
enouraged readers to send in some amount of money to receive a full
printed manual, which the maker of the paint program had done up
especially to be sold this way thru the magazine to its UK/Euro
customers. His contract with the magazine specifically prohibited
distribution of this issue with this disk in the USA where his
paint program is sold commercially, by dealers, in a full package with
the manual included.  

Well guess what hapened... the magazine was imported and ended up on
USA dealers' shelves anyway.  Upon hearing this my friend, the
author and self-publisher of the paint program, well he basically
hit the ceiling. He's probably still trying to scrape himself off.

At any rate, my hunch is that that version of Vista you're trying
to get from that coverdisk issue is PAL only, and that VRLI will tell
you it wasn't meant for USA distribution.

That certainly follows from your 2/3 rule, but is not true
of Adobe fonts.  (I'm sitting at a NeXT, you can't lie to
