Subject: SUMMARY - Good, cheap text processors
Keywords: summary
Organization: Telecom Research Labs, Melbourne, Australia
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1992 00:10:02 GMT

I made an enquiry regarding text processors for manuscripts several
months ago.  Here is a list of requirements:

1. Automatic word wrap / fill.  (The basic emacs fill isn't sufficient
though.  See below.) 
2. Multiple line spacing on screen and in print.
3. Basic printer support for proof-reading.
4. Underlining on screen.  Bold and italics are nice extras.
5. Mouse support for marking, blocking, cut, copy and paste.
6. Basic search and replace.
7. Multitasks properly and uses ARexx (what else for an Amiga?).
8. Some documentation on the output format so that I can automatically
translate files to [La]TeX.

Below is a summary of replies I received:

AZ 1.50 - Pretty good text editor.  Good even for binary files.
However, more suitable for source code editing than writing
manuscripts.

GnuEmacs - Can't reformat whole paragraphs if characters are not
inserted at the rightmost (fill-column) margin.  However, I'm familiar
with it, and can ask other users on the net for help.

QED - Plenty of features and AReXX.  Haven't had time to try it yet.

TPP - Graphical TeX front-end.  Clever, but not compatible with enough
with TeX and seems to lack wordwrapping feature.

An intriguing idea from Hugh Gamble:
- Make a font with a big interline space to simulate double spacing.

DECISION

Stick with GnuEmacs for the moment.  I might look at full blown word
processors such as Prowrite or Excellence! if I can't train GnuEmacs in
the next couple of months.

I've seen a program called CD_Store, but I haven't really used it, so I'm not
sure if it will suit your needs or not.

	I tried using Post 1.7 with the Amiga port of dvips.  I converted
texrexx.dvi to texrexx.ps.  I then tried to print it with post.  I get an
error of stackoverflow: /CharBuilder.  Increasing the all mem allocation
values for post to 200000+ didn't help.  /CharBuilder is a complex definition
so I would suspect a bug in post.  Sigh.

This is no doubt the problem.  If you do not include the proper header
file, you don't get the prototype for the function.  If you don't get
the prototype for the function, the compiler assumes "int".  If your
code then tries to pass this to a %f formatting code in printf, you
will get random garbage.

Make sure you are including the proper prototype for atof().  With
the flags the original poster used, he should have gotten a "no
prototype for function" warning unless he specifically suppressed
it.

There's the best driver I've ever seen on the Amiga available for the

Yep, the "zipper" is an NTSC artifact that is not hidden by the Flickerfixer.

I read somewhere about a commercial utility made by (I *THINK*) IDE
called "flickerfixer preferences" or something like that.

It claimed was able to "boost" up current 60Hz and 50Hz to 72Hz or even
stuff like 100Hz totally transparent to the system.

I have really sensitive eyes and was wanting to know how the 72Hz mode
works.  If it works nicely, I'll buy the package.

The ad said it worked with IDE's flickerfixer and the A3000 de-interlacer.

Can somebody please tell me about this product!

No - PowerPacker 3.0 used the same format as 2.3 (PP20). PowerPacker 4.0
uaes a different alogarithm (PP40), however it can still decrunch PP20
files.


BTW - PP includes 2 cli utilities 'crunch' & 'decrunch' (only for data
files). I think these are PD and can be found on some fish disk.

Well, I have the new manual and when I complained (on the reader opinion card)
that it wasn't wirebound, I got a call back from their tech pubs department.
The woman I spoke to told me that they opted for a conventional (book) binding
because of all the complaints they got AGAINST wirebound manuals (okay, who's
been complaining about wirebound manuals?).  In any case, after assuring me
that the binding was made with the highest quality polyurethane, and could be
bent back without risk of pages falling out, she went on to say that the new
manual is a SIGNIFICANT improvement over the previous two.  I'm not sure what
SIGNIFICANT means, but she indicated that the old manuals were somewhat rushed
to meet delivery schedules. She also said many of the example programs are new 
or have been rewritten.  I must say the manual is quite good, with LOTS of 
programming examples.  I'm inclined to believe that the manual is better, 
because a friend of mine (who has the old manuals) has learned about several 
48 features from me -- and he's had his calculator for more than a year longer.

I guess that's bad news for those who have the old manuals -- perhaps you can
purchase the new one from HP?  (Of course at reasonable HP prices! :)

Hi,
I think you are asking for repeated data...
it can be enter to the calc with a simple routine:

@ NDAT  ( data count -> )
/<<
   /-> data count
   /<<
      1 count START data /Sigma+ NEXT
   />>
/>>

This short routine does the job...  only put the data value
on 2d level and how many times on level 1.

bye.

Rob asks how to purge vars with spaces in their names.

This is a subset of the larger question: how do you get illegal var names
onto the stack so that you can manipulate them via ORDER, PURGE, etc?

Simple: Press VARS, OBJ->, and find the illegal var name (with all its
kin) on the stack.  This works no matter how bizarre the var name(s) may
be.

I checked with the Hardware folks, and here is the scoop:

There was a specific problem that may or may not occur in a limited
production of units. The problem has been isolated to the LCD and
has been resolved with the vendor. The potentially defective LCD's
were installed in HP 48's with serial numbers ranging 3013AXXXXX thru
3044AXXXXX. Symptoms of the problem are a pronounced black spot in the
upper left hand corner of the display and/or dark/missing columns
3,5,7 and/or 9.

If a unit is failing for the above reasons, subject to
verification by the Corvallis Service Center, it will be covered as
part of the standard warranty, even if the standard warranty period
has expired.

Summary: free bonus software, serial cable, more with purchase of 48S and 48SX

This may be old news here (I recently started reading this newsgroup),
but HP is offering a discount book with a purchase of an HP-48 or
48SX.

From an ad in my school newspaper:

	There's a lot more than a great calculator waiting
	for you when you purchase an HP48SX or an HP48S between
	June 1, 1992 and October 31, 1992. you'll get a bonus
	book that's good for free software, a free PC link cable 
	and hundreds of dollars back on applications - like electrical
	and mechanical engineering - memory cards, training tools, 
	and HP's infrared printer.

	[ad continues...]

My bookstore doesn't carry the HP48, so I found someone at HP who could 
send me the book at 800-825-4558, but I assume that someplace like
Edu-calc would know about the offer themselves.

Neither the lady I spoke with on the phone, nor the ad itself mention
that it is restricted to students only.
