Happy Holidays to all of you.  Our computer center is going to try
to get our sequent computer set right, and so will be taking us off
line this afternoon until, they say, next monday.  I'm leaving for a
convention soon thereafter and won't be back until Jan. 13, so I'm
going to set NotaBeneNet to Nomail for the duration.
	And a Happy New Year.  "See" you again soon.

Thanks, Paul, for your sound comment.  I hadn't been quite
clear on that NBI had officially stated that a hard disk is
needed.

I really have no _real_ problem using NB3.1 on the notebook and
moving notes to the desktop.  My fingers, brain, and whatever
else is involved, just have grown so accustomed to NB4's new
goodies, such as the five level undelete buffer, neat window
management, etc., and also the new key assignments, that they
protest at having to regress back to 3.1...

Subject:      Spell Checker and Hebrew
Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

Yekiel,

Last night I followed your advice and was more patient. When the Spell Checker
hung up at a Hebrew Word I waited and indeed after a period of   40 to 90
seconds it continued it's work. Except for one case! In that case nothing
happened after a waiting period of more than half an hour. Then I have lost my
patience and escaped from the Spell Checker. I had to spellcheck the rest of my
paper defining and checking block after block. Really a bit annoying.
      The Spell Checker should skip foreign languages automatically!

   Thank you anyway

This is not the place for a review of the newly published Oxford

attention to it.  All 1200 pages are well in the tradition of Oxford
Reference books, its production is superb, as Oxford books can be but
not always are, and it contains in the Editor's Preface this sentence:
       Without its IBM hardware and Nota Bene software, the project
       would, I suspect, have taken twice as long and may never have
       been finished at all.
Its message to users who despair of getting linked/ms files to work is

Virtual TOC does work in NB 4.0/Lingua as it did in previous
versions. However, customization is different. I have prepared
the necessary devices for this add-on: please download
NB-VRT02.zip from Simtel20 or taunivm. There is a doc on
installation, and a pgm which will run installation in a
few seconds. I have often expressed my dismay at NBI's
indifference to this simple add-on. I cannot even think of
editing and printing a large manuscript with actual TOC
numbers! Virtual TOC saves so many labour hours, as well
as allows printing the same mss on different printers and
with different formats.

Try reloading your printer driver from the menu.  Somehow the program seems

Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

I became obsessive over the holiday playing with icons, with the
result that I now have a new (and I think better) OS/2 icon for Nota
Bene.  I still use a dragonfly (love that old beast), but it now looks
better and is a bit less garish.  This icon will work in any version
of OS/2 PM, but would need some translation to be usable with Windows
(I've never fooled about with Windows icons, so I can't tell you how).

Those of you who don't use OS/2, please pardon the use of
bandwidth--the file isn't very large.  And to all of you, the best for
the holidays and warm wishes for a happy and bountiful new year.

I want to make use of a text database that only comes in
Notebook II Plus format (this is a DOS program).  I have
not, however, been able to locate any company which sells
the product.  My search has also been frustrated by the fact
that I don't know the manufacturer's name.  Does anyone
know 1) the manufacturer's name, 2) a company that sells
the product, or 3) anything about conversion of files from
that format into NB textbase/Orbis format (or any other
textbase format)?

Thanks in advance.

Comments: To: NOTABENE%taunivm.BITNET@Virginia.EDU
Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

The thing at the top of my 1993 wish list would be for NB4 to be
brought back into line with NB3 as regards ease of
configurability of drivers. I've just finished designing VGA
screen and HP PCL 4 printer fonts containing the special
International Phonetic Alphabet symbols needed to transcribe
French. Once my softfont file was completed, the task of making
the printer driver with Lodestar was swift. Making a keyboard
driver for the special VGA characters by means of the direct
editing of a .KBD file with NB3 was straightforward. I can now
see my French IPA symbols on the screen, and they stick when
entering NB3, when shelling out to DOS, and even when quitting
NB3 and re-entering. It sure beats waiting for the IPA symbols
promised for Lingua.

Here's wishing you all a very happy 1993.

On Mark Szuchman's speculation that the III driver might lack some of the
faults of the II driver, I can report that I had to change by experimentation
all the VL settings in the III driver to get automatic leading to work on our
IIID (the settings provided were all much too low).

Comments: To: NOTABENE List <notabene@taunivm.tau.ac.il>
Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

After some typically helpful suggestions from Tony Woozley, one of my
two New Year shoot-for-the-moon wishes has been solved.

I did a little nosing around the SIMTEL holdings and found *just* the
utility I was after. In the directory /msdos/dirutl there's a little
FREEware program called move453.zip (13345 Kb). It can search
directories recursively for target files, and move them en masse to a
different directory or floppy (there's even a switch that will prompt
you for a new floppy when one is filled). Thus, I can add the line to
the end of my NB4.BAT "launcher" that reads:
MOVE e:\*.bak a: /r/o
and all .BAK files on disk e: (a partition devoted to NB) will
be automatically MOVED to a floppy in a:, /r=recursing subdir's
and /o=overwriting files of the same name. There are other switches
too. (The line beginning "MOVE..." should read "e:[backslash]")

Perhaps others will find this nifty little utility of value as well.

Best wishes,
David.

Subject:      Help! NB4 + HPIIIP
Newsgroups: bit.listserv.notabene

No doubt quite a stupid question, but how do I get NB4 (Lingua) to print out
on my HP Laserjet IIIP. All I have managed so far is to make it print those
characters which form part of the printer's own fonts, but no OE yoghs, Greek,
etc. What am I doing wrong?? I set the language (<al1>, etc) but nothing
happens. Do I have to generate fonts? How do I do it and do I have to
download them then?

Another, though related, problem concerns good old NB3 and the new HPIIIP. It
has no driver for a IIIP or IIP so I installed a HPII. Printing seems to work
but I am unable to get a document to print justified. It is clear from the
result that NB tried hard to make it print out justified but it doesn't
succeed. Is there anything I can do about this, short of asking NB INformatics
for a driver (I faxed them twice in the past, no reply; my university wanted
to buy network version of NB4, and faxed them repeatedly . . . no reply).

If I have to switch wordprocessors, which (Windows) one can do the job, i.e.
print out Old English characters (yogh in particular)

A Happy New Year to all.

If this topic has been covered already, my apologies:  but I'm not aware
that it has been.

In early December, we in the English department here managed to hook up
four IBM-type computers to the department's AppleLaser NTR printer,
which is already handling a few MacIntoshes over the AppleTalk
connection.  The IBMs are connected in daisy-chain fashion to the
parallel port.  In this mode the AppleLaser emulates an HP II, and the
only typefaces available, supposedly, are Courier and the Line printer.
NOTE: since we are not connected to the serial port, we do *NOT* have
PostScript available.  Everything is working well; the only problem is
the limitation on Font Families.

Despite this supposed
limitation, the Write wordprocessor which comes with Windows
prints in a wide variety of fonts in sizes from 8 to 72 points.
Arial and Times CG are the fonts
I'm interested in.

Does anyone know how to set up my printer driver so I can make use of
the same wide variety of fonts?  I've tried defining the printer as an
HP III and as an AppleLaser NTX, but neither of those definitions works.

It's annoying to see that the Windows wordprocessor has the full range
of fonts available while NotaBene does not.
