Subject: Bug in PageStream 2.21
Organization: University of New South Wales
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 1992 01:29:09 GMT


	Yesterday I wanted to print a sign and I included Cristmass borders.
I had one and placed it at the top left corner. Then I cloned and rotated by
90 at a time to get the other borders. When I printed the 0 and 180 degrees
ones worked out fine (ie top left and bottom right) but the 90 and 270 were
unrecognisable. A not that they appeared on screen fine and they were BW iffs.
Also If I use CGFonts in PageStream I get a good print from pageStream.
But when printing to file and using post they all come up as my default font.
There is no accsess to the fonts in the CGFonts:PS/ according to Snoopdos
so what givs. Are CGFonts only for printing through PageStream ? But they 
could at least render a bitmap at 300 dpi and then it would look fine enough.
I haven't used the PostScript printer yet though.


	Thanks in advance

I don't agree with this statement.  One of GO's main roles is figuring out
the lifetimes of variables, temporary or not.  This can certainly be worked

Until the exception-handling is defined a little better, no compiler vendor
will be able to produce a version with any assurance that it will remain
compliant in the future.  True, exception handling will change the style
in which objects are developed;  this makes it even more important not
to make the wrong change!

Strange, I know at least 2 A4000 on which TM 2.0 works. Are you sure you
installed ALL files (l:WBStart-Handler, Libs:toolmanager.library,
prefs/ToolManager, WBStartup/ToolManager)?

Have you deleted any standard libraries from your 3.0 installation?

Should we assume from this that next year's SAS C++ won't have exception

Go into the PROJECT menu, select Page Setup and turn aspect adjusted OFF.
Then use the HIGH option under Print and you will get very nice output.

My dad just installed one of these in his 2000.  It mostly works OK, but
has a few problems.  He can't print faxes, for example, even though his
preferences settings are right.  He can import the fax as an IFF ILBM
into dpaint or Finaly Copy and print it just fine using the very same
prefs options.  GVP tech support didn't have any suggestions.  Also the
print fax option writes over memory in a random manner - sometimes it
trashes screen memory, sometimes other programs.  Solution: don't do
that :-).  Instead, export the fax as ILBM and print it from elsewhere.

But other than that, he has used it successfully.  The voicemail system
seems robust enough.  He's run into a few problems with the fax features
- he can fax to most machines OK, but not others, even when the others
are used to receive faxes successfully 24 hours/day.  Also, the default
model of "use the voicemail menu to send faxes" seems to cause
problems for a number of machines.  Some machines can just dial up and
send the fax OK, but won't work if the fax option under the voicemail
menus is used.

I think so.

You can have it execute an arexx command when the caller enters a given
mailbox.   This arexx command should be able to do whatever you want.

Haven't tried it, but it seems likely.  You might need two phone lines

I have decided to try Parnet to connect my Amiga's, and have a question
about using the serial ports.  I would like to connect a printer
to the serial port of one computer, and a modem to the serial port of the
other, and be able to use the modem from either computer.  I would guess
that some changes would have to be made to the serial.device of the
computer which does not have the modem.

Has this been done?  Is it possible?

Any information would be appreciated.

	Yes, this much I can work out. What I do with post is run Snoopdos to
see the name it is looking for. It scans all the directories (usualy) and 
looks for the appropriate font. In this case there is no HD accsess at all
Snoopdos does not pick it up. And the default font is used instead. But
given PageStream can render to screen it should be able to print to Postscript if need be as a high res (300x300 dpi) bitmap.

: --Martin
: 

	Mybe Post scans for all fonts at the beggining were Snoopdos
has yet to pickup Posts file opening. There is some mention abou possible 
probs like that in snoopdos. Thanks though for the help. A quick note how 
do I get Post (by editing init.ps) to always open in BW rather than color ?

	Thanks for ya trouble.

        Have you installed the JB system?  I seem to recall (off of the top
