I didn't see at CICA.  I did find gs252win.zip at wuarchive.wustl.edu
in the mirrors/msdos/postscript directory.

However, you might find it more convenient to try plaza.aarnet.edu.au
According to archie, gs252win.zip should be in the
/micros/pc/oak/postscript directory there.

Subject: Re: Is This A PostScript Driver Bug? Or Not Enough Memory In My Printer?

Hello:
	Just a comment on the previous problem.
I recently upgraded Win to Win3.1, previously I had been using 
WinWord 2.0 and ATM 2.0 to print to a file using the Apple Laserwriter
IINTX driver.
	Normally I would bring these files to a unix environment and
look at them using the Previewer on NeXT machines (Display Postscript)
and sending the file to a Apple Laserwriter. Everything was working
great until I started using Win3.1 and TrueType. 
	Sometimes when I use equations on WinWord, and bring them over
to the NeXT to preview, the previewer gets stuck drawing them and
basically aborts, at the same time killing my session and logging me
out after some 5-10 minutes of extremely high CPU usage. However, if I
send the file to the Apple LaserWriter, there is no problem in
printing. 
	I have set up TrueType to use the Postscript fonts so, it will
use Times and Helvetica instead of Times-NewRoman or Arial. the
problem seems to be with the TrueType special characters or fonts. the
reason why the error moves page is that by using the default fonts
(postscript) in the laser, the Truetype definitions are found the next
time you use a special character. As soon as the postscript
interpreter find the TrueType code, it will try to interpret it and
blow up.
	My conclusion (which is not worth anything :-) ) is that
TrueType is fully compatible with Apple Postscript (Yes I know it is
well defined etc), so, it would look to me like MS only made sure it
worked under Apple PostScript. Under the NeXT Previewer (Display
Postscript) it will only work sometimes and, it seems that since your
microLaser PS35 is not "Apple" it is not 100% identical. So, either
Apple Laser have special sequences they recognize or, the interpreter
in your Laser is not 100% compatible with the Apple Laser. 
	
**FLAME FOLLOWS**
	Now, don't just go out there and buy Apple Lasers because they
can print TrueType perfectly. Instead bark on MicroSoft (well, whoever
is responsible for TrueType compatibility) and make them be compatible
with the standard.
	Of course I don't know if it is de NeXT Display PostScript the
one incompatible or if it's the interpreter in your Laser however, who
knows how many more Interpreters will have problems...

**END OF FLAME**
	Ufff. Lots of reading, thanks for staying with me, now so that
you can flame me....

I find Ghostcript for Windows very useful and so far able to handle all
of the PostScript that I have thrown at it.

I havn't used GhostView at all - does it have any search facilities?
If so this would be a nice tool to have under Windows - particularly
for viewing online documentation provided in PostScript format ;).

I look forward to someone porting it!

Drag the .cal file that you want to open from the file manager into the

you left it in last time it was saved.

Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 02:50:23 GMT

I have been using Scientific Word for several months.  It is produced
by the same people who make T^3 (TCI Software, Las Cruces, NM, USA).
Following are some comments:

Scientific Word is a first attempt by TCI to produce a WYSIWYG front end
to LATEX.  The basic engine has been licensed by Lotus for use in
AMI-PRO.  SW has many of the problems associated with a first version,
and I don't believe they really understand the audience.  As a front end
to LATEX, it should be either:
	** Sophisticated enough to do all the hard stuff in LATEX, such
as tables, etc.

OR

	** Far enough removed from LATEX that a user does not have to
know any LATEX to use it.

Unfortunately, they have failed at both.  The program is not sophiscated
enough to do tables, arrays, etc.  In fact, to do these, you must open a
LATEX window and program it yourself.  Once properly programmed, SW will
print it.  The people on the LATEX newsgroup don't like it because it
does not really help them do the hard stuff.

For the non-LATEX person, it is very difficult to really do much of
anything out of the ordinary.  Sure, it will produce beautiful
equations, keep track of numbering, but it is a mess to get the output
to look anything like what you want.  LATEX uses "styles" to determine
such things as font, margins, heading format, etc.  If you can find a
style that matches what you want, then SW will do great.  If not, you
can pretty much forget about learning what changes to make to get the
style you want.  Remember, LATEX is a PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE for typeset
manuscripts.  As with any programming language, it takes a long time to
learn the subtle points and to be able to program proficiently.  If you
want to learn TEX, it is better to emerse yourself in the language,
rather than to use a front end.

My impression is that its only advantages over standard Windows is that
it offers peer-to-peer file and printer sharing, and the free network
applications included.

Just as with standard Windows (or a Macintosh), you have to obtain TCP/IP
software elsewhere.

I have a few questions about the NT beta that I would like to resolve
before I receive my copy.  First of all, since it ships on cd, I am going
to have to get my hands on a cd-rom player for while.  I can't afford to
buy one right now, so I am going to see if I can borrow one from work.  If
I can't do that, I need to know the answers to some questions:

1) I have two hard disks right now (200MB primary, 120MB secondary). I
would like to keep my normal stuff on the primary and put NT on the
secondary. Will I have a problem booting NT if it isn't my first hard disk?

2) If NT is on my first hard disk, have they supplied a little program that
lets me choose whether to boot dos or NT?

3) After popping the cd in the drive, will it appear just like another dos
partition, or is there a special disk to access the data on the cd.  Reason
being that I would like to dump the cd onto my hard disk to enable me to
install NT away from a cd-rom drive (as well as faster).

Hi

I'm having a problem with Word for Windows 2.0.  I have just created a 
document (landscape) that runs over 6 pages.  I actually wanted to use A5
size pages, and so divided my A4 landscape into 2 A5 sizes columns.  As it 
was a booklet, I had pages 1 and 12 on one page, etc.  This was an incredible
feat, and I would appreciate any macros that people know of to reduce the
effort involved.

Anyway, my real problem is that I've now called up the document again, but all
I receive is the following.  Page 1 and 2 (ie real pages 12 and 1, 11 and 2)
have somehow become reformatted.  The words are distributed along the left side
margin of the columns.  As a result, these two pages are distributed over more
than 25 pages.  Thereafter, the display is normal.  Any ideas as to what caused
this?  I need to know as I will be producing the second edition fairly soon.

Thanks for the help,

Moran

This may be a really stupid question, but I won't know until I ask it.  I
recently beefed my memory from 8MB to 20MB.  I cranked up the machine and
everything went cool.  All 20MB are there.  I ran windows and it told me
that Windows 3.0 (I am using 3.1 but that is what it said) will not use any
memory above 16MB... reduce to 16MB and try again.  Does this mean that I
actually have to pull four megs out of my machine to get windows to run
again?  It can't just ignore the memory?  I can't make my hard disk cache
bigger so there is only 16MB left? (I tried this with the same result).
What should I do?

Come on, you should assosiate *.ps files with gswin.exe.
Then just select the postscript file in filemanager and
voila, there is your image, page... what ever you have.

Howdy --

I just set up qvtne303.zip, which seems to be dated 11-12-92. It works
quite well, and installation seemed very simple.

However, I can't seem to escape the default keypad mapping, no 
matter how I alter qvtnet.ini. I've tried just about every combination; currently I have keypad=IBM, nl_mode=unlock. I would like to have my backspace (or delete)
key function normally in telnet, rather than simply echo "^H" (or the DEC ansi string).
Yes, I realize ^H is ansi 8, the bckspace. The only time I get my backspace to behave normally is when the login prompts for a terminal type, and I intentionally give it a nonsense response, setting the remote host to "dumb".

I realize part of the problem may be the way my .login and .profile are set up on the remote Unix machines... but I don't have this problem when I log in with ncsa telnet, or with the SVR4/386 telnet program, or with the vt220 emulator I use with my dial-in lines.

I'd appreciate any help; the info in the release notes is pretty slim.

A side question: is there any chance the terminal mode will offer Tek 4010 (
or any 4***) emulation?

Before I moved "up" to Windows (acutally, Win-OS/2, but AmiPro doesn't
know the difference), I used XyWrite in DOS and filtered my output
through FancyFont, a typesetting utility that including a kerning and
substitution filter. Despite the sarcastic quotation marks in my first

to have to give up as important a typographic feature as ligatures, when
these were available seven years ago under plain old DOS. No, I won't
drop AmiPro, but I will fuss a bit.

Hello.

I need some help with EXCEL. I'm running EXCEL3.0 under WINDOWS3.1.

I have differences between what I see on the worksheet and what appears
on the PrintPreview (the printed size corresponds to the preview).

Let's say I write in a cell:

 |         |         |
 |This is a long text|
 |         |         |

This text is 2 cells wide. It fills exactly 2 cells onthe worksheet.

What I have on the preview is:

 |           |           |
 |This is a long text    |
 |           |           |

The cells are actually wider. This is very uncomfortable when I use
Format Border Outline around the two cells.

I'm using True Type Fonts. 

Using another PC, I didn't had this problem. I copied the file to my
PC and I have the problem again.

I was using the same EXCEL under WINODWS3.0 with Adobe ATM 2.0 and I
hadn't this problem.

Has someone an idea which could save me out of this nightdream ?

Thanks.

I'm REALLY interested to see if there are any excellent deals out there.

Student discounts would be nice too if anyone knows any info...

E-mail or post.
