No, I didn't apply the 3.2.2 patch as mine is a UK version and it didn't work.
I did, however get a new 3.2.2 UK version from Mark Thomas by mail.
I'll have to try the old 3.2 UK version and see if the problem is in that as
well.  3.2.2 works fine on the A3000 under 2.04 though.

If you are having trouble printing postscript files on your Postscript
printer with ProWrite 3.2, you might want to perform the following
operations on your "PostScript Prep" file.

(I am using a LaserWriter.)

First, look for these lines:
-------------------------------------
systemdict /rectfill known {
/systemdict /rectfill get /RF xdef
}{
/RF {
newpath
4 -2 roll moveto
dup 0 exch rlineto
exch 0 rlineto
neg 0 exch rlineto
closepath fill
} bdef
} ifelse

It appears that systemdict actions are implementation dependent
and the 'get' fails on the LaserWriter. So you might want to
comment the following four lines out as such:

%systemdict /rectfill known {
%/systemdict /rectfill get /RF xdef
%}{
.
.
.
%} ifelse

I'm not sure I understand the problem. You said you have 4 meg and PageStream
says you have 4153288 free in the system (which is about 4 meg). The "Largest
Free Block" is the largest free area of contiguous memory which is considera-
bly smaller if the memory is fragmented (not all together in one block).

I'm using PS2.2 with a 33MHz GVP Combo and an HP Deskjet+ .
Works fine for me :-). Not quite as fast as AmigaTeX, but much faster than
Pro Page (V2.0).

One thing to watch out for on accelerators, especially if you want to handle
24 bit graphics, is that you can DMA into the accelerator memory. The GVP
combos have a built in controller, so that's fine. If you use a system that
can't dma into accelerator memory, then you take a severe hit on disk
transfer rates; experiments with my ancient controller showed a peak of
about 50K/sec compared with 900K/sec with the GVP controller. (and about
5-600K/sec with the old controller into 16-bit memory).

I just got an upgrade announcement in the mail for it (and I think my current

Date: 15 Apr 92 08:28:56 GMT

I've just bought a copy of Final Copy and am by and
large happy but with a few reservations.

i) I have a A500 with 512k trapdoor expansion, A590 + 2 MB.
With the trapdoor expansion switched on I get out of memory
messages frequently despite about 1.5MB showing up on 
workbench (plenty of chip looks free). When switched off
then things are fine. Only Birds of Prey had similar problems.
Any ideas ?

ii) The outline fonts are good and the Postscript support is
one of the main reasons I went with Final Copy. Where can I lay
my hands on other fonts ? Is there any way of using system
fonts ? (I just get the screen flashing if I load in topaz
or any other regular font).

Thanks for any help. I read this group regularly so replies
here are fine. My e-mail address is below.

Fonts for TeX are generated by Metafont (it's a bit like vector fonts,
only better :). You give Metafont a description of your output device
(e.g. resolution) and Metafont calculates a bitmap for every char of 
the font (.gf file, or .pk after packing with gf2pk) and
a font description file (.tfm) which is used by initex and virtex.

The drivers (ShowDVI, DVIprint) need the packed format of
the bitmap files (.pk files).
You can get _many_ of these fonts for the ShowDVI previewer.
Look for 8 PreviewFont disks (.zom format).
(ab20.larc.nasa.gov of ftp.uni-passau.de)

There are also ftp sites for printer fonts. But you can also
generate the fonts on your Amiga at home. Take the two
Metafont (.zom) disks and install the ARexx scripts CallMF.
So, ShowDVI and DVIprint call MF directly for every missing font.

	Georg.

actually quite slow at printing. This seems to be in direct comparison to
the adds in AmigaWOrld which suggest it is much faster than ProWrite. Is
this a fair assumption??

	Can I take the other claims concerning Final Copy with a grain of
salt in light of this??

	Any users who have experience with both products care to comment on
which they would plump for (any Wordsworth users out there that have

Upon contacting Epson Australia concerning an EscP2 Amiga driver, I was told
to 
   [a] ask Commodore (ie use whatever is available, no matter how inadequate)
   [b] Buy our nice new EscP2 manual and write my own driver.

It seems that, unless one owns an IBM, one is not worth supporting :-{

The EpsonQPlus driver is good, but being able to use EscP2's scalable fonts
would be good.
