You have to tell HDToolbox the name of your SCSI device
driver. Enter the tooltype:

SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=Malibu.device (This IS case sensitive!)

in the HDToolbox .info file or start HDtoolbox from Cli like:

HDToolbox Malibu.device

This should fix your problem, providing your host adaptor
follows the RigidDiskBlock specifications..

One other bit of data: Jeff posted that he has a 2090A.  This is
the same controller which is in my father's Amiga, and this 68030
card has been run in that system with no HD problems at all, but
under 1.3 and with a SCSI drive.  As far as I know, those are
the only two differences between the systems (SCSI, and 2.04).

(I'm the one who sold the 68030 card to Jeff, so I obviously have
a vested interest in helping him figure it out.  I'm stumped
too though.  It worked OK in my 1.3 system with a Xetec controller).

This didn't happen before I had the A590.

Kermit can compensate for that.  I transfer binary files over a

Of course, the 7 bit path does slow things down somewhat.

Has anyone else experienced this or knows why it happens?
Whenever I run PPage3.0 or Final Copy 1.3.2, I use the interlace
screen.  After the program runs for sometime, the screen will be
garbled.  For example, in PPage, sometimes the image of the icons
which usually appear on the right side of the screen will also show
up elsewhere.  After I force the screen to refresh, the screen
returns to normal.  It's more of a inconvenience then anything
and I've put up with it for quite some time.  Figuring that this
is as good a time as any to finally try to solve the problem.

Any suggestions welcome.  Thanks in advance.

DVIprint needs the pk-fonts of the printer resolution.
Because it doesn't find the fonts in your TeX:... directories, it
looks in the file TeX:config/FontVols. This file is used for
fontcaching. The files defines, on which disks (disk name is first
entry of the lines in the file) which resolutions (numbers seperated
by dots) are on the disks. The number after the disk name (before the 'd')
select the base-dpi of the font resoluttions
(base-dpi == 300, magstep == 1 --> font resolution 360 [*1.2^1])

But the disks, descriped in the FontVols file, are not available
via ftp. :-(
But there are two possibilities to get the fonts:

 - Take the two Metafont disks (.zom) and install the ARexx scripts
   (CallMF). So, ShowDVI and DVIprint call metafont directly for
   every missing font.

 - Ftp the fonts from a ftp-server.
   E.g. on ftp.uni-passau.de in /pub/amiga/tex/fonts/360dpi/*
   are the fonts packed in .lzh files.
   You only have to copy the fonts to tex:pk/360x360/*
   or (to save *much* HD space) copy the fonts on disks,
   relabel the disks and create correct entries in the FontVols
   file for the new disks (delete the old 360x360 dpi entries!).

Happy hacking, (read the english docs about the FontVols file and
		look into the TeX:config/#?.fnt files!)

	Georg.


PS: Try "DVIprint showprinters" (or look into TeX:config/DVIprint.printers)
    to search the best entry for your printer.
    Printing via the generic driver is _very_ sloooow.

I came in kinda late, but since I've been using WP 4.1 Amiga Student discount
($99 three years ago...), I figured I'd make a comment or two at least.

Buggy?  Nah.  Doesn't support fonts of any size other than topaz 8, but then
  I don't think I saw any other program, PD shareware or commercial, at that
  time that did properly support changing the programs font from an external
  source (ie, WP4.1 runs on the Workbench, and changing the system font screws
  it up).  Admittedly, forcing any program to adhere to topaz 8, no matter 
  what the system font currently is is simple (specify "topaz" in your font
  fields instead of NULL), but none of the other programmers, even Amiga only
  programmers, seemed to understand that at the time either.

This is not a major defense of WP...  It is 4.1, and even old IBM WordPerfect is
4.2, which at least has line drawing capability...  Further, WPCorp has 
officially stopped selling, updating, etc. WP Amiga.  I believe support lines
are still open, but that's it.  (From the official WP newsletter)

No, it isn't Amiga-ized.  But is is quite powerful for a text-based wp, and
does a better job in interface and in WYSIWYG than equivalent levels of IBM
WP - ie, italic is italicized on screen, bold is bold, underline is underline.
(ooh ahh...  but better than IBM's approach...)  If you already know the 
WordPerfect theory of operations, it's a nice word processor.  It is not some-
thing I would recommend as a starting wp, since it will never be supported in
the future.

Well, that's my $0.02 worth.

Are there any good inexpensive or shareware accounting products for the
Amiga?  I've been watching the group, hoping to see one mentioned, but
no luck.  I've also looked in the AC Amiga Product Guide (or whatever
it's called), and I didn't see anything that looked usable that was
less than $200.  I hate to spend that much, since my business is just
starting out.

For reference, there is a package called "Taking Care of Business" from the
IBM PC-clone world (*shudder*) that is very nice, and only costs about $25.
So, of course, I'm hoping for something similar for the Amiga.

Any suggestions (besides "Quit dreaming" or "buy a PC")?

I believe he was comparing LZ and LHArc, as the subject suggests.  LZ is
definitely faster than LHArc.  LhA is supposed to be faster than both of
these.  I use LhA because it has lots of options, most of which I will
probably never use; I like having lots, though ;-).

  I have the following HardWare and Software

  1. Golden Image Hand Scanner w/ old version of Touchup...
  2. PageStream 2.2
  3. Hewlett Packard DeskJet 500

  Ok.. here's the problem.. I have using the scanner to import pictures..
but I just can't seem to get them to come out right. The pictures look fine
through a viewer.. but when they are printed on the printer.. they come out
dark and seem to be only b&w when I save them with the "grayscale save"
option in Touchup.

  We have tried several options.. one was to make the pictures naturally
big and shrink them in PageStream before printing.. because making them
bigger seems to just make the boxed pixelization (I don't know what else to
call it) more pronounced. The next step would seem to make the pictures
REALLY light.. but I am not so sure that will work either.

  So far, I am saving the pictures as Gray-Scale IFF.. but someone
mentioned to me that .IMG might be better.. however I don't see an option
in Touchup to save IMG except for in B&W.

  Argh.. I know these scanned pictures can print out better.. even on an
INK Jet.. I have seen it.. but I just can't get them to talk to each other!

  Anyone have any suggestions.. please write me E-MAIL (PRIVATE MAIL!).. I
would appreciate ANY help!

TurboText does this and MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!!  It's the most
amazing text editor I've ever seen for any platform..  Supreme excellence.
The only thing currently missing is an Undo feature (ala CygnusEd Pro)
however this should be in the next release..
