| Thank you for all these goodies Ed. The only problem is that on
TAPE::USER2:[UPLOAD] these files are protected against "world" access
(like almost all the other goodies on [UPLOAD]).
Regards,
Sorin

| 3433.2 | it seems ok | KETJE::VLASIU | | Mon Feb 12 1990 08:23 | 7 |
| Ref. .1
Sorry, I think I was wrong as it worked for me to access them.
Thank you once again Ed and also all the others who have such nice
initiatives and keep the Amigans interested in their machines.

An update to the POST PostScript interpereter has been made available.
This is version 1.0 and sports a nice Amiga interface and a scrollable
display window. This is a nice little package, but the documentation
seems to assume that the user knows _a lot_ about PostScript.
I STILL can't seem to get any fonts to print, even when trying the
tricks described by Yves Goulnik in 3451.*
If anyone knows exactly how to download the PS fonts, please describe a
step by step process, in painful detail, since I doubt that the average
user will be able to work through this.
The updated file is in TAPE""::USER2:[UPLOAD]POST10.ZIP. I also
uploaded PKAZIP101.LZH, which is needed to unpack it, to the same
location. Sorry about all these insane different archive formats, but
that's how they were uploaded to PLINK. BTW, I really loathe this
PKAZIP archiver. The author created the most miserable Amiga interface
I've ever seen.
Ed.

| Ed,
re:.3 Is this POST02 from the base note or something else?
I was hoping somebody else would work out this issue of the fonts
after I spent a weekend on it. I dragged fonts down from my VAX
system ( figured it was probably deathly illegal so tried them and
then nuked them from my Amiga ), hand patched together a number of
PS files with the prolog stuff from the VAX fonts directory and
managed to print a VAX generated .PS file with everything but the
text ( great arrows, underlines and boxes ).
Just out of curiosity, doesn't ADOBE own the rights to all this
PS stuff? Just wondered how legal a third party PS interpreter was.

Dick: This is an update to the POST02 of .0.
Don't know about the legality of all these PS emulators. However,
Atari have been selling their UltraScript language for a while, which I
believe is a PS clone.
Perhaps it's like the IBM PC BIOS emulators from Phoenix et al... if
you can duplicate the functionality without copying the code, it's
legal.

| 3433.6 | An uploaded related to POST10 and some more | LODGE::LEN | David M. Len | Mon Mar 12 1990 22:53 | 12 |
| Here are a few files I uploaded to TAPE::USER2:[UPLOAD].
PSFONTS.LZH These are some postscript fonts that are
usable with POST viewer.
TRAIN.LZH A little model train simulator. You create
the layout and control 2 trains. Has
switches, cross-overs, and audio.
GAZER2.ARC Constellation viewer. The date in this ARC
is pretty old, but it seems OK for anyone
that doesn't have "Distant Suns".
