| 4045.1 | a workaround | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Fri Aug 24 1990 08:58 | 5 |
| I assume you are referring to Dr. T's "The Copyist DTP". I have had
it fail when the key disk is not in the drive when I start the program.
If I remember to put the key disk in the drive first, it works OK for
me.

| I definately have the key disk in the drive before the program starts. The
same problem occurs when I try to start the program off of the floppy.

| I also found out about another Copyist problem. It seems that the
paranoids at Dr. T's have coded the thing so that blocks of code
have to have a bit mask xor before they can execute. This seems to
have been done to prevent disassembly. That works fine and dandy in
a 68000 but as soon as you go to machines with instruction caches you
get a royal Edward the II special.

| 4045.4 | works on 68020 | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Tue Aug 28 1990 16:26 | 2 |
| It seems to work fine on my A2620-equipped Amiga 2000.

| 4045.5 | How much better is it than PROFESSIONAL? | GOBAMA::WILSONTL | Tony, the HOSS TRUMPET | Fri Aug 31 1990 15:01 | 4 |
| To change the subject only slightly...I'm considering upgrading to that
package. How's the PostScript output? My mechanism would be to
produce the files and print them on an LPS20.

| 4045.6 | looks fine; Sonata uploading problems | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Fri Aug 31 1990 17:24 | 11 |
| I think the PostScript output looks great. It uses Adobe's Sonata(tm)
font, which is included. You will have to modify the font file a bit,
because of using it on a shared printer (you can't install the font
permanently, which is the default) but a minor bit of PostScript
munging should get you there. Note that the font file is difficult
to upload because it uses bare <CR> characters to delimit lines.
This works fine when sent to a printer, but isn't so good when
trying to upload a text file. Just convert the <CR>s to <LF>s
with a simple program (and while you're at it, break up the very long
lines) and it should upload with no problems.
