4263.0. "Where's the Fred Fish Catalogue?" by CARROL::MELLITZ () Mon Nov 12 1990 17:37

    A while back I thought I saw a note announcing a complete Fred Fish
    Catalog postscript listing on TAPE::[UPLOAD].  I couldn't find it.
    Did it ever get uploaded and put somewhere else?

    	My fault ... I have started to move files out of [upload] and 
    into [amiga...]. I have been trying to some kind of logical directory
    structure.  The Fish list is in [amiga.fish]

4263.2Can anyone help me find the catelogue?SHALOT::DAVISQuality Comes FirstThu Mar 21 1991 09:117
    I tried to find the Fish Catelogue on TAPE::USER2:[AMIGA.FISH] and so
    on but cannot find it anywhere.  I really want the .PS version.  Can
    anyone point me to the right direction.
    
    Thanks,

4263.3USER2 is dead, long live AMIGA...TLE::TLET8::ASHFORTHThe Lord is my lightThu Mar 21 1991 09:517
Yo Jill- you may have missed it, but the Amiga disks were rearranged a little
while back. The root directory of the "main" Amiga tree is now
TAPE::AMIGA:[AMIGA]. The .PS versions of the Fish catalogues are in that
directory.

Cheers,

	Far be it for me to suggest to anyone with a  "Quality"  moto 
that they might prefer something other than what they asked for, 
but... (-:, (-:

	You might like the Aquarium better, I do.

	Somewhere else there's a note that says the fish have gone to

	TAPE::AMIGA:[AMIGA. 'somewhere']

	try 

	$ DIR  TAPE::AMIGA:[AMIGA.*]

	for clues.

Unfortunately, the latest version in the directory is only a partial
    catalogue, and fails part way through when printing on an LPS40.
    Could you delete this version.

4263.7Ok now I think.STAR::ROBINSONThu Apr 04 1991 15:168
     I don't know what happened but I deleted the short version
     and the old version. You should be OK now.
     Curiously, my directory command showed the same file sizes
     etc as 4263.6 but when I deleted it the deleted blocks for
     the "short" file was the large number, 1544 instead of
     what the directory command showed (320 blocks)!

    That's normal.  It simply means that enough blocks were allocated to
    receive the entire file, but only the first 320 blocks actually got
    there.  When the copy spooler (FTSV) is used, it always operates this
    way.  It allocates space for all files first, then works on filling
    in the data.
