GeoLaser doesn't seem to support postscript support as far as I can tell. Perhaps some more info on this postscipt. With your regular word processors, postscript meant that you entered codes for your formatting. Perhaps we are talking about something different on the laser printer? With GeoLaser, it only prints 75DPI on the HP LaserJet II. But with an Apple Laser (or whatever the apple word for it is called), it supports 300 DTI. If I am not mistaken, isn't the HP LaserJet II only good up to 300 DPI? Or can this be expanded? I believe Word Perfect only prints out to the Laser at 300 DPI too. Also Word Star 5.5 the same.

Msg 42425 is 30 line(s) on 09/02/89 from BRENT JONES to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/PRODIGY WARNING Ward, I sent the following message out on CompuServe (IBMCOM Forum): I would recommend that you definitely try out Prodigy. It is not as zippy as BBS or CompuServe but this is due to the high use of graphics. To see color you need EGA, but the monochrome CGA on my Toshiba 1200F looks pretty good. The price is definitely right-$9.95 per MONTH -not $12.50 per hours like Compu$erve (as some spell it). Draw backs 1) little 3 line graphics ads on each screen-but you have about that much in a magazine 2) slow response time-what do you expect with PCs at 2400 baud and 8088/6 chips [I have to admit that the "mainframe" used by IBM and Sears sure acts like a Commodore 64 acting as a file server for 100 terminals, but lets give them a chance to speed it up over the next year before we finally judge. The Prodigy kit costs $39.99 (mine was $42.69 after the state of IL took their "cut") but this includes 3 months of free service. You buy it at Sears. I wish that I could have gotten one of the free kits but I wanted to get on-line as soon as I could. Finally, I do not work for IBM, Sears or have anything to gain from your use of Prodigy. But don't criticize it until you have spent some time giving it a try. There is a PC Club by the way. The kit is returnable for a full refund within 30 days. ================== I got this nasty reply [I hope he isn't a SYSOP] #: 156119 (P) S8/Village Inn [C] 01-Sep-89 21:51:04 Sb: #155768-Prodigy Fm: Jay T.

But more important is the sheer inappropriateness of your unsolicited "ad", for a competing service, yet!

Now FidoNet is talking about having 100,000 nodes in a few years. (I must say, however, that there has been progress in the user-intce area since you began.) Msg 42430 is 18 line(s) on 09/03/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to TIM FAIRBANK re: R/THE FATHER OF THE BBS Yep! I know there's been progress on the user interface. I nearly GAG when I call a "modern BBS". CBBS' principles of "no centering, no lines of dashes, no lines of *'s, no "cutesie" things, makes me nearly CHOKE at all the "garbage" the more "modern" BBSs throw at you. There's a MIDI BBS in the Chicago area which I plan to call (for the 2nd time - now that I'm registered). and I had to force myself, several times, to NOT just hang up on it for the ton of junk that is thrown at the user. I guess an inexperienced user, willing to spend 20 minutes on the phone and suck down several "K" of lines of asterisks, "pretty formatting" etc will do well with the modern BBS's, but give me one like CBBS, or Compuserve, which can "darn near" be kept from giving you any "trash", and I'll prefer it a LOT. But then again I guess it is mostly a matter of familiarity - once you get to know a system, etc, it can be more efficiently handled. One other think, was that that BBS didn't "respond" like CBBS does - to ^S and other things - it was like driving an automatic transmission from the back seat, rather than CBBS which I liken more to a sports car - including the quirks. ;-) Msg 42431 is 02 line(s) on 09/03/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to STEVE FARMILANT re: BBS LIST You asked "Have you dc/d the bulliten (sic) board list?". Beats me, I hope not! What is "dc/d"? Msg 42432 is 30 line(s) on 09/03/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to BRENT JONES re: R/PRODIGY WARNING Ooh, what you did was in poor taste - not your Prodigy message - for there is nothing more useful than someone "talking up" something they like!, but rather that you - I'm presuming without permission - took a PRIVATE message to you on Compuserve and are "blabbing" it on CBBS. ;-) There have been discussions on Compuserve about private messages, and the concensus was that the person made it (P) for a reason, and therefore if the recipient would like to share it with someone else, they should get the original messager's permission (but not a big deal). P.S. if the guy WAS a sysop, he'd have a 76703 or other "fairly well known" sysop account (I'm 76703,302). Not to worry! If there's one thing about BBSs, it is the unfailing right of its users to express their opinions, and for that matter to ACCEPT feedback from others. Matter of fact, > I < would have jumped down the throat (nicely, like I'm doing to you about private msgs) saying I was just expressing an opinion, and blow away his "general opinion that it was useless". Anyone who thinks that Prodigy is a competitor for Compuserve doesn't know what it is. It is specifically NOT going to allow file transfers, for example. I also don't think I'm going to be doing any grocery shopping on Compuserve - at least in the near future - while I might be doing so on Prodigy. I have yet to try my Prodigy kit - because I have a COM3: modem until my it-was-lost-for-2-months-in-UPS 9600 external comes back. I > think < I can just patch the BIOS area to put the COM3: addresses in where COM1 is, and then fire up Prodigy. I'm just sad that my commo system has only CGA (for who needs more for text applications) won't work well in the graphically-oriented Prodigy setup. Stick by your guns! Leave a PUBLIC message to Blocksom saying you have your right to express your opinion, and while I'd not use these words, the inclination I have is to say "the majority be damned". ;-) Msg 42433 is 09 line(s) on 09/03/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: LPTN VS LPTN:? Gee, I ran into a strange one Friday! I was installing the latest software for a local are network with a postscript printer. When I copied a Postscript file from a user to the file server via LPT2, it failed, causing the printer to have to be reset by copying a null file to its adapter (EPT). When I copied the same file to LPT2: (note the ":"), it worked fine. The problem was reproducable! Lpt2 always failed, lpt2: always worked! Anyone have any ideas on this? Might this be a bug in the local area network software, which supplies the LPT2 intercept? Strange! Msg 42434 is 10 line(s) on 09/03/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: LINE NOISE & 9600S My 9600 baud modems have been found (one for CBBS). It was in an obscure corner of UPS, due to some kind of UPS problem, the labels had gotten unreadable, etc. Randy tracked them down and just heard from them. I apologize for the terrible line noise - at least I see it here a lot. Remember, CBBS has a "full line" editor ala wordstar, with word right, word left, char insert (inserts a space, doesn't go "into" insert mode though), char delete, etc. Makes it easy to correct any line you've gotten botched. Use the "FULL" command at the command level. Also, when you get into message entry, the "E" command will put you in this full LINE edit mode, not just the old mode where you get to do character substitutions.

If so it supports 300 DPI when printing thru the serial port to An Apple Laser printer. You should contact Berkley but it should work with another Postscript compatible Laser printer when using serial ports. I assume when you use the regular LJ it emulates a dot matrix printer with this program and so 75 DPI makes sense.

I had some problems, since my modem is on COM3, but I was able to find where to put in a 1-byte patch so COM1: is really COM3:. So far, I'm pleased with what I see, but would MUCH rather be running it on an EGA or VGA. My commo system is strictly CGA, because I've never had reason to upgrade it - I have a VGA on a fast 286 for "graphics" ;-) Msg 42438 is 06 line(s) on 09/03/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN to WARD re: LPT2 Were you just using COMMAND.COM (i.e. "COPY") or some program that came with the network? What's done at the interrupt level shouldn't matter as the name is immaterial at that point. It's possible that the network is putting LPT2: (but not plain LPT2) in its redirection list, with the result that LPT2: goes out the network, but LPT2 doesn't get intercepted and is treated as the local printer.

I want to be able to get various infor- mation about the network environment, but I need these routines to be directly callable from a Turbo C 2.0 program. If anyone knows of a list of these functions, please leave a message to me here. Thanks Jim Polous Msg 42440 is 02 line(s) on 09/04/89 from RICHARD HINTON to BRENT JONES re: R/PRODIGY-REACTIONS TO?

I used to work with Janine, and once looked at your 68S system and advised on upgrade options. Did you ever get that worked out? Hope so. Leave me a message. Steve Cohen. dup. chars. >Function:?
