RE: printers (Re: Msg 91088)
From: TIMKIENTZLE To: MARTYGOODMAN
>Which lazy printer is that that has visible errors in its
>bit map for its fonts???? I'm curious!
Not errors in the bit map fonts, but rather a bug in one low-level
PostScript operator (imagemask) that is used for rendering certain
Type 3 PostScript fonts. The bug is that bitmaps of certain sizes
are positioned a single pixel too high or a single pixel to the
right of where they should be. This isn't a problem for the normal
PostScript Type 1 fonts, but does effect the ouput of `DVIPS' which
converts TeX output into PostScript by utilizing PS Type 3 fonts.
The printer is the Abaton LaserScript LX. I bout it about three years
ago, when it was the cheapest printer I could find that had a variety
of ports (Mac AppleTalk, Parallel, and serial), and PostScript support.
Of course, now you can buy comparable printers with true Adobe Level 2
PostScript interpreters for around $700, as opposed to the $1000 I
paid for mine. Not much of an issue, since Abaton went out of business
about a year later; it's remaining assets were sold to Everex, which
promptly killed most of the products.

RE: Tex (Re: Msg 91438)
From: TIMKIENTZLE To: MRGOOD
Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. I've been putting
in 60-70 hour weeks finishing my book, but it's done and sent to
the printers now, so I have a bit of a respite. (For those interested,
the initial work on ``The Working Programmer's Guide to Serial Protocols''
was all done on an MM/1 using the TeX system in the database here.
During the last weeks, I did switch to a Unix workstation that had
more memory and a much faster processor, but there's no reason the final
typography couldn't have been done on an MM/1.)
Anyway, back to your questions...
If you're a true purist, picking a good mode requires a fair bit of work.
For starters, pick any mode that has the right resolution (360 x 360 in
your case). Once you've used it a while, pay careful attention to certain
letters, especially lowercase letters at small sizes. Is the lowercase
`o' clearly round? Does the lowercase `e' tend to fill in at small sizes?
Depending on the answers, you might want to adjust `blacker,' `fillin,' and
`o_correction.' But that's something to worry about much later...
Try running `testpage.tex' through LaTeX to see if your margins and page
position are correct. Adjust the page position win DVIPS's `config.ps' file.
If the size is off, then you may have a tougher time. If you're using
GhostScript to print, then GhostScript is responsible for making sure the
page overall is the right size. If the page is the right size (many
TeX and LaTeX docs use enormous margins. There are good reasons for using
large margins, but I won't go into that here.), but the letters are too
small, then that's a problem with DVIPS and/or the mode. If you're
using a 360x180 mode, then the letters will end up about half the height
they should. Use a 360 by 360 mode, and tell DVIPS the resolution is
`360'. (If you're using a printer that has different vertical and horizontal
resolutions, you need to use different options to DVIPS to tell it the
different resolutions.) At some point, you should print out the
DVIPS manual, it makes interesting reading... <grin>
After you use it for a while, you'll notice that MetaFont gets invoked
very infrequently. I started from scratch with my Unix box, and after just
a few weeks of heavy use, I rarely see MetaFont run. The fonts I use
regularly have all been rendered.
Thanks for the kudos. Now that I have some more time, I'll hopefully be
able to finally package up the source to that TeX system and post it here.
Not for the faint of heart, believe me... <grin>
I've been using this OS9 TeX system for three years, and continually refining
it. If you get a chance in a bookstore, look at my book; I use TeX a LOT.
<grin> Have fun, and feel free to ask questions. I don't get on as much
as I used to, but JOHNREED is pretty knowledgable.

RE: VT100 Help (Re: Msg 91034)
From: TIMKIENTZLE To: BOISY
I don't know if I have anything electronic here. Hmmm... Maybe
someone could photoccopy the back pages from the V-Term manual
for you? That will get you started. There are a lot of ins and outs,
though. Here's a couple for you:
* Line wrapping. The VT100 does something quite clever at the end of a
line. If the cursor is at the right edge, and a character arrives,
the character is printed, but the CURSOR DOES NOT MOVE. When the
next character arrives, the cursor moves to the next line, that character
is printed, and the cursor moves to the second column. Notice two things:
first, the cursor is never actually displayed in the first column when
this happens. Second, there are two different situations where the cursor
is in the last column. Internally, what many people do is move the cursor
to the `81st column' but display it in the 80th. (The original VT100 had
a bug where the cursor would sometimes be in the 81st column when it shouldn't.)
Oh, yeah. The reason the VT100 does this strange line wrapping is so
that you can print a character in the lower right-hand corner without
scrolling the screen; you just have to reposition the cursor immediately
afterward.
* Be careful about border cases and large arguments. People do sometimes
issue Cursor Up commands with argument of 100. Make sure you do the right
thing (Play with V-Term, which I think handles those situations correctly;
Eddie and I spent a LONG time researching these details.) I can't remember
what the right thing is right now, but those details are not all obvious
(for example, I seem to recall that a backspace does NOT wrap to the
previous line).
Hope this helps,
Tim

That's one little gotcha I've noticed on my computer (and I think either
OSTerm or SuperComm did it too.. they wrap to the previous line. On my
local BBS, at the end of a screenful, it issues a prompt, then apparently
about 150 _EXTRA_ BS's... it messes up what you're trying to read badly.

RE: download (Re: Msg 91522)
From: TIMKIENTZLE To: WA2EGP
Double check that you have enough memory. I've heard rumours that
OS9 doesn't always size memory correctly, so it's possible that
TeX is allocating memory that you don't have. Initex, especially,
requires a hefty chunk of memory. When I started working with it
on my 3 meg MM/1, I had to strip my boot a bit and be pretty careful
about what I had in memory. I still have to sometimes reboot
because memory fragmentation won't let Initex run.
How far does it get? Initex plain spits out quite a bit to the
console. Does it manage to build the log file? As someone else
mentioned, memory constraints may force you to run some things
manually instead of using the batch file. Especially if you're
in the habit of opening a lot of shell windows on an MM/1 or
leaving `cron' or other background programs running, you may have
to edit down your Startup, maybe trim your boot, and reboot to
get it to run. (Fortunately, `virtex' is just a tad leaner than
Initex, but it's still tight.)

No! The videos do not require a double speed drive. My Memorex (the orig

OK.. From what you said, I thought you were a little dissatisfied with
your typing. What I meant was that it was not entirely necessary to
have had typing in High School, as apparently you have demonstrated.

If you can type in that range, you're doing as well as I am. This is
sufficient for my usage, of course I suppose a person would always like

OK - the UK DELPHI is the United Kingdom Delphi section. From

Yes, this is very similar to the old Boston and Kansas City regional
sections of Delphi. As a matter of fact, they can still be accessed,
but there isn't a menu item for them (another one of those hidden-menu
items people were mentioning). Just type 'delphi' at the main menu to
access Boston or Kansas City. Unfortunately, they removed Miami and
Argentina which were both Spanish systems, so I no longer have the

Hi John!

Here's the entire skinny. It's the header part of 'Waves' the IFF sound
file editor.
header dc.b "FORM"
size2 dc.l 0
dc.b "8SVXVHDR"
dc.l 20
bytes1 dc.l 0
dc.l 0
dc.l 0
speed dc.l 0
dc.l 0
dc.b "ANNO"

dc.b "Saved with WAVESvr1.5"
dc.b " 1993 by HAWKSoft "
dc.b "CHAN"
dc.l 4
mono2 dc.l 2
dc.b "BODY"
bytes2 dc.l 0
The sound data follows, with it's size in 'bytes2' and 'bytes1'. The 'size2'
is the size of the file including the header.

The reason why you'd set the freq to 1/2 is the sound must've been saved
as a mono file... _ss_play wants to play the sound in stereo (so it eats
up 2 bytes in the time it should only eat up one). If you want to use
the correct frequency, you need to let _ss_play know it's a monographic
sound. Do this by setting the 0x0001 bit in the 'flag' parameter of
_ss_play, like this:
#include <sound.h>
_ss_play(path,snddata,sndlength,freq,SND_NOSIG|0x0001,0); for no signal
_ss_play(path,snddata,sndlength,freq,SND_SENDSIG|0x0001,sigvalue); for a signal

So, it looks like the header can be variable in size to allow for
comments, etc.? Does it appear that the speed (frequency) offset
remains constant, irregardless of the header size?

Thanks Joel,
I am adding sound to KTerm, so far I have the freq hard coded and it is
looking great. But I want the user to be able to change the sound files
if he want to and you can't do that very well if the freq is hardcoded.

RE: IFF Sound (Re: Msg 91854)
From: BOISY To: VAXELF
John,
The new version of LinkUp uses a separate process to play the sound,
and it works quite well. The sound player is based on A.J.'s sound
C sources, and plays .wav, .iff, .au and .voc files. The files on LinkUp
are configurable, so the user can specify any sound file to play for a
particular event, as long as it's one of the 4 types above.
This player also uses events so that if multiple copes if it are running,
only one will play sound at a time. This keeps two sounds from coming
in at the same time.

I believe so. The only section I've seen that varies is 'ANNO' (tation).
That's why it's size is in the next four bytes. (Mine is 40 bytes)<or is it
44??>

Revised Late Night Schedule
From: THETAURUS To: ALL
After last nights conference, I have gotten a couple additions
to the Feb/Mar schedule(note correct spelling Ken :-) ). Next
weeks Open Conference will be changed to to 'Termcap Part II'
which will be the second part to Joel's discussion on the use of
Termcaps. The Open Forum on March 6th will be replaced by
Northern Xposures second conference on Nitros9. Colin expect the
latest and greatest to be out right around that time, give or take
a little. I'm looking forward to both of these, and hope we get a
good turnout, which I don't doubt we will, since both of them were
biggies in the past. I will tack on the revised schedule below.
OS-9 Late Night
Conference Schedual
For February AND March
Date Time(EST) Topic
February 06, 1995 10:00 PM Goals for '95
This is a continuation of our '95 Preview conference.
Write up some ideas you have that you think we as the the
OS9 UG Community should start tackling!
February 13, 1995 10:00 PM Termcap Part II W/Joel
Hegberg
This will be the continuation of Joel's previous
discussion on the use of Termcaps on the the OS-9 based
machines.
February 20, 1995 10:00 PM Programming
This is another OS-9 Programming conference. Discussion
will be open to anything related to programming for the OS-9
Operating System. This should be a good night for Q&A among
the developers.
February 27, 1995 10:00 PM Open Forum
March 06,1995 10:00 PM NitrOS9 W/Northen Xposure
Colin McKay will again return to fill us in on the latest
upgrades and additions to Northern Xposure's popular NitrOS9
Speedup package. This is what you will need to take full
advantage of that 6309 chip!
March 13, 1995 10:00 PM OS-9 UG Library
I'll be discussing my first project I'm starting for the
OS-9 Users Group, which will be the OS-9 Information Center.
This will consist of various databases covering such ground
as a userlist,Vendor base, Club and BBSlistings, as well as
many other important pieces of information to the
community.More information will also be available in a
future MOTD issue.
March 20, 1995 10:00 PM The BBS Edition
This will be a great opportunity for BBS Sysops as well as
software programmers to attend and share their views about
running a system and developing as well as telling a little
about their respective systems.
March 27, 1995 10:00 PM OS-9 Clubs and User
Groups
Similar to the above conference, yet this is an invitation
to members of local Coco Clubs and OS-9 UG's who wish to
describe how their club operates and perhaps what can be
done to improve the small club scene in local areas.
Plus more may be announced in the near future. Topics are
subject to change when necessary.

Coment on comentary
From: MRUPGRADE To: ALL
I realesaed thius to internet,,, and didn't want y'all to feel left out.
Comments on Comentary. Terry Simons UPGRADE Editor
Within the UPGRADE readership,,, I hear more "keep up the good
work", comments or their equivilant, then anything else. But I'd
suppose that may be expected. Most Coco leaders within their
readership, or group will experience much of the same. But for about
the last 4 of my 11 years with MI&CC, I've strived to be more
supportive of the "whole community". For two reasons. One to have a
strong group, needs diversity. The other, as a national magazine, you
just cannot provide a full community picture, from one group, or part
of the community. Many of the tips, and happenings, come from Delphi,
Internet, other magazines and sources. Any one will give you a nice
view of that "spot in the woods". I'm more interested in "looking at
the forest".
Consequently we've been first a more then a few times:
From the days of before many of you can remember, as a dealer
I had #0002 - #0008 of "Worksaver Plus" (stil compat to CC3)
First to announce the upgrade of MAX I to II
I remember the call to our local RS Computer center, when I
said, "I got dibbs"! RE, "Dibbs on what"? I sez,,, "Dibbs
on the first Coco 3 to hit Des Moines". To which he
responded (grin), "OK, when are they comming out"?
First to announce the MAX II patch for the CoCo III
(I still have #0002 of that patch)
First W/Rick's purchase of CoCo PRO software (even before CFDM)
First to announce Rick's purchase of Sundog (also before CDFM)
First to anounce the CoCo 2 Emulator, nationally
Second only after Internet on the CoCo 3 Emulator.
(though the first to announce it accurately)
First to anounce UPTIMES subscribers moved to '68 Micros
(smile) ahead of '68 micros))
First with a variety of articles reprinted in Clipboard, and
more recently UPTIMES, & '68 micros
These are just what hit my foggy memory, without looking. The
UPGRADE Magazine couldn't stay on the cuting edge, with my head in the
sand, or one group. Yet, now and then I hear some of my ideas are
considered,,, a bit far out. Perhaps it is others who should look
around. Or let me ask? Am I wrong in this:
Not feeling the need to kiss up, to get paying advertisers, I will
anounce to our readership the unfortunate loss or poor preformance by
vendors. (BTW: paying advertisers have been rarer then "hens teeth",
for all CoCo Mags since Rainbow)
With no disrespect to Chris Burke; many like myself were upset by
the loss of his products, not necessarily at him. And "prior to his
announcement" we did tell our readers sending checks, in response to
his ads placed in other magazines was usless. Which it was. Also
after complaints we had to warn of disapointment, if they respond to
other magazines ads for the OS Underground. Ya see, they expect to
see some sort of regulariety, and the ad doesn't say,,, "on occassions
it gets published". Yes, I give the truth both ways.
I just will not join the band wagons, asking users to send money
because it's (gulp) good support for the community? You see what I'm
trying to do here is "protect you vendors who do fill orders or answer
mail as to why or when". Or would you prefer more users just quite
ordering from anyone, as many have already? Yet, our magazine
devotes, ten or more times the space to a "May we recommend" column
and other good product anouncements. That I never hear mentioned in
public SIGs.
My OS-9 views: It is "my opinion":
that there are number in the OS-9 leadership that would like to
pretend that OS-9 is all there is on the CoCo. And what's more it's
the comming wave to the future for hobby use. And further to support
OS-9 you must both use it, and agree with their ideals. Otherwise
you're hurting OS-9.
I strongly disagree with that entire paragraph. First off, I've
headed a group that has had FOUR local supporting members, graduate to
"Working for Microware". (not to include James & Boisy, who came from
outside our area) That's a pretty poor job of knocking it down. I
have never used it,, yet have always felt it's a tremendeous education
tool, for those who choose. ergo the group I head does,support OS-9.
Granted within an OS group or area, it can seem all Coco is OS-9.
And unfortunately some goups have failed to continue support for
RSDOS. Consquuently those "would be" members fade away. erog,,, (in
a deep voice) "everyone I know uses OS-9". Which is by no means the
CoCo Community. But OS-9 is the only market? Try telling that to
Rick Cooper. But then he does make a serious marketing effort.
The wave of the furture for Coco or hobby users? Hardly. With
OS-9 vendors dropping like flies in the late fall, I doubt any false
prop-up from me would make a differance. OSK/ MM/1 variety? I can
understand Dave Graham, is supporting what market there is, as best he
can. And for the guy who wants to hack in OS-9, it's a hackers dream,
without a $6,000+ price tag. (far less) But to be a wave of the
future, it first has to catch the popular eye. Without Support, I
don't see much chance of it. My temptation is to say, "neither is AM
radio isn't comming back", but that is a poor analogy.
Because I do agree, after talking with professional programmers,
system analists, etc,, OS-9 (OSK) truely is superior in efficiency to
the "popular" Systems of today. It makes MSDOS, WINDOZ, etc, look
like a giant snail. Which is no doubt why, Microware has strong
inroads to "industrial use". I personally think the need for 8 Meg
RAM and 100 Meg HD's in the home are a joke. Resulting from poor
computer architechture, and programming. But if one is to learn
anything from this, it is that: what is most efficient and what is
supported,, thus usable, are unfortunately not the same.
If these be the opinions those in some circles get upset with, I
won't appoligize for being a realist. It is this kind of crazy
thinking that has put and kept The UPGRADE on the cuting edge within
the CoCo Community. Though granted,,, some disagree with <grin> the
direction of they slice.
To accept a different view as denial of one's own, is human nature.
Which brings to mind an older addage. To error is human.

Frank,
Delphi has a downlevel version of Netscape for the PC and the MAC available in
the Internet database along with the Trumpet Winsock (some socket program is
necessary to run Netscape). However, Netscape requires a SLIP/PPP connection
obtained from your local Internet provider. At present, I know of no WWW

numbers will come in handy if I have any other problems.

RE: hard drive jumpers (Re: Msg 91865)
From: WA2EGP To: COCOKIWI
Well, my drive has only five jumper positions. Turns out the first two toward
the SCSI connector have to be connected or the drive doesn't spin. The others
are for the ID. Turns out the jumper was not making contact even though it was
on the pins. A little "modifying" got it to work OK. Unforch, the pins are
smaller than what the more common jumpers will handle so I had a little work
(little in both senses of the word) to do rather than hop down to the local
electronics store and buy some jumpers. I did get it to work and it is
holding up so far. Thanks for the help. I'm saving your info for future
reference.

uuencode problem?
From: PAGAN To: ALL
Has anyone here had a problem with .uue files being mangled by Delphi's
mail system? I sent three programs to chestnut in .uue format and
the sysadmin couldn't get them translated and one person who D/led the
.uue file the same problem. I cold "get" them to Delphi and Download
with no problem.

This tells me that you uploaded these files to your workspace
in Binary format and not as ASCII. You _have_ to use ASCII to your
Workspace for this to work. Delphi encodes _all_ 8 bit binary files
that you upload to your workspace.. to save space.
The `problem' is, that when you send one of these `Delphi encoded'
files out of the Delphi system, they are Still encoded. :(
Soooo, the short story is, ASCII upload to your workspace, then `put'
that out to the `net. Delphi does know about the problem and is working
on a `fix... someday soon I'm hope'n. :)
If you want the whole story, go to the Internet Sig database, there's
a few Faq's files that are real good reading.
Later...

I'll second that! Our Incredible Universe near Portland, Or.

We have both in Portland.

$175 is a reasonable price for something like that, if it
has a new CRT tube. Especially given the limited market
for monitors with that specific capability.

OS-9 Late Night Reminder
From: THETAURUS To: ALL
This is just a reminder that THIS Monday, February 27th at 10:00
PM Eastern Time, Joel Matthew Hegberg will be hosting the
rescheduled 'Termcapsg Part II' discussion. So don't be shy, if
you are a Termcaps enthusiast, stop by and learn from one of the
communities best known programmers. That is, if Delphi let's us
in...<grin>
P.S. The week following, on March 06, 10:00 Pm Eastern time,
Colin McKay will online representing his business, Northern
Exposure. He will be discussing to new release of Nitros9(v1.21).
Nitros9, for those who don't know, is a complete update and in
many cases a rewrite of the stock OS-9 system that puts it in the
6309 native mode. This is what will allow your Coco to reach the
speeds that the 6309 is capable( a very considerable speed
increase).
See Ya

BOYCOTT THE NY TIMES
From: BILLCONDIE To: ALL
The NY Times did it again yesterday . . . an article in the Business
Section on Cyberspace Security talks about "commercial networks like America
Online, Compuserve and Prodigy" as if Delphi did not exist.
I think I've seen Delphi mentioned once in the past six months, and it's
a shame because I find their computer coverage excellent.
I'd like to send the self-styled "newspaper of record" a petition
denouncing this policy -- is it anti-Murdoch perhaps? -- so E-Mail me if
you support the idea.

>>is it anti-Murdoch perhaps?<<
I doubt it. Even the 'Boston Herald' which is the Murdoch owned
paper makes little mention of Delphi in there Computer and Telecom
type articles. I think the main mention comes in the Email
addresses of the paper and it's editors. I guess we can't accuse
Rupert of overusing his paper for self promotion (G).

IFF Sounds
From: VAXELF To: JOELHEGBERG
Joel,
Thnaks for the tips on the IFF sound files. I now have them working
real good in the new Beta Version of KTerm. If beta testing proves out,
the new KTerm will be ready for Chicago Fest.
I also hope to have Ribbs_OSK ready at that time too. Beta testing on it
is also coming along great.

Graphics on the Internet!
From: 01GEN40 To: ALL
I have no cursor to guide me through this, so please excuse any
and all mistakes I may make in this info request! I still have not
figured out why I keep loosing my cursor, oh well!
I am finding myself spending more and more time on the Internet.
I find it a very facinating place to spend my 20 hours on Delphi.
What I would like to know, is my trusty CoCo limited to TEXT ONLY
on the Internet, ie: WWW, or is there a way to view graphics and
such? Since I am a highly devoted STAR TREK fan (Trekker), I have
been spending a lot of time at 'paramount.com' on the WWW. I would
like to be able to view their graphics. Oh, just in case there may
be other Trekkers out here, they can be reached by:
httl://voyager.paramount.com
When you reach their Home Page, Y
you... See what I mean! Rats, where is my cursor?!?!
When you reach their Home Page, you awaken in the Sickbay of the
USS Voyager. Doctor (Zimmermann) gives you a quick intro and tells
you to report back to him (it) for evaluation for re-instatement to
active duty...
I would also like to know if someone here can contact Colin McKay
and find out if he is in fact the "Colin McKay" I saw in the"Honor-
ary Crew Members" list. And, if so, how did he get his name on their
list.
Also, to any of you in the Southern California area, there is a Star
Trek convention in San Diego on March 4, Saturday from 11:00AM to
6:00PM. I will be there, in uniform, as a Vulcan CMDR named Siran.
Any info to my quest will be greatly appreciated. See ya among the
stars!
LONG LIVE OS-9! <FOREVER> ** In whatever form it is in!

BStart.a
From: VAXELF To: ALL
I found a module on the MM/1 disks called "cstart.a" . After looking
at this I have determined that this must be the assemble code for CSTART.R
that all C programs use.
I am attempting to come up with a way to make Basic Subroutine Modules
by writing them in C. I changed the psect in the cstart.a to be a
subroutine and then renamed the module BSTART.A
When I try and compile this with a simple Hello C program, I get the
following error from the linker.
error - Initialized data (or jumptable) allowed only on program or
trap handler modules.
Is what I am attempting to do possible???
