[comp.sys.atari.st] Query: TINY pictures and speed-ups for desktop publishing

wyant@eplrx7.UUCP (wyant) (01/28/89)

   Is it possible to import TINY pictures into either PUBLISHER ST or
PAGESTREAM without converting them first?  The predecessor to PAGESTREAM
was claimed to handle TINY pictures, but PUBLISHER and PAGESTREAM are
unclear on this issue.  Also, the bugs in the early versions of
PAGESTREAM precluded me from trying such an import.

   Considering how slow PUBLISHER ST is, would one of the GEM accelerators
improve its performance?  It requires almost 10 minutes to produce one
page on a 24 pin printer (it looks real good though), and I was wondering
if G+DOS or TURBO ST would substantially improve the printing speed.

   Thank you for any comments.
