>An added advantage of Suitcase is that Font&Sound Valet which is >included with Suitcase will compress your 9MB of fonts down to 5MB. Gag! Wow - how do you get 9 megabytes of fonts? I have TeX on my PC and have only 7.5 megabytes. This includes complete sets of TeX and Latex fonts at 300, 100, 121, and 145 d.p.i. and all Latex fonts at 329, 360, 432, 92, 110, 132, 174, 1270, and several fonts at bigger than 1270. 1270 d.p.i. fonts are BIG - 1270 alone takes 677K, not to mention higher magsteps. These are .pk fonts. Doug McDonald

Wow - how do you get 9 megabytes of fonts? I have TeX on my PC >and have only 7.5 megabytes. This includes complete sets I couldn't resist answering this. I have Blue Sky's entire set of TeX fonts (bitmap) for TeXtures, taking up 23 Mbytes of disk. I suppose it depends what one means by "the full set". I edited the boot blocks of my hard disks using Fedit+ to support more open windows and files. ------------------- W.
