I use PC-DOS 3.30, and I've found that it's possible to get D: and E:
on the first drive, and F: and G: on the second, and it's also possible
to get D: and F: on the first drive, and E: and G: on the second. (For
me, C: is a floppy drive. I won't go into the difficulty I have with
brain-damaged programs which assume that my hard disk is drive C. Let
me just say that if you've written such a program, I'll find you and...)
The trick is that all standard DOS partitions are assigned letters
before any logical drives in extended DOS partitions. If I create a
standard 32MB partition on my first drive, and a 32MB extended
partition (with one 32MB logical drive within,) and a standard 32MB
partition on my second drive, and a 10MB extended partition (with one
10MB logical drive within,) I get D: and F: on the first drive, and E:
and G: on the second. If I change the second drive to contain a single
42MB extended partition (divided into a 32MB logical drive, and a 10MB
logical drive,) I get D: and E: on the first drive, and F: and G: on
the second.

From: Curt Priest <BMSLIB@mitvma.mit.edu>
Subject: Postscript Viewer (V91 #29)
The inquiry in Digest #29 was looking for a way to view postscript
files prior to printing. Since Postscript is a high level language
this is about 8/10 of building a postscript printer.
There is a new product out by Inset Systems called HiJaak PS which
claims it will convert Postscript output to a 200 dpi file compatible
with 10 fax formats (presumably meaning at least one is PCX). So you
can use this program to produce a bit image file that you can then view
using any number of viewers.
The discount price for the product is $189 and I am in no way
affiliated with Inset Systems

Hello. I am interested in obtaining a copy of the Remote Access
bulletin board system from somewhere using FTP. But I haven't been
able to find it. If anyone knows where I can find a copy, please drop
me a note.
Thanks!

Subject: QMS 800+ printer in H-P mode
Is anyone using a QMS 800+ printer in H-P emulation mode with
downloadable fonts?
The question is not whether it's possible -- but whether YOU are
actually doing it with this specific machine in this mode. My problem
is with downloadable fonts (not the built-in fonts).
Thanks.

Subject: Two displays from one computer
A colleague doing psychological research would like to have one
monitor for subjects to watch, and a second for the experimenter. Any
suggestions about the easiest and cheapest way to achieve two identical
displays from one IBM machine would be appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: Designing Fonts Similar to Borlands Pascal or C
please, Does anyone have any information about the fonts that are
in borland products like pascal or C?
I want to design my own font that could be enlarged (stroked font) using
turbo C or pascal but I don't have any information about that...
some one told me that there is a utilitys exist in compuserv to do that
but since I'm in Saudi Arabia I have no mean to link to compuserv. I'm
asking if the fond descriptions exist in a book or can anyone give me a
description of it? If any one has this utility or information, please
send it to me either by mail or if possible via bitnet.
looking to hear from someone soon.....thanx bye.
