This program seems interesting, and I've actually been looking for something like this for quite awhile now. The problem that I have is that in the chars.s file, I get an error message that says 'Line 179 SEEK_SET undefined". Any clues to what to put down to define it? Unfortunaty, I'm not a C whiz. Has someone else had similar problems, or been successful? Everything else works fine. If anyone has any helpful hint, I would be thankful. Also, my mail seems to be bouncing back from the author of the main note or I would have contacted him directly. Thanks in advance... Andrew Hunt University of Illinois Press (a-hunt2@uiuc.edu)

I have used a mac utility callled "UnAdobe" that uncompresses mac format fonts so that they can be copied to a DOS system. My examination of the results, in comparison to "real" IBM format postscript fonts, reveals a few things. The files are indeed uncompressed, and can be downloaded to a printer using some font download utiltities. Others choke on the fonts. More importantly, and the purpose of my post, it would appear that somewher in the translation process a string of rogue carriage returns seem to have crept in. My question is, are the problems that I sometimes have with downloading and other things, a result of the fact that they are uncompressed, or the stray carriage return/line feeds? And secondly, is it possible to write a utility that would "re-compress" the fonts? ======================================================================== Adam Smith Genius - Graphic Artist - Bad Mood Guy The Chameleon Papers Vancouver, BC CANADA "Human beings are a great disappointment to me and it doesn't help one bit that I am one."

The latter is probably the preferred option and I only mention the former in case you're missing the include file James Ashton.
