The other day I ftp'd SBTEX 3.0 from vax.eedsp.gatech.edu (130.207.226.2), along with the dvi drivers and CM fonts. I used the dvieps dvi driver to get output for an Epson. But when I printed the .eps file to my Epson EX-1000, it printed everything so tiny. The document was just the SB30.DOC file provided with SBTEX, and I think it used a standard 10pt font, so it shouldn't have printed out that small. Also DVIMAN.LTX and CANON.LTX did the same thing. Has anybody had this problem or know what to do about it. Is there a different driver for the EX-1000? Anything special I have to do with magnifications? (BTW, I used -m603, which according to DVIMAN is supposed to be the right magnification for low-resolution dot-matrix printers. The only problem this caused was font mag 660 was not available, so it used mag 603 instead. If this is the problem, where do I get the mag 660 fonts?) Also, I had lots of memory problems using DVIEPS. I had to remove all my TSR's (cpanel, mouse, a command-line retriever, and himem.sys) to get it to work. This is kind of a hassle. Does anyone have a driver that works better, like one that's been compiled with a 386 compiler and a DOS extender? I have TC++, so I might try to compile the source using VROOM to overlay some sections of the code. Has anybody tried that? Any help is appreciated. Use E-mail. Thanks. Kevin Dietz
