I just heard that there is yet another Prosel-16 upgrade: we are now up to version 8.55. I just got done updating to v8.54 three weeks ago! Does anyone have the rundown on what the changes are (from AO? or Genie?) and how (if the changes are significant) I may obtain an update script. Thanks in advance, Dale LaFountain prophet@oxy.edu P.S. Thanks to all who sent responses about my HD problems. It turned out to be an error in the SCSI.Manager that I hadn't seen before. The new drivers on system 5.03 seem to have solved the problem. P.P.S. Check out the new ImageWriter driver on System 5.03. It is FAST!!! Nearly as fast as text when in draft mode (well, ... almost).

Check out the times: 5 min 35 secs to print out on Best Quality a one-page AWGS page layout document with the old driver. Using the new ImageWriter 4.0 driver, only 2 min 44 secs!!! If the driver printed bi-directionally, that would probably shave another 25% off the time! Fascinating watching it work... "Allocating memory", "Positioning print head", "Rendering page image" <- I like that one! \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ | Brian T.

I'll have to benchmark it at TransWarp speeds! / \ / / ______________________________________________________ \\\' , / // ProLine: pro-beagle!lhaider \\\//, _/ //, INET: lhaider@pro-beagle.cts.com \_-//' / //<, /\\ UUCP: crash!pro-beagle!lhaider \ /// <//` //\\\ ARPA: crash!pro-beagle!lhaider@nosc.mil / >> \\\`__/_ ///\\\\ /,)-^>> _\` \\\ ////\\\\\ The opinions expressed here belong to (/ \\ /\\\ // IIgs \\\ no entity(s), living or dead! // _//\\\\ ------------------------------------------------------ ((` ((
