I know that this subject has been discussed before in one of these two newsgroups, but I still can't get OPUS to allow me to make charts. I have saved the messages concerning OPUS installation, all to no avail! I have run ASSIGNER.PRG which built me the ASSIGN.SYS file at the end of this posting. I then used FONTWID.PRG (or some such name). I reboot and OPUS complains about incompatible printer fonts. I have tried with either my *very* old GDOS.PRG or with AMCGDOS.PRG. This concerns a monochrome system. I have an Epson FX-80 with only a few printer fonts. Is that the problem? Here's my beautiful ASSIGN.SYS file that was produced by ASSIGNER.PRG: PATH = C:\FONTS\ ; 01p screen.sys IBMHSS10.FNT IBMHSS14.FNT IBMHSS18.FNT IBMHSS36.FNT ATRHSS10.FNT ATRHSS14.FNT ATRHSS18.FNT ATRHSS36.FNT 02p screen.sys IBMHSS10.FNT IBMHSS14.FNT IBMHSS18.FNT IBMHSS36.FNT ATRHSS10.FNT ATRHSS14.FNT ATRHSS18.FNT ATRHSS36.FNT 03p screen.sys IBMHSS10.FNT IBMHSS14.FNT ATRHSS10.FNT ATRHSS14.FNT 04p screen.sys IBMHSS10.FNT IBMHSS14.FNT ATRHSS10.FNT ATRHSS14.FNT 21 FX80.sys EPSHSS10.FNT EPSHSS14.FNT 31r META.SYS Thanks a lot, folks. -- Ralph P.

I > have saved the messages concerning OPUS installation, all to no avail! (etc.) Apologies, folks. I tried mailing Ralph but the message bounced. I think the problem doesn't have anything to do with GDOS versions. The simplest thing to try would be to make sure there are the same number of fonts defined in the assign.sys file for each resolution as there are printer fonts. Also, the last four characters of each filename in each resolution should match the last four in a printer filename. Below is Ralph's assign.sys file amended so it should work. I've commented out (using ';') the lines which I suspect are causing problems - assuming the printer files listed are valid Epson printer files.
