Hai, recently I pulled Opus2.2 of the archive server. Installed it
as desribed. Everything works fine, except when I want to save or print
the graphs. The error I get is :
Error opening Meta File Work Station
makesure GEMSYS disk is in place.
Well here I am lost. My assign.sys file does include line 31
31 meta.sys ; Meta File
All my printer drivers and screen drivers I got from WORD UP
and behave normally. So wat is wrong. And how does this Meta File business
work anyway.
Thanks in advance

But I notice that some programs (Pagestream 1.8) do not need it there. How do they do it? My program crashes big time if I leave it this way and try to write something out to a metafile. -- John Schmitt johns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca ...!unet!utai!utgpu!maccs!johns

Could someone mail or post an concise explanation of the assign.sys file... I am trying to get Opus to work, but for some reason it won't find my fonts in the folder listed in my PATH=. Could the problem be the fonts? A description of a standard GDOS font would also be helpful, as I have no idea if I have standard fonts (They are from atari.archive, DVIFONTS and other collections of fonts, I think) Is there a collection of genuine GDOS fonts anywhere? As you can tell, I'm just starting to fool around with fonts and GDOS, and have found no sources of information on how all of it works.
