Question 1: Where is a good FTP site for learning how to use TeX? I
just got it working last night and I am dying to learn
how the mongrel of a thing works.
Question 2: Why does AmigaDOS 1.3 give me the message, after I type
'copy * prt:' that 'The object is in use' when in fact
nothing is hogging it. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG!
I can use par: normally, but prt:, no go Joe. The
printer I am using is a Fujitsu DL1100 with a Fujitsu
DL1100 driver in prefs.
Question 3: When is C= Australia going to release KS 2.0 on ROM? I am
sick of waiting for it when most American's already
have it.

TeX is not simple, and I don't know of any FTP site that has TeX manuals lying about in machine readable form. Isn't there anything included in the distribution? > Question 3: When is C= Australia going to release KS 2.0 on ROM? I am > sick of waiting for it when most American's already > have it. Not so. No one anywhere has KS 2.0 on ROM; it has been released as software only. I think the latest version to get to Australia is 2.02, whereas in America it's 2.04. It won't be in ROM until they are absolutely sure that it's bug-free, stable, backward-compatible and does all the nice things they want it to. The latest is "RRSN". >+ Alex Krooglik |________________ Angst

Somewhere there is a machine-readable file called 'A Gentle Introduction to TeX,' by Micheal Doob. It's a good starting point. But you *will* have to buy the TeX book and the LaTeX book. They are essential, and are not available for ftp. -- | ben@epmooch.UUCP (Ben Mesander) | "Cash is more important than | | ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu | your mother." - Al Shugart, | | !chinet!uokmax!servalan!epmooch!ben | CEO, Seagate Technologies |

The only people who have a legitimate copy of Kickstart 2.0 are either: - A3000 owners - Developers registered with Commodore. You can figure out as well as I can what the rest of the people who have 2.0 are. >+ Alex Krooglik |________________ Peter -- Peter Cherna, Operating Systems Development Group, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.

KS 2.0 has *NOT* been released in ROM, in America or anywhere else. The only version of 2.0 that any non-developer can get is the one bundled with the A3000. So be patient, it will be release here and everywhere when C= finally get all the bugs out. It is better to work with a stable 1.3 than a buggy 2.0.

If you can use par: but not prt: then it seems likely that your printer is assigned to the serial port and something is using it. > Question 3: When is C= Australia going to release KS 2.0 on ROM? I don't believe *anyone* has it in ROM yet as they want to get out most of the bugs first. -- Andrew Phillips (andrew@teslab.lab.oz.au) Phone +61 (Aust) 2 (Sydney) 289 8712

Try copying the appropriate printer driver from the 1.3 distribution (I think they moved onto the extras disk?) and see if that fixes the problem.
