This means that you are limited, using a cluster size of 1 and a sector size of 512 -- about 264 meg. However, you can increase this limit by: - increasing the sector size - increasing the cluster size (use -c with format) - partitioning the drive into 2 or more logical devices Hope this helps. #: 19437 S12/OS9/68000 (OSK) 07-Dec-93 14:34:18 Sb: #19416-#Gnu-C Fm: Carsten B Emde 100034,372 To: Bob van der Poel 76510,2203 (X) Bob, two days ago, Stephan has made GNU-C 2.5.5 available on cabrales.cs.wisc.edu.

What have you seen? Any GNU software ever ported to OS-9 and made available through EFFO is available in source code form without any restriction upon request. In some cases, the OS-9 specific additions we made, are even incorporated into the official releases. Everybody at EFFO full-heartedly supports the GNU concept and nobody would ever do something that would give the impression that we are "not honoring the GNU copyleft". Again, what have you seen? If you have, please explain what it was. If you have not, please say so.

Bob ... you might also want to consider adding: comp.sys.m6809 comp.sys.m68k to your reading list. Neither group is that busy, but there are some jewels from time to time. *- Steve -* #: 19431 S12/OS9/68000 (OSK) 05-Dec-93 20:37:36 Sb: #19429-#hpload Fm: Bob van der Poel 76510,2203 To: BRUCE MOORE 70075,143 (X) Bruce, HPLOAD just grabs font files and dumps them to the printer. Should work with any HP compatible printer (this is not postscript). Yes, if the font is supplied by your customer you will need to get the stuff to your printer. However, if the customer "prints" the stuff to a file from a WP program on a PC he should be able to upload that to you (complete with the font info) and you should be able to just merge that file to the printer. HPLOAD isn't all that big...you should DL it and have a look.
