The Wall Street Journal reports that Atari Corp. is selling its assembly
plant in Taiwan for $60 million (and collecting an unspecified profit on
the transaction) and will shift the work to subcontractors in Taiwan and
Hong Kong. The article quotes an unnamed Atari spokesman as saying that
the company lost $2 million in the first quarter because of problems in
assembling ``a newer product line'' at the Taiwan facility.

Just to play devils advocate for a moment <grin>, do you think they
really sold the plant because of these "assembly problems" or do you
think it was because they needed the cash to buy back some of their
debt?
Cheers,

Subject: CANNON Bubble jet printer
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Hello All,
Does anybody have any experience with the Cannon Bj 10e bubble jet
printer. The reviews I have read say that it is has a very high quality
print out (400 d.p.i) is very cheap ($800 Aust), noisy and slow (110 c.p.i).
It also said tha it wasn't EPSON compatible. Most of my Atari work revolves
around the C-Lab Notator music package, and I am looking for a high
quality printer to use to print out music scores. Has anybody used the
Bj 10 e with an Atari before i.e. does anybody have a printer driver for
it ?
Many Thanks

Has anyone got an English translation of the German documentation of the
dox for the 24pin dvi printer drivers in the printing subdirectory of
atari.archive? They would be much appreciated.
Thanx in advance,

The Fidonet gateway egsgate.fidonet.org is retransmitting old news with
new message-IDs and bogus From: lines. If you want to file a complaint,
postmaster@f98.n250.z1.fidonet.org or postmaster@egsgate.fidonet.org
should be the right place to send it.
Don't expect a prompt, courteous response. The last time I reported an
egsgate problem, I got no answer at all, so I posted a message in
news.admin. The egsgate operator ranted at me for weeks, denying that
there was a problem and accusing me of ill will.
It might be more efficient to just install a global kill for Fidonet.

Subject: Fonts for MGR?
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Now that I have managed to get MiNT and MGR up and running, I am wondering
where I can get hold of fonts/icons for MGR... and what do I do with them -
I.E. where can I get docs too?
(I assume at flash.bellcore.com - but does anyone have an IP number?)

The pml sources on A.A. are PatchLevel 8.
Diffs to take source from PatchLevel 8 -> 9 are missing from the posted

Anyone got pml sources with patchlevel > 8 ? or 8->9 diffs ?
Muchas gracias.

Does any one know if its posible to get Ataries Logo to work with Tos 1.4/1.6
I do get a out of Memory when I try to load a Logo Program/File,
Note: The software does load up on a 1040 ST with Tos 1.4.
Are there any patches to make this work ?

MiNT is a Multi-Tasking program for the Atari ST. I have tried using it,
but it is difficult unless you have MGR, which is a program that manages
the multi-tasking. Since I couldn't locate this program, I gave up on
the entire ting. You need about 2-4 Megs to use it seriously, though.
Or at least that is what I have been told. 1 Meg isn't enough to do
anything useful. The program (MiNT) is able to Multi-Task TOS and TTP
programs, and keep them running even while a GEM application is running.
It won't multi-task GEM programs, but it will let you run one while other
things are running in the background. If you have enough memory, and can
locate MGR (or really like command lines) then try to get MiNT. Once you
get it running, it is supposed to be great...
