If you read > exactly what I said, it was a sort of a trick comment. Truth > is, I was being sarcastic. I did realize that they were using > it to define a search path for an empty 'cd' call. Truth is, Sorry, but that's wrong. CDPATH defines a list(!) of directories where Gemini should search for the directory given as argument in the cd command. It's something similar to the PATH variable, which gives a list of directories where Gemini should search for the given command. I'll show you an example, perhaps you'll understand it more easily: Imagine you have a folder structure like this: c:\btx\ c:\btx\macros\texts\ c:\btx\macros\grphics\ c:\btx\pages\german\ c:\btx\pages\englisch\ c:\fido\ c:\fido\out\ c:\fido\in\ Now suppose you are currently working in d:\fido\out and want to change into c:\btx\macros\texts\ to examine a text. Normally, you'd have to type in the full path in order to get there. If you are using CDPATH, you can set: setenv CDPATH='.,c:\,c:\btx\,c:\btx\macros\,c:\btx\pages\,c:\fido\,d:\' etc. Now all you've got to type is "cd texts" and gemini will cd to c:\btx\macros\texts. Got it? This is very powerful tool, you'll save a lot of work, especially if you would normally be forced to use long paths... The list in searched from left to right, so it's a good idea to put the '.' in first place. Thereby Gemini will search in the current directory first. /s/ PS: Are You using the english or the german version of Gemini? Take a look at mupfel.doc, they explained the reason for CDPATH quite good. -- Udo Erdelhoff smart: ue@nathan.ruhr.de Am Westheck 170 Fido: Udo Erdelhoff on 2:245/52.1 W-4600 Dortmund 12 (FRG) Maus: Udo Erdelhoff @ DO Please keep your replies short - I have to pay for recieving mail ------------------------------ Date: 4 Jun 91 21:42:37 GMT From: munnari.oz.au!bunyip.cc.uq.oz.au!qut.edu.au!lunnon@uunet.uu.net Subject: LJ2 Fonts To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu Any one know any PCL fonts available in the Public domain , if so can somebody pleeaassee tell me where to get them ??

I posted this question on GEnie about a year ago when I got TOS 1.4 put in my 1040ST. One of the ST wizards (one of the CodeHeads or one of the Double-Click boys, I don't remember for sure) came up with the answer: *********************************************************************** * Trick LOGO by loading a RAM disk first (such as SI_RAM which is an * * accessory), then load LOGO, then remove the RAM disk. The memory is* * freed up and LOGO will then successfully load/save programs & files.* *********************************************************************** Apparently, LOGO under TOS 1.4 uses (or at least thinks that it uses) all available memory when it loads. I haven't programmed in years but I would think it would be a simple matter to patch LOGO to correct this. (HINT, HINT to Atari. Or better yet, why not release an updated version of Logo to take advantage of the new machines? :-) R.C.G. ------------------------------ Date: 5 Jun 91 10:36:32 GMT From: otter.hpl.hp.com!hpltoad!ghiggins!gjh@hplabs.hp.com (Graham Higgins) Subject: More than 4 Meg ??

Once in your editor, insert your game rating between the word "vote" and the system code and game title. Your rating must be an integer between 1 and 10. There must be at least one blank on either side of your rating. Make sure the word vote appears at the start of each rating. If you do not want to rate a particular game, just DELETE THAT LINE FROM THE BALLOT. When you are finished, SAVE THE FILE, and exit the editor. The votes will be sent to the game rating tabulator.
