Software issues

Using PostScript printers on a locked disc

Although you can print to a PostScript printer with no problems

whilst the hard disc is locked, you cannot add a new PostScript

printer. You also cannot use the Save choices option.

NFS Filer — Desktop saving

If you have applications in the root directory of an NFS mount which

you wish to store in a Desktop boot file, you should edit the saved

desktop boot file to remove the Filer_Boots of those applications, or

move them after the line where the mount is mounted. This ensures

that the NFS mount is present when these applications are Filer

Booted.

Using Acorn Desktop Publisher

When in 32 thousand or 16 million colour screen modes Desktop

Publisher takes a very long time to start. Changing to these screen

modes also increases the time to process the display change.

ChangeFSl — Decompressing JPEG Files

There are some JPEG files available which don't conform to the

standard convention. Although some of these files are accepted by !

ChangeFSl, others will not be. If you find this to be the case try setting

the file's type to JPEG (C85) before giving it to !ChangeFSl.

ChangeFSl errors

If you get a 'Number to big' error message while trying to display a

TIFF file, then try setting the 'Ignore source pixel size' and/or 'Ignore

pixel size' options.

Serial mice

Only three-button serial mice should be used on the Acorn Risc PC.

Arthur applications

Arthur applications are not supported in this version of RISC OS.
