The
GEOS
LO
Print
System
Making a Work Disk
Before you begin, you should take time to read the "Read Me"
me
located
on
the
GEOS
LQ
Print
System disk.
This
file contains additional
information which might not
be contained
in
this manual. After reading the
file, create a
work
disk by copying the following files to
an
empty GEOS-
formatted disk:
- "GeosLQ", the Print System application program
- "StartLQ", a desk accessory which allows you to enter the Print System
from within geoWrite (this will appear in the "geos" menu)
-
at
least
one
LQ
font ("RomaLQ", "UniversityLQ", etc.) from the
GEOS
LQ
Print System disk:
- geoWrite, the GEOS word processor
- deskTop (or
an
alternate user interface)
The
back side
of
the GEOS
LQ
Print System disk contains more
LQ
fonts,
plus utilities for creating and revising
LQ
fonts. There are also two small
programs for using a parallel connected printer with commodore BASIC on
the C-64. A font editor is located on the back side
of
the HQ Drivers disk.
The simplest thing
to
do is
to
copy all the needed files onto one disk.
It
is
also possible
to
spread the files around
by
copying them onto different
drives. This is practical
if
you use several 1541 drives
or
wish to use a lot
of
fonts. Please note that geoWrite, StartLQ and any fonts you wish to use
from within
g~Write
must be on the same disk. "GeosLQ", connection
file, parameter file and the printer adaptation file must also
be
on
a disk
together.
The
LQ
fonts are usually placed
on
the "GeosLQ" disk.
If
you
copy the parameter
me
"LQP FontDisk" to your "GeosLQ" work disk, then
fonts may also
be
placed on the document disk (see Section
4,
topic "The
Configuration Files"). Documents may
be
saved on any disk you have room
on.
The
"Read Me" file contains more information about configuration
possibilities.
You can quickly run
out
of
space
if
you
are
using a 1541 disk with only
170 kilobytes.
To
save space, you could use
an
alternative user interface,
such as gateWay
or
QwikTop. You can
also
"create" room
on
your disks by
deleting
some
of
the point sizes
of
the
LQ
fonts (see Section 6, topic
" About the
Font
Utilities").
