1051.2GDOS, and questionsPIKES::BITTROLFFMon Jan 14 1991 15:1314
There is a decent explanation of GDOS in a recent (Aug?) issue of STart, with
pointers to more information if you are interested. Basically, as I understood 
it, it is a part of GEM which for some reason is disk based and must be loaded
from your auto file. It is used to load external fonts and such. It was printed
along with an article about one of their on disk programs called CARDMASTER. If
you can't get a copy of that issue I would be glad to copy the article and send
it on.

Where did you get your copies of SHEET and OPUS? I got SHEET through BRE
as a PD program (shareware actually) but I was never able to get it to work at
all. If you have workable programs would it be possible to put them somewhere on
the net so that I can download them?

Some GDOS programs expect certain device number assignments in ASSIGN.SYS.
Check your manual and see if they specify what your ASSIGN.SYS should look
like.  META.SYS should be the driver for producing GEM meta files.  Also,
check to see what version of GDOS you are running.  When it boots, write
down everything it says (case IS important).

Note there is GPLUS+ which is an improved version of GDOS (faster).

Its been a while since I messed with GDOS, there have been several
articals on setting it up, the STart reference is one, there are
probably others, including PD descriptions.

	I use OPUS for all my spreadsheet work..I found it on the net and
I run it on my IMb STE. It is really all I want in a spreadsheet. I use Version
2.2 but I seem to remember that if you send a nominal sum to the writer he will
send you Version 2.3 which writes Lotus 1-2-3 compatible files, plus some
additional documentation. It is very reliable and a very attractive screen
layout.
1051.7Ok! But where is it?SUOSW4::SURAUFWed Jan 16 1991 14:217

    I've made available BOTH Opus2.2 and Sheet. They're on:

    STRIKR::DISK$USERS:[rayer.atari]*.*

    As mentioned, to get Opus 2.3 you need to contact the author.
