I was playing with a LaserWriter IINTX that has a hard disk
attached. I was trying to access fonts that I `know' are
there, but to no avail.
So I cobbled up a job to do something like
(fonts/*) { = flush } fontnamestring filenameforall
and got nothing. Also nothing if the pattern is a simple (*).
So then in a flash of inspiration I did a
diskonline = flush
and got a false, meaning the disk is offline. So then I tried
(%disk%) devmount = flush
and got an invalidfilename complaint from devmount. Anybody have
any ideas how to find out if the printer really knows about its
disk or not? Is there any way to ask `what is the name of your
disk?'. To stem the inevitable tide, the disk is switched
on, and the disk is an Apple disk drive.
Thanks In Advance,
........ Henry
