Subject: Bibcard

Hi,

I'm not a system manager but I want to install 'bibcard'. consequently,
I've encountered problems.

I altered BINDIR and MANDIR in makefile to fit my directories. I did
'make' and 'make install' as suggested in 'readme' file. I didn't change
HELPPATH though. To be hnoest, I don't know how yet.

I've got 'bibcard' at last. I thought it's  been done but it's not. When I
typed in some test data and tried to saved the file, it gives 'bus error'.
This might be the problem of bibcard itself, but can you fix it for me?

BTW, this operation takes up a lot of memory. My computer is going to
complain about it again. What a life.

Regards,

Subject: Recommended ink-jet printers?

I'm thinking of getting an ink-jet printer to fulfill the dual roles
of TeX output device and hard-copy device for printing images.  The
printer will be attached to a PC running Linux.  The currently
favoured candidates are the HP deskjet 560C (600x300 dpi) and the
Canon BJ600 (360 dpi).  Does anyone have any experience in driving
either of these from Linux?  Could I use the colour capabilities in my
(La-)TeX documents?

Any useful information gratefully received.

..Adrian
