I've been trying to make opus 2.2 function properly, but ran
into several snags. Has anyone been able to make a proper
complete installation?

Here are the problems I ran into:

 -I'm on a 1040st, single drive, and have both GDOS and G+PLUS.

   To begin the installation, I re-installed GDOS for the
Epson FX-80.

   Now, the first problem was that ASSIGNER.PRG refused to accept
the newly-created ASSIGN.SYS file as valid; it said that it was
a bad file or had more than 2000 lines in it. This same ASSIGN.SYS
file worked well with both GDOS and G+PLUS.

  I decided to let it go, because the OPUS install docs said that
this was only to make sure that we had a 1:1 correspondence
between screen and printer fonts, and I had that (I think).

  After that I tried running FONTWID.PRG. It took a while to
discover that I always had to have the GDOS disk as A:, and
the OPUS disk as B:, but after a while it ran ok.

 Now, when I loaded OPUS, I got the same error as several other
people reported earlier, i.e. OPUS says that the screen fonts
don't match the printer fonts, and won't enable charting! Ugh.

Anybody out there got any ideas? HELP!!
