oleo somebody?

[Andreas Goesele <Goesele@hfph.mwn.de>]

Hi,

is somebody actually using oleo?

I had a look at it and it seems in theory to fulfill exactly my needs.

But I do have some problems which in fact make it rather unusable:

1. The manual says that it is possible to write to a LaTeX file. But
the command M-C-p only brings up the choice to either write to an
ASCII or a postscript file. "M-C-p l" results in nothing. Looking at
the code I also get the strong impression that the possibility to
write to a LaTeX file is not implemented. (1.99.16-7) Correct?

2. Trying to print to an postscript file gives an error message:
"AfmFontWidth: failed". The resulting postscript file is not usable
with gs. Ghostscript gives the following error messages:

Error: /undefinedGPL Ghostscript 8.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
 in 20,0
Operand stack:

Execution stack:
   %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   false   1   %stopped_push   1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop   1   3   %oparray_pop   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--
Dictionary stack:
   --dict:1051/1123(ro)(G)--   --dic

3. According to the manual "C-x C-s" saves using the current
file-format. But I didn't find anything in the documentation how to
accutally set this format. If I open a file let's say in the sc format
using even the option "-F sc" the file is transformed into the oleo
format and saving results in a file in the oleo format.

>From the manual I gather that it should be possible to set the file
format using "M-x set-option file". But I don't find the correct
format to set this option. "M-x set-option file" results in something
like for instance: "Unknown option 'S[@U]'". (The exact error message
changes all the time.)  "M-x set-option file sc" results in "Unknow
option 'sc'". "M-x set-option file=sc" results in "Unknow option
'file=sc'". So what is the correct way to set this option?

Thanks a lot in advance!
