264.1 | never mind | AKO484::SHEPRO | NOW what'd I do? | Tue Feb 21 1989 16:04 | 6 |
| Never mind. The documentation fails to mention to make the definitions
in the DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES table.

| On another topic - has anybody noticed that in .0 EVERY wide line ends
with the "diamond" character, indicating overflow to the right?
I'm running character-cell NOTES. Is this a NOTES phenomenon or is it
DECterm or ... ?

264.3 | Probably a result of font experminents. | IAGO::SCHOELLER | Who's on first? | Wed Feb 22 1989 10:03 | 5 |
| Probably an attribute of using a wide DECterm or DECwindows NOTES configuration.
These things tend to happen when experimenting with non-default fonts.

264.4 | maybe its notes | SK8R::CRITZ | Richard -- KB4N/1 | Wed Feb 22 1989 19:44 | 5 |
| Maybe it's because note creation under DW notes is the only thing I've
seen that doesn't do automatic text wrap. It behaves like the text
widget in all other respects. I find it most annoying but haven't
tracked down how to complain about it.

264.5 | Did things change from V1 to V2? | WOOK::LEE | Wook... Like 'Book' with a 'W' | Thu Aug 03 1989 14:42 | 7 |
| Is there any reason why the DECW$Printer_Format* logicals have to be in
the DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES table? I used to be able to define them in my
process table and applications like DECW$Mail would honor them. Now it
seems that I can't put them in the process table anymore.

They should work fine in your process table. Are you running decw$mail in
a detached process or subprocess? If its a subprocess, you migth try using
the job table instead. (Also, if you're using two machines, be aware that
the logicals are examined on the client machine, not the server.)

264.7 | Restart application is the trick! | WR2FOR::LAMB_PE | Peter Lamb - FSG Santa Clara | Mon Nov 06 1989 19:05 | 16 |

When I upgraded from DECW V1 to V2 I decided to try print formats
for the first time... I also had difficulty getting it to work.
It doesn't seem to matter whether you define it in DECW$logical_names
or as a system/process logical. The critical thing seems to be
that you need to restart the application that you want to have use
it.
For example: To test it I had filevue running and kept doing different
logical definitions (to DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES etc) and when I tried
to print a document it always give me the entier list of ques.
However, when I finally exited Filevue and started it back up things
started to work.

264.8 | Stumped on Postscript | WR2FOR::LAMB_PE | Peter Lamb - FSG Santa Clara | Mon Nov 06 1989 19:27 | 10 |
| Hi,
I spoke too soon... This seems to work ok for TEXT etc but what
do I need to do to get it to work for POSTSCRIPT?
I tried DEFINE DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_POSTSCRIPT "POSTSCRIPT_QUE"
but this still gives me the entire list of ques! Any ideas?
Peter

264.9 | PS not POSTSCRIPT | MELTIN::dick | Gvriel::Schoeller | Mon Nov 06 1989 19:35 | 7 |
| Try:
DEFINE DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_PS "POSTSCRIPT_QUE"
It will work a whole lot better.

264.10 | Problem solved - use PS | WR2FOR::LAMB_PE | Peter Lamb - FSG Santa Clara | Mon Nov 06 1989 20:00 | 8 |
|
The solution seems to be to define it as follows...
DEFINE DECW$PRINTER_FORMAT_PS "POSTSCIRPT_QUE"
Does anyone know where all the various types for this are documented?
