630.0. "Printing to DOCUMENT" by KERNEL::SMITHERSJ (Living on the culinary edge....) Tue May 05 1992 17:33

I read in a STARS article which I now cannot find that ALL-IN-1 2.4 with
WPS-PLUS 4.0 does not allow the user to print to document destination
of DOCUMENT anymore.  If you try and read it you get a blank document 
and if you edit it, it gives you an error.

Does anyone know if this is likely to be fixed or not, or if there is an
alternative workaround?

Thanks

630.1In v3.0 it looks likeAIMTEC::WICKS_AThe Mancs will NEVER win the lgeTue May 05 1992 17:3821
    Julia,
    
    Don't have a system running "The patch Kit from Hell" on it available today
    but on ALL-IN-1 v3.0 when you try and print to Document it gives you
    a menu that looks like.
    
    
                                   Print to Document
    
             CR   Create a new revisable document
             CF   Create a new final form document
             O    Overwrite an existing document
             A    Append to an existing document
    
     Don't know what that means but it looks like it is still supported.
    
    ... quickly changing his editor back to EDT ...

630.2Use ASCII documentsIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4ATue May 05 1992 19:5220
Re: .0

The ALL-IN-1 V2.4 print to DOCUMENT overwrites an existing document.  A
problem was introduced in the WPS-PLUS V4 Update such that if the document
to be overwritten is not ASCII the resulting document cannot be read or
edited. 

The workaround is to always select an ASCII document as the output document 
for Print to DOCUMENT.


Re: .1

Print to DOCUMENT was upgraded in ALL-IN-1 V3.0 to allow printing to
existing documents and creating new documents and the problems introduced 
by the WPS-PLUS V4.0 Update option were fixed.
