150.0. "<revision_info> PROBLEM" by ATWO::DOCTOR () Thu Jun 08 1989 16:26

    I have found a problem when trying to use the <revision_info> tag 
    when trying to set foreign language text via the <language> tag.
    
    The online bookreader has a fixed width for the "bold" text that
    is used and when I try to modify the \TEXlongestsysteminfo{...}
    control sequence, the whole thing blows-up on me during device
    conversion.
    
    Has anybody got any ideas.

150.1MORE INPUTVAXUUM::FITZELLput nifty saying hereThu Jun 08 1989 17:337
    What exactly are yoy trying to modify? What error messages do you get
    when the dvc "blows-up". The bookreader destination is a little more 
    restrictive than others and has less tolerance to tex-hackier. 
    You can send me the title page and we'll find out why it went
    out to lunch. (sdml and the modifications you made)

150.2Problem solved - MY problem that is!!GERTY::DOCTORFri Jun 09 1989 10:1910
Thanks for the offer Mike.

The first time that I actually enter a note in the
conference and I realise that I had made a spelling
mistake in the control-sequence. All is now working
in Europe.

150.3ACCVIO examples wantedCLOSET::FITZELLput nifty saying hereFri Jun 09 1989 10:567
    If the dvc ACCVIO'd I'd still like the dvi files so at least in the
    future the dvc would exit gracefully with some meaningful error
    message.
    
    Thanks

150.4Error - file locationGERTY::DOCTORMon Jun 12 1989 10:4420
The error message from this was:

[ D e v i c e    C o n v e r s i o n ]. . .

 PAGE COORDINATION LOST:TeXpage = 1, ChunkID = 2;ABORT!
%DVC-E-BOOKABORT, aborting run -- book not created
-DVC-I-INPUTFILE, input file is:
   DISK$PUBS03:[DOCTOR.BOOKREADER]TESTFILE.DVI_BOOKREADER;
-DVC-I-ONPAGE, onpage [1]

%DVC-I-BOOKABORT, aborting run -- book not created

If you wish to copy the "dvi" file, I have renamed it to 
error.dvi_bookreader as I am constantly using the "testfile"
sdml file for other languages. You can copy this from:

pages::disk$pubs03:[doctor.bookreader]
