| Rose,
I tried your example and it crashed using document to generate it.
I use the following and got the printout ok.
$DOC FILE GENERAL LN03/NOTAG (Crashed)
$DOC FILE GENERAL LN03/NOTAG/NOTEX prints out the file ok.
(And with sof.spe as well.
$DOC FILE s.s LN03/NOTAG (Crashed)
$DOC FILE s.s LN03/NOTAG/NOTEX prints out the file ok.
)
For PICMODE generally I have found that including within book builds
will not crash and produces output ok. It can take a while to get the
PICMODE sizing ok so it wont crash (within book builds) but then all
is fine.
Regards

| 144.2 | Still having problems... | COOKIE::JOHNSTON | | Wed Mar 25 1987 16:38 | 54 |
| I'm still having problems...and going nuts trying to figure it out.
I'm wondering if my PICMODE.EXE file is corrupted or something?
I started with a clean directory, containing only the .PMD file.
Based on the reply in .1, I tried this:
$ PICMODE TEST_FILE This created a .TeX file
$ DOC TEST_FILE GENERAL LN03/NOTAG/NOTEX
This resulted in "can't find
TEST_FILE.DVI_LN3"
I tried this with an "old" .PMD file to start with. Then I tried it with the
file I entered into this notes file in .0. Then I tried it with a newly
created .PMD file that contained nothing but 2 "boxes" and an "arrow", drawn
with +, -, v, and #.
Is there anything different that you did (note .1), no matter how seemingly
insignificant?
I searched all my directories on the off-chance that something was
causing the .DVI file to be copied into another directory. No such luck.
I then asked an innocent bystander to try it. No such luck.
And trying DOCUMENT with only the \notag results in "undefined control
sequence".
I am using PICMODE 1.0; I'm assuming there are no versions more current than
this?
Any guesses on other things I could check out?
I'm running a parallel system here--BL06 and BL07. As noted in .0, the files
still execute fine under BL06. I know that PICMODE is not supported; but is
it possible something, somewhere in the BL07 DOCTOOLS file(s) is making me
loony?
Help! I've become a hapless victim! It's important to get this working
because I don't want a bunch of spec-writing engineers in my office giving me
grief that it doesn't work--and they will!
Thanx for your time, anyone, someone.
Trying to head off the herd...

| 144.3 | try this.... | UBEAUT::MANDERSON | the wind don't blow..... it sux | Wed Mar 25 1987 18:46 | 19 |
| Rose,
I used the following to compile it ok.
$ PICMODE filename.pmd
$ DOC filename S.S LN03/NOTAG
$ DOC filename S.S LN03/NOTAG/NOTEX
The first DOC pass usually fails with funny errors, I don't
worry and just give it the second pass. Although it fails it still
generates the filename.DVI_LN3 file that the /notex pass needs.
The other way to get it is to have a filename.GNC file with the
line <INCLUDE_TEX_FILE>(FILENAME.TEX) only. This will usually pass right
through OK.
Hope this helps

| 144.5 | A control sequence error | UBEAUT::MANDERSON | the wind don't blow..... it sux | Thu Mar 26 1987 02:46 | 18 |
| The errors are as indicated in this extract from a log file. This
is the first time I have investigated this particular error. I put it
thru' a second pass, the output looks fine and since they do not
appear with an <include_tex_file>(xyz.tex) I haven't thought twice.

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

| Thanx much, Kevin; a thousand blessings on your children, born and
unborn.Finally got it to work. Now to work on a .com file that will mask
the annoying error messages, and continue processing when they are
encountered, if that's possible. If I come up with something, I'll
post it here.

| 144.7 | TeX, meet DECTeX | CLOSET::SEGAL | | Thu Mar 26 1987 13:32 | 6 |
| Bet the .TEX file created by itself has no \begintexinput at the
start of the file, hence the error report from TeX. That would
probably explain why there aren't complaints when the file is
run using <include_tex_file>.

| 144.9 | I'm having trouble, too... HELP! | CHAPLN::ROSENTHAL | Out to break Murphy's Law! | Thu May 07 1987 16:33 | 132 |
| Here's the situation I'm in, and I can't figure out what to do.
Picture file: CH_ROPEN_100.PMD
Processed
with PICMODE: CH_ROPEN_100.PMD
The .GNC file: CH_ROPEN.GNC
Inside the .GNC file:
<display>(wide\MAXIMUM)
<enddisplay>
<condition>(line_printer)
<line_art>
<include>(CH_ROPEN_100.pmd)
<endline_art>
<endcondition>
<condition>(laser_printer)
<include_tex_file>(CH_ROPEN_100.tex)
<endcondition>
I've tried passing the command <SET_CONDITION>(Laser_Printer) at
the the very beginning of the .GNC file and it doesn't work.
I've tried the command line:
$ DOCUMENT CH_ROPEN SOFTWARE.REFERENCE LN03
That didn't compile properly (.LIS file follows...)
I've tried taking the <SET_CONDITION> command out of the
.GNC file and passing it on the command line, as in:
$ DOCUMENT CH_ROPEN SOFTWARE.REFERENCE LN03 /CONDITION=LASER_PRINTER
Still, no go.
This is the content of the CH_ROPEN_100.PMD file (it's wide, so
that's why it's running off the right gutter). My picture files
all look basically like this:

| I did not run a test file using all the information you provided, but
based on the SDML tags you showed it looks like:
1. You used the tag <line_art> outside the context of
<figure>/<endfigure>
2. You've asked DOCUMENT to look for a .TEX.TEX file because
you used <include_tex_file>(CH_ROPEN_100.TEX). The default
is to look for a .TEX file, so you should specify
<INCLUDE_TEX_FILE>(CH_ROPEN_100).
If your file still doesn't process, you should double-check that you
can get a picmode.LN3 file separate from a .GNC file. Here's the .COM
file that I use (you have to change the queue-name):
$ PICMODE 'P1'
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT " "
$ DOCUMENT/NOTAG 'P1' GENERAL LN03/NOPRINT/NOLOG
$ DOCUMENT/NOTAG/NOTEXT/NOLOG 'P1' GENERAL LN03/PRINT=(QUEUE=LN03_N23,NOTIFY)
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT " "
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "Ignore the notice of TeX errors you just received."
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "The file has been sent to the printer."
$ EXIT

| Rose,
A zillion thank yous!!!! I removed exactly the things you
suggested and the darned thing compiled... I won't tell you
how much time I wasted last Thursday scratching my head,
trying to figure out what I'd done... it makes me crazy to
realize the answer was staring me right in the face...

Thanks again!

| Donna,
You're welcome! My only regret is that I couldn't have spared you some
pain sooner. I lost almost 3 days trying to figure out that the picmode
file had to be processed through DOCUMENT twice. (Thanx to Kevin
Manderson for coming to *my* rescue on that one!) And that wasn't
really bright of me to spend so much time and energy on it. I've since
decided to spend an hour on something, then post a note. Chances are
very good that someone else has already run into the same problem.
Rose
