| I know the documentation is (thanks, Randy, for all the help!) --
but the last time I looked (around 5:30 today) the subdirectory
with the BL9 (v1.0) savesets was protected from world access. Hmmm...
BTW: does anyone know whether I can ignore the LN03 savesets if
all I intend to use is my LN03R (postscript) printer?
Any and all advice appreciated!-marcus.

Yes, you can ignore LN03 support. The PostScript mode of the LN03R
SCRIPTPRINTER is handled by the POSTSCRIPT destination in VAX DOCUMENT.
(You can, of course, print LN03 files on it as well -- but LN03
fonts are extra-cost royalty items, so you probably won't want to
spend the money if you don't need them.)

| Judging by reactions of some customers, who received Document output
(specifications and such), it may be too soon for the European market
if the following items are not met:
- <language> sensitive
- proper hyphenation. I've seen some dutch lines hyphenated which
are really looking weird. Ragged right printing is the only
alternative, but it is not really an acceptable alternative.
I hope as much as possible is done on this to make Document truely
acceptable.
(in LaTeX I recompiled the LPLAIN.TEX using a modified german hyphenation
pattern, which is more like ours than the english one - if we can get
hold of something like INIDOCument and SDML.TEX similar things can be
done)

Does this mean I can print DOCUMENT output to both POSTSCRIPT and
LN03 to the queue on the LN03R? I thought it was POSTSCRIPT only?

| 693.7 | LN3 files seem to print fine without expensive fonts ... | MARCUS::SKEEL | ICO 269 - 2182 | Wed Jul 22 1987 22:02 | 12 |
| To print anything but POSTSCRIPT on your LN03R, you need the special
print symbiont that translates it (e.g., plain ASCII, LN3, etc.)
into postscript. This works VERY well! In fact, to print POSTSCRIPT
with this symbiont installed with its native defaults you have to
specifically *tell* it *not* to do a translation.
The printer is really at its best (i.e., fastest, sharpest) -- happiest
-- if you feed it POSTSCRIPT, but I've been printing LN03 documentation
for the last 1.5 weeks via the new symbiont and I'm "virtually"
thrilled ...

| To my own surprize all kits copied quickly last night. Anyone near the
DECnet area 50 can copy the kit from this end too:
IJSAPL::$1$DJA19:[KIT.DOC]*.*
It includes the Document kit, the internal kit, the LN03 fonts, the
EDUOVER set as well as all V1_*.LN03 documentation files

RE: previous few...
Am I reading this correctly in that we can print .LN3 files on Scouts
and LPS40s and not have to pay for any LN03 fonts? Are there *any*
fonts to be payed for with these machines?

| RE: LN03 fonts
You can print LN03 files on other printers (through translator
symbionts) because the VAX DOCUMENT LN03 files already contain the
font data -- and you paid the royalty for that font data when you
got the LN03 font kit.
Also, that translation software is part of the LPS40 kit, and is
available for the LN03R as well (just ending field test).
