740.0. "Software doctypes and european paper" by GVASA::SCHMID (Michel Schmid, Geneva) Mon Aug 03 1987 12:05

    The largest standard SOFTWARE doctypes have a page height of 11
    inches, for the US paper. Are there also european doctypes for A4
    paper? 
    
    We have tried to use the /PAPER=A4 qualifier (undocumented in help, by
    the way) to the $ DOCUMENT command, which apparently worked with FT
    versions, but this didn't help. 
    
    Michel.

740.1ISO paper size support is coming soon...WRONGO::PARMENTERVenusian or Venerean?Mon Aug 03 1987 17:5811
    Comprehensive support for ISO paper-sizes is being specified as
    we speak.  It is not currently supplied, but is a definate requirement
    for the next release of DOCUMENT.
    
    What you were observing with the /PAPER qualifier are
    provisional (deliberately undocumented) hooks left in place in 
    anticipation of future development.  The qualifier does not perform
    any useful action at the moment.

740.2Limited support exists in V1.0CLOSET::ANKLAMMon Aug 10 1987 17:529
    
    However, the V1.0 DEC internal kit implements, for initial debugging
    purposes /PAPER=A4 for some of the internal doctypes (LAYERED,
    HARDWARE, MEMO, LGUIDE, REPORT, OVERHEADS). \PAPER=A5 is
    also implemented for the HARDWARE doctype. 
    
    See the V1.0 Notes for internal users.
