752.0. "%DVC-W-SPECIALERROR, error in \special" by CASEE::CLARK (Ward Clark) Wed Aug 05 1987 07:04

    Can someone clue me in on what might be causing the device conversion
    errors that appear below?

	%DOC-I-IDENT, VAX DOCUMENT V1.0
	[ T a g   T r a n s l a t i o n ]...
	%TAG-I-TAG_IDENT, V1.0
	%TAG-I-DEFSLOADD, End of Loading of Tag Definitions
	%TAG-I-ENDPASS_1, End of first pass over the input
	[ T e x t   F o r m a t t i n g ]...
	%TEX-I-IDENT, V1.0
	%TEX-I-PAGESOUT, 16 pages written.
	-TEX-I-OUTFILENAME, 'dev:[dir]FILENAME.DVI_LN03'
	[ D e v i c e   C o n v e r s i o n ]...
	%DVC-I-IDENT, DVC$LN03 V1.0ti
	%DVC-W-SPECIALERROR, error in \special
	   ln03: connect 7/8 13/14 2.0pt
	-DVC-W-INVALIDPOINT, invalid point number '8'
	-DVC-I-INPUTFILE, input file is:
	   DEV:[DIR]FILENAME.DVI_LN03
	-DVC-I-ONPAGE, on page [1]
	 
	%DVC-I-PAGESOUT, 16 pages written to file:
	   DEV:[DIR]FILENAME.LN03

    The output looks fine, except for a change bar problem.  (See next
    note.)

    Yes, the "connect" special is part of the change-bar support, so its 
    appearance is indeed part of the problem you address in 753.0.
