Subj: 	bcs headers (no header for .ps) ??

Hi There,

I want to make it so that .ps files have no header.  I thought that 
the best way to do this would be to have an empty "header.ps" file
in my BCSHEADERS directory.  Unfortunately, it causes this:

    127 QA monterio> bci snap0_0_1dd00010.ps

    [ ./Xtea/Clients/dxprint/Snap.bsl/snap0_0_1dd00010.ps ]
    bci: Header file ./Xtea/Clients/dxprint/Snap.bsl/snap0_0_1dd00010.ps 
         malformed.

What would be a better way to do this?

Thanks,
--steve

Steve, the right way to do this is to have NO header.ps present; 
bcreate will then assume the file is type BIN (binary).

For existing files (that have already been bcreate once), you need
to change the comment leader to BIN as follows:

	bcs -cBIN file(s)
