    Hi
    
    Please make the documentation available on a Web server; I'd like to
    link it into our online documentation.
    
    Thanks

    There's a few people looking into this now.

    Thanks, Tim.  Fyi, I tried printing the title.ps file from the
    LNC01_IG.ZIP file to a PrintServer 17  printer, and had it fail with:
    
    	ERROR: limitcheck
    	OPPENDING COMMAND:
    
    	STACK:
    
    after the title page had been printed.
    
    I had a similar error when I tried to view the file via the psview
    application on Windows NT.
    
    Anyone else had problems printing/viewing these files?
    
    Thanks!

    I am not familiar with the file you are referring to so I can't be sure
    what the specific problem is but I suspect that if they are PostScript
    files, you are going to need a printer with plenty of memory to print
    them. The files that we hope to get on the WWW server will be PDF
    files.

    Hi Tim
    
    The file I tried to print was in a zip file mentioned in .4 of this
    note thread.  But having PDF would be excellent, and I'll sit back and
    wait/hope for them.
    
    Thanks for taking the time to make them!

    This problem has nothing to do with memory as suggested in .10
    It has everything to do with embedded control-z characters at the
    end of file. The usual cause of this problem is binary FTP transfer
    from a PC to VMS. The program is not smart enough to tranfer
    the actual number of bytes and pads out the rest of the disk
    with control-z characters.

    FYI> DSCVerifier has a piece of code that can be prepended
    to PostScript file to bypass this problem. Perhaps it should
    be added to PS_SUPPLEMENT???

    Hi,

    external/public webpage, I already have them available (in pdf format)
    on an internal webpage at:
    		http://vivian.hhl.dec.com/wow/printers/home.html
    (follow the Printer Documentation & LNC01 links).
    
    regards,
    Ian.
