From: mark@maryland (Mark Weiser) Our imagen 8/300, for every document, says "flushed leftoever document bytes: 17 bytes". Always 17, does not matter how the text was sent (ethernet or rs-232), probably only does it with troff output. The output in fact is missing nothing, so it is a very non-critical error. But what is it?

From: Ram%umass-boston.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa Generally, this is probably due to your software inserting an Impress EOF command followed by irrelevant stuff. See p.46 and p. 103 of the IMPRINT-10 programmers manual. It might be prudent to ascertain what the extra 16 (EOF counts as 1) bytes are. If you don't see this on the last job of a bunch, possibly you are inserting an EOF AND garbage as part of the next job. Generally EOF's are unnecessary. The job control language suffices to mark boundaries of jobs. If you have the Imagen Unix support tape (possibly others too, you can use the deco program to get a human readable form of the document and perhaps get some insight. --bob morris
