The Dialog item is now number 25 rather than 22 as > it was in LaserWriter 6.0 and previous. Yes, I just enabled the Disk File item on 6.0.1 but the item number was still 22 as before. Seems to work fine. I suppose I (and the other people on our net) should really just go back to 5.2 but... Does anyone know how to change the default selection to be Black & White rather than Color/Greyscale? Somewhere there must be a reference to DITL -8191 items 23 (the default) and 24 but I couldn't find it. Thanks, Cliff -- A society is not civilized until it domesticates the icecube.

I just did the change on 6.0.1 successfully with item number 22, same as with 6.0. I assume that you are aware that the resultant file will end up in a folder called Spool Folder in the System Folder (if you print with background printing on). If background printing is off, the file can end up most anywhere on the disk, depending on where the file pointer is directing output to, i.e. where the last application you envoked was residing. >....because I often use MacPS on our local Sun.

I tried to take a MacPS file (that says %!PS-Adobe-2.0 at the top) and print it from the sun and I get nothing. Printing a sun file (with %!PS-Adobe at the top) will print on the Mac just fine.

There was a suggestion made a short while ago to use ResEdit or equivelent to modify the name the created file to include a folder (path) name. Where the LaserWriter driver specifies PostScript (ie. for PostScript0), I changed it to 'Hard Disk:PostScript Files:PostScript', which results in all created postscript files going in one location. No problems encountered so far. Jeff White jeff@eniac.seas.upenn.edu

Printing a sun file >(with %!PS-Adobe at the top) will print on the Mac just fine. What >am I doing wrong? I don't know, it works fine for me on an Encore multimax to a DEC ln03. Although when I use macps it puts its own line at the top of the file, so perhaps you are doing something wrong which is causing macps not to process the file. The first lines of a mac postcript file: %!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%Title: Thesis %%Creator: Microsoft Word and the same file after processing: %! *** Created by macps: Tue Apr 10 23:45:00 1990 %!PS-Adobe-2.0 %%Title: Thesis %%Creator: Microsoft Word so something seems to be up. -tim Tim Butler (tbutler@wpi.wpi.edu) Teaching Assistant HL 103b tel (508) 831-5424 Department of Mechanical Engineering Worcester Polytechnic Institute
