[comp.sys.mac] FullWrite Bug and Patch

edmoy@violet.berkeley.edu (05/20/88)

When printing to a LaserWriter, FWP includes its own PostScript procset.
While it works fine with a real LaserWriter on an AppleTalk network, if
the printing is done through software that is sensitive to Adobe's document
structuring convention (such as the CAP printer software), it fails.  This
is because the procset looks something like this:

	%%BeginProcSet (FullWriteProcSet) 1.0 1
	. . .
	%% End of FullWrite ProcSet

Not having a matching %%EndProcSet command violates the structuring conventions.

To fix this, go into ResEdit and open (a copy of) FullWrite.  Open resource
PREC, id = 103.  Edit the last line from

	%% End of FullWrite ProcSet

to

	%%EndProcSet for FullWrite

(I left a space at the end of the line so that the modified PREC resource would
have the same length.)

For even stricter compliance, the last line should be just %%EndProcSet, and
the %%BeginProcSet line should contain a colon after %%BeginProcSet.
