I recently unpacked the X.V11R2 distribution and found that doc/Toolkit/{widgets,usenix}.PS had problems. Only the first 5 pages of the usenix paper made it, and only the first page of widgets was printed. Not having scribe I can't remake the usenix paper. Could somebody with a good copy put a version in the appropriate place on expo? When I tried to remake widgets.PS a small bug in the Makefile was uncovered. Making widgets.PS recursively invokes make to make the index without passing along the options that could have sensibly been defined on the command line, namely TROFF and PRINTER. The lines widgets: $(FILES1) rm -f widg.idx.raw widgets.PS widgets.idx.PS tbl $(FILES1) | ${TROFF} -t -ms 2> widg.idx.raw > widgets.PS make index.widgets should be changed to widgets: $(FILES1) rm -f widg.idx.raw widgets.PS widgets.idx.PS tbl $(FILES1) | ${TROFF} -t -ms 2> widg.idx.raw > widgets.PS make TROFF=${TROFF} PRINTER=${PRINTER} index.widgets Mark Bromley bromley@think.com

I just extracted these files from core.hc on expo, and they are identical to the files in our source pool. For reference, the sum for widgets.PS is 53372, and the sum for usenix.PS is 60188. Perhaps you were just bitten by the SunOS 3.4 tcp bug that everyone is complaining about. I suggest you try sucking core.hc over again.

I suggest you try sucking core.hc over again. I don't know, I had exactly the same problem with exactly the same document (usenix.PC). Could someone take mercy on us and make that paper available in regular format, so that we don't have to re suck all of core.hc?

It printed out more this time, but the last half was mangled. Everything upto and including page 5 was fine. Then there was a blank page, except for the page number, followed by a completely blank page, and then 6 mangled pages. The last 6 pages were all offset up 2/3 of a page and slightly to the right, so that only the lower third of the text was visible at the top of the page. The order of the pages also appeared to be reversed wrt previous pages.
