[comp.sys.pyramid] pic problem on 90xx

randall@ncr-sd.UUCP (11/12/87)

(My apologies if this is the wrong newsgroup)

The following is a pic-ditroff program that I have tried to run on a Pyramid
90xx system running OSX 4.2 (including AT&T SysV rel 3 & BSD4.3 UNIX) outputting
to a Talaris 1200 laser printer with the following command:

% pic filename | ditroff -l &     (The -l option is for landscape mode.)

The system will report that pic is being reduced to fit an 8.5x11 inch size,
even though I want an 11x8.5 inch size. Does anyone have any ideas what may be
wrong? What documentation I have says putting a number after .PS will force
pic to produce that size picture, but it apparently isn't working.

Please address replies via email to:

Are you really sure of that?  We're running a muchly-patched OSx 4.0
and I was told week before last that OSx 4.1 would go for First
Customer Ship early this week, I think.
