Anyone using DPCC and employing a ? as a wildcard in the PCI_CVRT.DAT file? Does it work for you? I'm using dpcc: dpcc (DOMAIN PC Coprocessor), revision 3.0 88/07/11 Another question: does anyone else out there using DPCC object to the incomplete support of graphic characters in the IBM Graphics Printer emulation, or has anyone noticed? It has been broken since originally shipped, and R&d (sic) says fixing the printer emulation is of low priority in the scheme of things. I think "low priority" means I'm the only person who complained. Is that so? -- ___________________ Darryl C. Conliffe conliffe@caen.engin.umich.edu (313) 721-6069 -------------------

I think "low priority" means I'm the > only person who complained. Is that so? I'm had some problems with the -pcprint option on the printer offer line. The -pcprint option converts IBM graphics printer control information to postscript (for printing on a postscript printer). If your ouput contains blank "lines" about 15 pixels tall try this dm command on the converted postscript file before you send it to a postscript device. s/% r@n n/@/linepitch -7.992 def@n n@n@/linepitch -12.000 def@n r/ It converts lines such as ---------------------------------------------------------- imagemask restore grstrt grstrtx 429.00 add grstrty moveto r n grstrt save grstrtx grstrty translate 432.00 8 scale ------------------------------------------------------------- to --------------------------------------------------------------- imagemask restore grstrt grstrtx 429.00 add grstrty moveto /linepitch -7.992 def n /linepitch -12.000 def r grstrt save grstrtx grstrty translate 432.00 8 scale ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Chane Cullens | USENET: chane@mntgfx.mentor.com (503) 526-5267 (day) | UUCP: ...!mntgfx!chane 8500 SW Creekside Place | GENIE: CCULLENS
