I am running NeWS 1.1
I have a program, written entirely in PostScript, that gets data from
an input file and draws a (beautiful) picture of a chromosome into a window.
I want to be able to send it to a printer to get a hardcopy of the picture.
So I have another version of the program, without the window stuff and
headed with
%!
The printer (westley) gives me this error message:
banner: shemesh:rena Job: print20 Date: Fri Nov 4 10:24:25 1988
psif: shemesh:rena westley start - Fri Nov 4 10:24:26 1988
psif: initial status - %%[ status: busy; source: serial 25 ]%%
%%[ Error: undefinedfilename; OffendingCommand: file ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
psif: end - Fri Nov 4 10:24:39 1988
Though the necessary file does exist, and is called by its full path name.
My workstation, the printer, and the PostScript interpreter run off the
same server. When I change the program so that all the necessary data is in
the the program itself, no need to read another file, it prints the picture
perfectly.
Am I trying to do the impossible? I'd appreciate any help.
