Keywords:Circular text, Blue Book, error Distribution:na I think I have found an error in Adobe's Blue Book, specifically in the code for the Circular Text (Program 10). I need this routine but keep getting an "out of range error" when the example is executed. HELP! Does anyone know of "corrected code" on an FTP server? Has anyone else had this problem?

I need this >routine but keep getting an "out of range error" I seem to remember this problem coming up before. The source of confusion is a narrow space character in the listing. What looks like "() dup ..." should be "( ) dup ...". -- Mark Isaak imagen!isaak@decwrl.dec.com or {decwrl,sun}!imagen!isaak "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies." - Nietzsche

The blank is there, so it is no error in the book. But printing programs in fixed-width fonts would make it more readable... -- -- Jos Vos <jos@bull.nl> (UUCP: ...!{uunet,mcsun,hp4nl}!nlbull!jos) -- Bull Nederland NV, Product Support Unix, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
