Urgent!! I need to get in touch with anyone who has successfully print out PS files generated by FrameMaker 2.0d on the NeXT computer to Linotronic L300 imagesetters (RIP4). Problem: While trying to print out the aforementioned PS file, the L300 puked "dict full" or something to that effect. I remember a while ago, someone mentioned that NeXT DPS has a 400-entry dictionary stack whereas the RIP 4's PS has a dictionary stack limit of only 300 entries max. There are several Lino bureaus that have successfully printed from the NeXT, so, someone must have figured a way around this problem. How did the PS files get from the NeXT to the Lino? The PS files were generated from FrameMaker's print panel's Save option (with L300 selected as the output device). The files were transferred onto 1.44MB MSDOS floppies via a folder mounted by a 386PC running PC-NFS. The PS files were NOT translated in any way, shape, or form. System: NeXT 040 Cube with OD, Micropolis 660MB HD, 16MB RAM, etc. running System 2.0. Software: FrameMaker 2.0d. Imagesetter: Linotronic L300 with RIP 4. Please respond to the e-mail address listed below. I will post a summary when this problem is solved. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion. :-) Joe jchin@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca -- ************************************************************** * "Kill the body and the head will die" (Hunter S.
