Configuration: Linotype typesetter ditroff with tpscript or dpost Sun OS 4.1.1 Printing a catalog - page layout 7inches wide, 9 inches long Problem: 1 - we only get cut marks at top of page (execpt for last page we get both top and bottom). 2 - how do we get rid of the blank paper (the lino thinks we are are using 8.5x11 paper so we have 2inches of unsed paper. Notes: This stuff runs fine using ditroff and a VAX 11/750 on a CG8400. thanks, -- Bradley Smith Network & Technical Services @ Bradley University, Peoria, IL brad@bradley.edu --- 309-677-2337

Does the "DESC" file have the pagelength parameter right? You'll want to set it to 9 inches. In order to not interfere with other uses of ditroff, you'll probably want to copy the /usr/lib/font/dev<xxx> ASCII width tables to /usr/lib/font/dev<yyy>, adjust pagelength, and recompile the widths with makedev. (or PD mkfont if your ditroff didn't come with makedev). This should solve (2), and make (1) irrelevant. -- Chris Lewis, clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca or ...uunet!mitel!cunews!latour!ecicrl!clewis Psroff support: psroff-request@eci386.uucp, or call 613-832-0541 (Canada) **** somebody's mailer is appending .bitnet to my From: address.

That's the correct behaviour: if all pages are printed on one piece of paper you can split it in individual pages by cutting at the cut-marks. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@bull.nl> (UUCP: ...!{uunet,mcsun,hp4nl}!nlbull!jos) -- Bull Nederland NV, Product Support Unix, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
