I have been playing around with "mp" program for sometimes. Sometimes, When I print Unix manual pages using mp(e.g man tar | mp -f), only the first few pages are printed and the rest get aborted. I have checked the output of mp and it seems to be O.k (i.e in the form that it shall be.). However, when I delete the control characters found in the Unix manual pages, all things are printed. By the way, the printer I use is Apple Laser printer. I would apprecite if anyone can help. Thanks.

Older versions of MP were prone to running out of VM several pages into a listing. Deletion of control characters probably works by reducing the number of pages. See if you can find a newer version of MP. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541, Internet: clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca UUCP: uunet!mitel!cunews!latour!ecicrl!clewis Moderator of the Ferret Mailing List (ferret-request@eci386) Psroff mailing list (psroff-request@eci386)
