Is comp.lang.postscript archived somewhere? If so, where? Also, I've heard that there is a postscript archive server somewhere. Would someone help me out and mail the internet address of that server to me? I'm specifically interested in finding a program to convert postscript files to encapsulated postscript. If anyone knows where I can find one of those I'd like to hear about it. Thanks much. -- Dan Guilderson ryan@oxford.hw.stratus.com Stratus Computer Marlboro, MA #include <stddisclaimer.h>

Also, Since Jan 24, 1990, I have been archeiving the Postscript group. It is up to 8 files in pkarc format, that range from 100K or so to nearly 300K. I missed about 20 or 30 messages due to to rapid expire times, but other than that, It is complete. To my knowlege there is no archive server, but that may soon change. I recently aquired a small Xenix system (an old TRS-80 MODEL II with a 6Mhz 68000 upgrade and a small harddisk) When I get the software to create a usenet node, one of the things that I plan to do is to put a server up to supply the archive. Don't hold your breath. I have to invest quite a bit of cash yet. (A good external 2400 baud modem, and some more hard disk space) If someone would like to make them available over a usenet site let me know. It really needs to be an archive server, rather than an FTP site, because not all people (my self included) have access to FTP...

If anyone knows where I can find The server ps-file-server@adobe.com has a document that documents EPS. It is basically a matter of wrapping a few comments around your code, and computing a bounding box, (how to do this seems to be to measure the output, or at least that seems to be the easiest). You probably could use a simple shellscript to do it. Any of you *nix wizards have one handy ? > > -- > Dan Guilderson > ryan@oxford.hw.stratus.com > Stratus Computer > Marlboro, MA #include <stddisclaimer.h>
