[comp.lang.postscript] Postscript from Microsoft Word 5.0

sleersse@umn-d-ub.D.UMN.EDU (Scott Leerssen) (12/17/89)

This is my first time posting so excuse me if I screwed this up.

Anyway, does anyone have some advice on how I can take postscript output
from Microsoft Word 5.0 and upload it to a unix system.  I have tried it 
with some small text files but our printers don't seem to understand the 
postscript as I just get blank pages.  The files start out with

%PS-Adobe-2.0

and we have Adobe 1.0 postscript if that makes any difference.  Any help is 
appreciated and please excuse my ignorance on the subject.

You need to copy up the POSTSCRP.INI file as a prolog to the output
from Microsoft Word.  You will also need to remove the ^D at the
end of the .INI file before combining it with the output of Word.
