I'm posting this for a friend. He dumped screen and used a program
to convert the output to postscript. The postscript this program
produced wont run however. It's included below and I'd appreciate
any pointers on where the error lies.
thanks.

The first mistake is in the first line, >%!PS-Adobe-1.0 This header specifies that the following file conforms to the Adobe standard. It is not a generic header that means the file is PostScript. If there is anything in your printing system that relies on this information (for instance, if you are running Transcript and have it set to reverse page order), this file will never even make it to the printer. The first program that tries to treat it as an Adobe conforming file will fail, and throw it away as garbage. This is an unfortunately common error (one I have seen in commercial products, would you believe). If your file is not Adobe standard, the header should read "%! " or anything else that begins "%!" and does NOT continue on with "PS-Adobe". The printer doesn't care, but the printing system might. OSU's certainly does...

It is not a generic header that means the file is PostScript. The header %!PS-Adobe- (note the lack of version number) means that the PostScript is minimally conforming. Such things as page reversal and selection filters will work, but not necessarily other operations. -- Ed Gould mt Xinu, 2560 Ninth St., Berkeley, CA 94710 USA ed@mtxinu.COM +1 415 644 0146 "I'll fight them as a woman, not a lady.
