The first problem is that, being in Europe, we use A4 size paper and
the transcript programs apparently clip to 8.5 x 11. I first
encountered this in enscript -r. This resulted in the bottom line
being almost completely clipped and also the first character from each
line was almost entirely gone. Changing the following definition in
enscript.pro from
/Landscape{90 rotate 0 -15840 translate}def
to
/Landscape{90 rotate 90 -15705 translate}def
has solved that problem. However, I still lose the bottom line when
I lpr to the printer (which is a LaserWriter+). So my first questions
are:
Did I fix the right part with regards to enscript?
Where do other fixes need to go to cope with A4 paper?
Part 2. Ditroff stuff.
This part of the distribution doesn't seem to have been built correctly.
And the instalation manual is quite vague in this area. Also, my
knowledge of {di}troff is about nil. Can somebody tell me what is
supposed to go where so that things (psdit, etc) work like the man
pages say they do? Also, we have the DWB stuff from Death Star and we
have a 4.3BSD 785. Has anybody gotten this stuff to build and run? If
so, how? As you can see, we are just getting things put together here.
If you have any information that will make this less traumatic, please
let me know.
Thanks greatly
