I have FTPed the files for the Rochester Connectionist Simulator,
and have been tring for some time to get a print out of the
documentation (which is in Postscript), but I have had no luck.
The printer acts (for some time) like its going to print it out
then nothing. I tried it on a Digital printer and a QMS printer.
Could any (kind) person give me some suggestions ? I've included
the first 20 lines of one of the "troublesome" files.
Many Thanks,
Darrell Schiebel

Actually, <simulator-bugs@cs.rochester.edu> would be a better place to post your questions... There is also a <simulator-users@cs.rochester.edu> mailing list. Mail me or <simulator-users-request@cs.rochester.edu> if you wish to join. I have found that problems printing the RCS manual are often due to broken "psrev" (postscript reverse page order) programs. Try editing the file so that the first line is just `%!' instead of `%!PS-Adobe-2.0'. This will prevent psrev from trying to mess around with the file. One way to test for this problem is to compare the original file and the output of a "psrev | psrev" command. It should be the same. It is possible that your printer is running out of virtual memory. There is usually a log file somewhere (on my machine in /usr/adm) which will have a transcript of error messages from the printer. Finding the error message (if any) may produce valuable clues.
