[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Problems with HyperLabeler1.2 -- how to generate postscript file

sun@venus.ycc.yale.edu (09/23/88)

Greeting,

	I recently downloaded Chris Christensen's HyperLabeler1.2, And I
liked it. However, I have problem with generating a postscript output file
for the labels. I guess the problem has to do with the XCMD resource
PRINTRECT (Chris Christensen, )1987), which does a screen dumping of a
portion of the scree. Could anyone help me with this? 

	When I click the Print Label button and holding down the F key, I
do get a message box saying "generating postscript file" and it does indeed
create a file named postscript0. However, this postscript file only
contains some header information, not the picture (I include one as an
example). Is it the feature of screen dumping itself, or just a matter of
how the XCMD printrect is written? Any cure for this? 

	Thank you for your help and comments.

Hmmmm...

I have never tried the stack with a postscript printer. I suspect you are
correct about the printrect XCMD. Does anyone have a fragment of code (LSC
preferably) that does a screen dump to a postscript printer?

P.S. Just out of curiosity, where did you find HyperLabeler?

Chris, Was the AHUG PD disk the only place that you uploaded your stack??
Get the feeling this might be like dropping a message in a bottle into the 
ocean??

	I have replied Chris' question on where I download the HyperLabeler 
by personal E-mail. Here it goes again. I FTPed this stack from 
SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU under the directory INFO-MAC. I also found it on 
YaleVM as well. -- Kang Sun
