I thought this could be helpfull to someone, because the problem
I met relies on one single line changed in the documentation of PCNFS.
===================================
I'm using Word4 and PC-NFS 3.01,( without any problem ,though it was
described as "unreliable" in PCNFS 3.0) for Postscript output.
(You just need to modify postscript.ini as stated in the documentation to have
everything working fine)
To print a file, you issue that command:
net print postscript.ini myfile.ps
I made a .BAT file to do that job.
When upgrading to PC-NFS 3.5a, I discovered it was no longer possible to print
Postscript file coming from Word4 ( other postcript files from various
packages were still printing as usual)
I stopped my spool queue and saw that PC-NFS 3.5 had send two files
in the queue (postscript.ini AND myfile.ps) instead of sending one
file composed of postscript.ini+myfile.ps as PC-NFS 3.01 used to do.
I then red again ,and closely, the documentation to discover
that the command to print a Postscript file from Word4 had changed to:
copy postscript.ini+myfile.ps myfile2.ps
net print myfile2.ps
Everything went back to normal using that procedure.
=====================================
A part of that, I've been happy to find, coming with 3.5a patch,
the -q switch of NET.EXE program which allows you to avoid
the awful "Abort,Retry,Ignore" message that was so confusing
when you fail on login.
