I posted a note a few weeks ago reporting what I learned when I called
NeXT to ask where my Lotus Improv was. Well, they didn't lie to me;
they told me it would get to my by the end of June and I received it
yesterday!
I'm glad my confidence in NeXT wasn't shaken by another stall.

A week later it was waiting in my post office box. Interestingly enough, today I also received two copies (in one package) of the NeXTstep Advantage brochure. (It's nice.) I wonder if I got it as part of the "Welcome Package" for my '040 upgrade, or someone at NeXT saw my posting about not being able to print it on any of my (DEC) postscript printers? (I ftp'd one copy from nova.cc and one from cs.orst with the same results...I also tried putting a %!\n at the beginning of the files as someone suggested but still nada) Two copies was great too because I can keep one at work (to aid in my tireless(?) attepmts to push NeXT on campus) and one at home. Thanks NeXT! tjb -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Thomas Baker Voice: (603) 743-4987 | | P.O.

Non-standard in a strictly standard, by-the-book sort of way, as DEC will do. If you download (with lpr) the error handler found in /usr/lib/transcript/ehandler.ps (on your NeXT) before you send the job to the printer, you should get a printout that gives you the PostScript error. If you mail that error message to me, I might be able to help you fix the problem. -- Glenn Reid NeXTMail: glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us RightBrain Software ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn NeXT/PostScript developers 415-326-2974 (NeXTfax 326-2977)
