*** New from the Publications Group at NeXT ***
A PostScript-format version of the "NeXTstep Advantage" brochure is now
available on the following archive servers:
cs.orst.edu: pub/next/documents/NeXT/
sonata.cc.purdue.edu: pub/next/docs/ (still in submissions directory?)
etlport.etl.go.jp: pub/NeXT/documents/NeXTstepAdvantage/
The file name is NeXTstepAdvantage.tar.Z; (its compressed size is 1.3
megabytes; uncompressed, it's 9.5 megabytes). In addition to the
PostScript files listed below, the tar file contains the complete source
code for the brochure's Plotter application (including makefiles, .h, .m,
nib, tiff, and other files).
On the servers there's also an ASCII file called NeXTstepAdvantage_README,
which contains the following information:
____________________________________________________________________________
The NeXTstepAdvantage directory contains the complete contents of "The
NeXTstep Advantage: Application Development with NeXTstep." This manual was
initally written as a sales tool that could be read by programmers,
developers, and other technical people interested in evaluating NeXTstep as
a potential development environment. Because the demand for this manual
has been larger than expected, NeXT Computer, Inc. has decided to make it
available on the Internet archive servers. You have the right to copy and
distribute these files and their hardcopy equivalent, but not the right to
include excerpts in another document without explicit permission from NeXT
Computer, Inc.

Anyone have any luck printing this file out on a non-NeXT printer? I tried to both a DEC PrinterServer 20 and a DEC LN03R. The 01_StepByStep.ps only got to the second page. I'm not at work now so I can't tell if the postscript character encoding thread is applicable here. Any help would be appreciated. tjb -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Thomas Baker Voice: (603) 743-4987 | | P.O.

I don't recall off hand which version of software it [the LPS-40] was running, but its not the newest or latest version. louie
