[comp.sys.next] Updated FrameMaker crashes

das15@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu (Douglas A Scott) (04/05/91)

I have just run the FrameMaker update package, which says of course that there
is documentation for it in the release notes [not online there isnt].  So I
took a good guess, and with a little work, got the new files installed in
the right place [I am reasonably sure].  However, when I try to run it, I get
the following messages in the console:

maker: Using /LocalApps/FrameMaker.app/.fminit2.0
maker: Using DEBUG mode
maker: Using HEAP-CHECKING mode
maker: DisplayWidth 1120 DisplayHeight 832
maker: starting postscript download
maker: finished postscript download
maker: Starting FrameMaker 2.0B2. Copyright (c) 1986-1989 Frame Technology

Apr  5 00:05:09 zardoz FrameMaker[828]: An uncaught exception was raised
Apr  5 00:05:09 zardoz FrameMaker[828]: DPS client library error: PostScript
program error, DPSContext 1321a0
Apr  5 00:05:09 zardoz FrameMaker[828]: %%[ Error: undefined;
OffendingCommand: fillbox ]%%

...and it dies.  Now, I dont know what the update does (did), but FrameMaker
*did* run OK before I did the upgrade.  What did I do wrong?

I hope this isnt one of those asked-100-times-before questions.  I try to
keep up on those.  Please send me email rather than clogging the Net any
further.  Thank you very much.
