The Postscript version of NUJ # 11 is broken, via inserted TopDraw
drawings which use a NeXT Postscript feature that doesn't exist on
non-NeXT implementations. This bug affects pages 5 through 7,
inclusive. I was able to work around the bug with the following fix:
1. Remove the 'PS-Adobe-2.0' from the top line, leaving only
'%!'. On my system, this prevents Transcript from
re-ordering the pages, and otherwise believing the eps
comments and messing with the file. It might not be
necessary at your site, and it might not be necessary at
all, but I find it works if you do it.
2. Insert a line as the second line of the file, as follows:
/setalpha { pop } bind def
This will nullify the effect of the unsupported feature
(setalpha), and let the file print.
Also, when I tried to uncompress the compressed Postscript version of
NUG # 11 on sonata.cc.purdue.edu, compress dumped core. I was able to
get a working copy from cs.orst.edu. I have sent root@sonata and
Erica mail, so this should be fixed shortly (or perhaps as late as
Monday, considering the holidays).
