Help...
I am attempting to transfer an MS-WORD,
postscript file, using FTP to the NEXT. When
trying to print the file, the result was:
error, postscript errors.
Any ideas ???

Word sends a bunch of macro definitions in front of the file that you "print." With Word 5.0, the file is named "postscrp.ini." You have to tweak the macros a bit to remove the stuff that checks for pre-loaded macros. Here are the changes I made to postscrp.ini (Word 5.0): 8,15d7 < %%BeginExitServer: 0 < userdict /msinifile known < {msinifile (POSTSCRP) eq {stop} if} if < serverdict begin 0 exitserver < userdict /msorigstate known {msorigstate restore} if < save /msorigstate exch def < /msinifile (POSTSCRP) def < %%EndExitServer 186c178 < /PSe {restore end currentfile closefile} bind def --- > /PSe {restore end} bind def 323d314 < ^D -- Tom Putnam Assistant Director Internet: tmp@mentor.cc.Purdue.EDU Purdue University Computing Center BITNET: TMP@PURCCVM Mathematical Sciences Bldg.
