Has any one been successful in printing out the quipu docs from the .ps files in isode-interim? Neither I nor another colleague have been successful at this. All we get is the text printed out (mostly) one word per line. Try, for example, isode-interim/doc/ps/quipu-new.ps ... not being familiar with PostScript I have been unable to "debug" the file. Any help or suggestions welcome! We don't seem to have a local copy of TeX so I can't start it from scratch. Thanx: Ernest H.

To those of you who received the message below and put some thought into it and perhaps even responded with suggestions and help .. MY APOLOGIES! I seem to really be having trouble with only one document, namely, doc/ps/quipu-new.ps. And since there is an ASCII version of this already it is now of considerably less concern that I print from the .ps file. (It is only a curiosity at this point that has left us a bit puzzled.) Other major documents are printing OK. Thanx again for everyone's help. ----- Begin Included Message ----- From isode-RELAY@NIC.DDN.MIL Fri Apr 5 21:22:45 1991 To: isode@nic.ddn.mil Subject: Printing of Doc Set Cc: quipu-support@cs.ucl.ac.uk, Ernest.Hayden@EBay, berries@Eng Content-Length: 643 X-Lines: 22 Has any one been successful in printing out the quipu docs from the .ps files in isode-interim?

Two things to look for: the first two characters in the file shoud be %! and you shouldn't have any control-Ds ^d in the file. Some mailers also insert a leading space on each line of included files in order to avoid printer carriage control (for line printers) which also can confuse a postscript interpreter.
