This message is addressed to some rare bird who knows both UNIX and Host Access - and possibly something about PostScript. At my company we create graphics on our MAC using applications like CricketDraw, Illustrator, and Minicad. Having created the graphic, we then create its ASCII PostScript file and, by using Host Access, send that ASCII file over an Ethernet to one of our UNIX machines. Then, working under UNIX, we process the file with suitable macros. We have been doing this successfully for years with files created by CricketDraw, have recently done a few with files created by Illustrator. Just recently we have begun doing it with files created by Minicad. In the case of MInicad, we were OK with simple graphics, but when I tried to send over the POstSCript file of a very complex drawing, I got this UNIX error message: "1 base linefeeds received in ASCII mode. File may not have been transferred correctly." And, indeed, the transmitted file cannot be processed. Can anyone tell me where my problem might lie. Since this might require dialog, I would much appreciate someone phoning me at 508-392-2965 (E.S.T.) Best time to call is 9:30 AM. If I do not answer, have my operator page me. Dick Phillips
