Not exactly.  The MS-Word PS output already started with %!, so it was
being accepted as PostScript files already.  The problem was entirely
with the braindead MS-Word PostScript driver putting a control-D at
the top of the output.

Writing a filter and getting it to work with lpd without mangling the
existing filters seems to be too much trouble (I'd consider that the
*hardest* way :-).  Most PostScript lpd filters prepend some sort of
PostScript code to the file (e.g., for banners, etc.) before sending
it to the printer.  So the easiest solution would be to find the file
that contains the prepended code and insert some PostScript code that
defines control-D in userdict to be the null string.

If this still doesn't work for you, ask for help in
comp.lang.postscript.  This question has already surfaced several
times in that newsgroup.

	I tried it at 9600 baud and it was pretty slow. I think it might be 
usable if you used 19,200 with some type of compression. It would be nice if
IBM would implement CSLIP or PPP to help throughput.

The situation is this: I have several xterm windows on my screen and

automatically or manually) and when I come back from lockup,
I won't be able to get keyboard focus in one of my xterm windows.
I mean, nothing works: clicking in all the right places, hitting

Can anybody offer any help, or has everyboody else just quit using
PMX because it's too slow and buggy?

Hello. This is not the FAQ how do I run TCP/IP and the Requester 8-).
That works for me a while. My problem is that I didn't have had any 
problems with IBM's TCP/IP Version 1.2 and the Beta-Requester from Novell. 
(Only the well known problems with the Beta-Requester, no problems with 
TCP/IP). A few days ago, I upgraded the Requester and since then Netware 
works fine but TCP/IP dies after some time. Pinging my address still works 
but all other addresses have become unaccessable. Sometimes TCP/IP works for
hours but mostly it dies during the first ftp or after 200 pings to another
host. 8-(
Is there any hope that this problem vanishes when I get TCP/IP 1.21?
(Getting this upgrade in Germany is veeeeery difficult, I'm waiting since
June :-[ ) Or does the new odinsup differ from the old one? Or?

thanx:

Someone sent me a note saying he tried to do a
   get ha:profile exec a (crlf ascii
and it worked but he got an error message; trying again without the
   (crlf ascii
worked perfectly.

EPM assumes that the file is text and automatically provides the CRLF and
ASCII options (and LRECL 255 if the file is wider than 80 columns), unless
the host filetype ends in BIN; in that case, a binary transfer is performed
(and RECFM V is used).  These assumptions can be overridden by explicitly
providing file transfer options in brackets following the filename.  E.g.,
   save hd:sample assemble a [recfm f lrecl 80]

If the code page in use is 932 or 942, ASCII is changed to JISCII.

We are currently running DBMS version 4.0-379 for our financial applications. 
My system manager has been reminding us that we are not current with the latest
DBMS version 4.3 (that's an understatement!).  

Under our current plans, we do not intend to utilize any of the new features
under version 4.3.  We will be reviewing our database needs in a year or two to
see if we want to stay with DBMS or convert to RMS files or Rdb.  I am only
considering upgrading for two reasons: Performance increases and avoiding
having our version of DBMS become obsolete at some time.

The way that I am currently looking at it, unless there are serious performance
enhancements I doubt that I want to bother with the task of upgrading at this
point.  

What kind of performance enhancements are there with the versions of DBMS since
4.0-379?  Email me directly at HERMANS@CRF.CUIS.EDU please!  Thanx in advance

There is a [SYSD.SYSEXE] directory and the top level *.SYS files and
that is all there is.

We have a 6000-320 here that replaced a cluster several years ago. The 
HSC70 that was part of that cluster was kept (along with the star coupler) 
and attached to the 6000-320. All of the 320's disk drives are running off 
of the HSC.

I am looking at getting rid of the HSC and coupler (no future plans to
cluster) and purchasing some KDB50 controllers (we'd have to buy three of 
them) so that we could run the drives "directly" off of the 320. We would 
save future maintenance costs on the HSC and coupler.

I am wondering about the performance difference of running the drives off 
the KDB50's vs. running them off of our current config. - the HSC70. The 
drives are RA90's. Thanks ...

Could it be that the part you're communicating with expects you to send
characters with a certain parity? Modems usually takes any parity but
host systems can insist on even or odd (or even mark!), and simply ignore
characters with wrong parity.
