 I had same symptons and took a print of A4 sized ileafps-file
 on A3 sized paper. I found a corner (two short lines) at top
 right corner outside a4 area.

 GS-error message was somethinf about invalid acces.
 I thinks pl2ps creates false code but I cannot point
 right place.

use a document management tool, whether it is RDM from Interleaf or
any other product. I am interested in their comments/conclusions.

Subject: printing interleaf 5.3-generated Postscript with GhostScript 2.4
Date: 28 Aug 92 12:38:13 GMT
Organization: none

There was some discussion lately about printing Interleaf 5.3-generated
Postscript with GhostScript 2.4. There is a problem because Interleaf
redefines mark to 0 in line 35 of every document:

/mark 0 def

Ghostscript 2.4 and 2.4.1 don't like this. The best solution is to put a % in
front of the line, effectively making comment out of it.
It is also possible to change some of the gs .ps files. Just send me mail if
you want these (few) changes.

This problem has been removed in ghostscript 2.5. Unfortunately, there are
other problems with gs 2.5, which I have reported to the author. I expect them
to be removed in gs 2.5.1, which is scheduled for September.

Yes, if your Interleaf version is at least 5.3. We are
running Interleaf on Sun workstations here; the following
instructions may be inaccurate for other platforms:

If you install Interleaf yourself, you can set up a
"printer" that produces an encapsulated PostScript file by
running printer_install and selecting "EPS File" when
printer_install asks you for the printer type. (You'll need
to give the install program a phony name for the network
name of the "printer.") Or, get your administrator to do
this.

If you don't want to set up the EPS file as a printer
selection, you can also run the pl2ps
(printerleaf-to-postscript) filter from the Unix command
line. First, generate a printerleaf file from your document.
Then, type:

  pl2ps -EPS  -rm 0 -i [input file] -o [output file] -ppd NULL.PPD

(Type "pl2ps -usage" for brief information on pl2ps command
line switches. Here, "-rm 0" specifies no registration
marks. It turns out that there is also quite a bit of
helpful information in the Release Notes, although you
probably won't need it if you just set up the EPS "printer"
selection.)

Regardless of which method you use to generate the EPS,
you'll need to set up the source document correctly:

First, be aware that the EPS "printer" will filter a single
page (appropriately enough).

Second, if you want to filter an object that will be placed
on a page in some other program, you'll need to set the
document size appropriately. (This is the only way I know of
to let Interleaf know where the boundaries of the object
are.) Since all our EPS file needs have been graphics, I do
this by setting the frame size to "Contents," then back to
"Fixed" to see the actual size of the graphic. Then, I open
the Page property sheet and enter the frame height and width
values as the page size. If someone knows a better way, I'd
like to hear about it.

Another possible solution-- select your document icon and access its
PROPS sheet. Edit the save format to save ASCII. Close the property sheet
and select and resave the document. Once its in ASCII, try the reopen.

Also, check your resources. If upon the last edit your file grew, but your
memory or paging allocation has not grown, check with your system adminis-
trator and see if granting larger access to the memory and paging pool helps.

As I understand it, due to the design of FLEXlm, you must have ONE MASTER
license server, and then some optional EVEN number of slave license servers.
The total number of license servers must be an ODD number.  You say you
have TWO license managers.  You need one or three.

At least that's how it was explained to me...

Yup.   At least in 5.3, it can.

Get your sysadmin to run install/printer_install and create a bogus printer
entry called "eps" with a menu name of "<EPS file>" (or whatever you like).
When it asks you what kind of printer you're adding, the #1 menu item is
"EPS File".  Pretty simple, huh?

  I've got a lisp program that occasionally needs to put a new microdoc
in a frame, but I'm having a little trouble with it.  I can create the
udoc, put text into it, link it into the frame/doc, and get it to
display, but I can't get the width set properly.  (The udoc contains
text along these lines: ``WARNING:\nDanger, Will Robinson!'', but the
udoc always seems to be Size'd->To Frame->Horizontal, when what I want
is for it to be a little wider than the longest line -- the way it
would be if I typed in the text by hand.)
  I've also found that manipulating existing udocs from a lisp program
sometimes causes them to do wierd things, like resize themselves
vertically to some huge height.  Anybody know why, or how to stop it?

I have encountered the same problem a number of times before. Sometimes
if you are in luck the back up files are still OK.  What I normally do
is go to the desktop directory where the document is stored and rename
the back-up "xxxx.doc_1" to "yyyy.doc" and try opening the file "yyyy".

However, the most recent work is not saved in the back
up files, hence I would be most interested in any other solution.

Summary: incompatable with LaTeX?
Organization: University of Illinois, Dept. of Comp. Sci., Urbana, IL
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1992 21:39:19 GMT

I'm trying to include a figure I created in Interleaf into
a LaTeX document.
I saved the file as postscript (made the custom page prop composition
font system = ps).
The postscript file prints fine all by itself.

I made the standard postscript figure reference in LaTeX, converted the
dvi file to postscript, then tried to print it.  The printer complains
about a long block of numbers and letters (Hexadecimal?).  Nearly
everything but the text is printed when I comment out the block.
There are no instances of the text strings in question in the
postscript file.
Therefore I conclude that Interleaf is generating some strange
text encoding instead of the typical postscript: setfont and show.

Any suggestions? (other than abandoning LaTeX :-)

Date: 2 Sep 92 07:41:43 GMT
Organization: none

Environment: Interleaf 5.3 on a HP9000/750 running HP/UX 8.07.

When you ask ileaf to print the current page to our postscript printer, it
insists on making the .deskprint directory group and world writable. It even
notifies this change. This does not happen when printing the entire document.

Even when I change the permissions back to 755 during the ileaf session,
subsequent printing of current pages will no longer try to change this.
However, the first attempt from a fresh invocation of ileaf does.

This looks like a bug in ileaf to me. Is there a fix we could apply to the
Lisp sources somewhere?

The main problem is that this behavior creates a security problem on our
systems.
