Yes - pick up a copy of the GNU GhostScript package. Among many other goodies,
it includes a driver that will allow you to print to HP LaserJets, and produces
acceptable output (the fonts don't look quite as nice as real PS, but I think
that is intentional to avoid violating copyrights).

Also neat is a tool to interpret and display PS files under X, which saves
alot of paper while you're proofing a document.

Where to get it? I can't say, but it is assuredly on an internet machine
out there somewhere via anonFTP.

It looks like you are running the demo version of Network Node Manager
2.1. The demo versions were intentionally set up with an ultimate time
bomb of 9/1/92. If this is the case then you need to talk to your local 
sales people as the demo version is only supposed to be used for 30 days
if memory serves me correctly.

If you are not running Node Manager then I am not sure what you mean by
the 9.0 version of these products as they are Node Manager related.....

I am *not* speaking for HP of course...  I am personally not comfortable
participating in such a discussion, at least not at any level of detail.
While it would generate useful feedback, it would also risk annoying
people.  You just can't please all the people all the time, and even if
you try, you're likely to create friction, just due to differences of
opinion during the discussion.

Now I hope I'm not annoying anyone by saying that!  :-)

Just as a broad example of conflicting needs (as I perceive them) --
some people are apparently satisfied with the features of HP Diskless as
it stands today (9.x).  While it doesn't inherently make system
administration easier, the close coupling of server and clients does
allow administration of N clustered systems (N <= 255) for less than the
cost of administering two standalone systems (more or less).

But HP Diskless doesn't allow widely heterogeneous clusters -- HP
systems only, and limitations on the types of those that can be servers.
There are other limitations too.  The conflicting need is between
more-and-better-of-same and flexible heterogeneous interoperability.
Personally I always try to provide the greatest possible functionality
that best fits the needs of the most people with the greatest possible
adherence to backward compatibility and standards...  It ain't easy!  :-)

And nothing is what you get. This used to (before 8.0) refer to the number of
entries/size of the text table. HP-UX stopped using a text table in 8.0, but
the heading was kept in sar to make it look like sar. The values you see, 
which should be the same on both sides of the /, are basically meaningless.
At 9.0, the bogus values are replaced by N/A (as in, not applicable, I guess).
There are no kernel parameters that affect it.

Thank you for the several messages about ghostscript having the ability
to convert postscript to laserjet.  This school has an older copy on a
fileserver which doesn't do this.  Whether this is because the older version
doesn't handle it or a driver of some type wasn't installed, I don't know:
somebody else compiled it and I don't have access to the directory it was
compiled in.

I already knew about ghostscript's ability to do this.  I've ftp'd it and
it looks like a nightmare to compile.  Somebody else in our office (who is
much better at these things than I) gave up after a few days of trying
to install it.  The effort didn't seem worth it compared to the
relatively short walk across the building, the problems I've had with the
printer with just PCL, and the demand of other projects.  I am sorry for
the inconvenience.  Since there was a lj2ps, I was hoping for a quick
fix: ps2lj.  I might try to get a hold of the person who originally
installed ghostscript on the file server next, but any action on this is
doubtful since the demand for such a program is nearly nil compared to
other projects (i.e. there is also a commercial postscript previewer
installed, and there are very few laserjets without postscript
cartridges around here).

Ah, an old, rusty memory stirs (I was with the Pascal team when this
stuff was implemented way back in '85 or '86)...

The reason they are done that way was to provide a crude way of
distinguishing escapes from different libraries on the system (not too
important on Unix, where few of the libraries are in Pascal, but vital
on MPE/XL, where the kernel, and most of the system libraries, are
written in Pascal).

> 2.  What's the recommended way of translating the constant PasErr_600?

The exact encoding is an artifact of the system error encoding in the
MPE/XL operating system, where the *lower* half (16 bits) is a
"subsystem number", and the *upper* half is the error number.  Seems
a**-backward, and I never got a good explanation from anyone why it
was done that way.

Thus, 39321792 == 0x25800c0, which translates to subsystem number 0xc0
(192 == Pascal) and error number 0x258 (600).

> 3.  Is there anything useful I can do with the error message catalog,

If I remember right, the /usr/lib/nls/$LANG/pc_msgs.cat catalog has
the text for the errors in pasesc.ph. If you know how to read a
message catalog, you can retrieve the text for these messages from
there.  I *think* the message set number (for catread/catgetmsg et.
al.) is "5".

However, it may be wise to dump the catalog to determine the exact set
number. Again, not having access to a handy HP machine, I don't
remember the exact command which dumps a message catalog..  You may
want to look for all the commands containing the string "cat" in
/usr/bin, or do a "man -k catalog".

When I login to the HP machine and open another window or rlogin/telnet
to any other machine (like DEC 5000/240 or convex), something is
wrong with the terminal type.  For example, when I do an "ls", the tab
characters are shown as "N on top of an L" (N as superscript and L as
subscript).  Did anyone one of you have this problem ?  Please let me
know what terminal type should I set the terminal to.  

Please let me know if I am not clear in what I am saying .....

Well, yeah, but leaving out crucial information doesn't help me understand
how to actually use escape codes.  Anyone could figure out how to use a case
statement to report escape codes, so why show us that and make us go casting
about for the real answer?

Which is the only reason I knew to ask about the message catalog file at all,
and since there's no clue in any of the HP-UX documentation as to how to find 
the message set, you ought to put it in the paserrs file or in the Programmer's
Guide or SOMETHING.  Just so you can tell us poor users to RTFM!

Using a CASE statement was simpler to document and understand.

I didn't say that the message set stuff was in the manual, I just printed
out the ascii source to the message catalog and the comments indicate

That filename should also be in the old man page.

I don't plan on adding any explanation of the internals of the message
catalog other than the names in the man page.  And with the above changes
to the PG, it isn't necessary to refer to the MPE/iX manual in the man page.

We have a HP827 running HP/UX 8.02, using Informix Online 4.0 and 
several 1.3Gb disks, with a default section 5 of approx 900Mb.

A particular application would like to live on a 200Mb partition.

Informix will allow me to configure database chunks specifying a 
raw disk device and an offset, so there shouldn't be a problem 
there.  (X-posting to comp.databases.informix in case someone
knows otherwise)

I would like to configure a unix file system of roughly 200Mb
on the first part of section 5, and a couple informix database 
chunks on the last part.

I have tested this (in part) by using mkfs to make a "short" system 
at the start of section 5.  'df' reported a file system of the 
desired size.

I spoke to HP support and they assure me that it is NOT possible to
divide the section in two as the device driver gives you a 900Mb section,
end of story.   ie.  "that's the way it works".  I was unable to get a
more technical explanation.  When I asked if I could put a short file system
at the start of the partition, and specify an offset to Informix to build 
a raw database using the rest of the partition, they said that this was
also not possible.

Is there anyone out there who has succeeded in such an exercise, 
or is able to tell me why it won't work?

	I am in the need for an executable binary of X (X11R4 or R5)
for one of or lab's workstations. The thing is that our sysadms
refuse to upgrade it and my application crashes the server, because
it is R3. The whole thing is a bit annoying. The workstation has a color
monitor.

	I would appreciate if someone from the net would contact me
on how to send it over here (since it is pretty big). Most of the
applications I will be running will be R5.

	I sincerely appreciate any and all help. I need this as soon
as possible.

Thanks,

-- Carlos
