Subject: Printing a mac postscript file on a Sun workstation
Organization: The Ohio State University Dept. of Computer and Info. Science
Distribution: usa
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 1992 17:09:44 GMT


I want to print a MS Word 4.0 file from a Sun workstation. To do this, I
redirected the output of MS Word 4.0 to a postscript file using command-k.

I then uploaded the postscript output to my Sun account. When I try to
print it on a network laserwriter, (using lpr) it prints the postscript text
verbatim, i.e., doesn't interpret it. For e.g., the first few lines of the
printout looked as follows :

I run System 7.1 on my PB100.  It works fine.  System 7.1 works on 68000

There are high even TV's that are like stereo component systems -
a seperate tuner and monitor.  These are typically high end systems
so the inconvienence and money involved may not be worth it.  Still,
I know of people who have do this.  (they usually end up with seperate
computer and TV monitors)

Another good word processor to print just odd (or even) pages is 
MacWrite II.  I've been doing it for one or two years. :-)
Sometimes I'll convert Word document to MacWrite II just for this

You can uncross your fingers - FullWrite works under System 7.1.

In my less-than-exhaustive testing, the only thing that broke under System 7.1
was MacTerminal.

I have a copy of a life game written by Bill Atkinson (remember him?)
which is dated 1984. It played on the 128K macs and still plays on my
SE/30 under 7.0.1

I have no idea where I got it (years ago) and no really easy way to send
it to anyone electronically. Maybe someone else knows something about
it?

It is a fun game to waste a bit of time with.

We have a problem with printing some files on our Apple Laserwriter IIg.  So
far we have has this problem from Chemdraw files embedded in Word 4
documents and with Cricket Draw inside Word 4.  When we talked to our local
Apple Dealer they said that Apple Technical Support had said our problem was
caused by the fact that these parts of our files causing problems were PICT
files at 72 dpi and we were trying to print them at 300dpi.  

The problem is that some short lines on the diagrams are not printed.

Does anybody have a fix for the printer driver or whatever is causing the
problem?

Incidentally, all the files print perfectly on all our earlier Apple
Laserwriters such as Laserwriter IInt and IIntx.

I think a direct-connect video and SCSI Ethernet is a better choice because
the Mac is communicating far more with the screen than with the net, unless
it would be an Apple Share server, but then a color screen would be a luxury

There are good Ether/SCSI products, like Nuvotech (now FOCUS) Nuvolink SC,
or Asante, or Dayna. I would buy Nuvolink SC, it's fast and reliable. Asante
sometimes has problems with their own software, but works without any
problem when used with Apples (strange).

Please use fewer characters and don't crosspost hardware  related questions
to comp.sys.mac.misc and comp.sys.mac.wanted, you would earn more echo while
staying in comp.sys.mac.hardware and in comp.sys.mac.comm

OS/2 HPFS supports 254 character, multiple line file names, and if the

WPS doesn't need a command line window - but it is rather convenient -
I'd like a mac command line program too, but the only one's i've seen
don't work with sys7 - and Work Place Shell is the real name - I don't
know anyone who actually refers to it as the WPS in spoken

  It is an unfortunate fact, that threads take along their original subject
line, although it possibly doesn't have anything to do with the contents any-
more. And I hope we agree that content is more important than "label".

  I never tried to imply that MS-DOS or Windows is easy to use. We didn't even
mention those two before. (At least not after I entered the discussion). And
I don't want to convince anyone of the superior ease of use of UNIX. (Some-
thing like that doesn't exist!) I just
want to discuss these things based on facts and not like I would try to
discuss religion. And I have the feeling that this is just the case with you.
"There shall be no other computers beside the Mac" (I don't know the exact

be true for some parts of the Mac.

  I pray to God, that this won't happen again! Us German have caused enough
grief in two World Wars and any German in his right mind would never ever
want those times back, since the violence spread by that devil Hitler came
right back at a lot of our own people in those days. We know better than
that, Edward!

  Sorry, folks, no more politics in this group, I promise!!

"David Meyers at Georgia Institute of Technology" observed that several
people are using a VERY GOOD mail encryption technology called PGP (Pretty
Good Privacy)

PGP 2.0 is discussed in detail in Sept 1992 "BoardWatch" BBS magazine.

PGP uses some RSA-ish stuff and other cryptographic technologies. And is
IMPORTED from abroad and therefore in theory can be exported from this
fascist sick country controlled by the NSA.

PGP  2.0 uses IDEA (International Data Encryption Algorithm" from the
Univ. of Switzerland (ETH Zurich) and thus is not controlled or crippled
by NSA "plants" or NSA restrictions.

PGP SOURCE can be obtained from locations directed from its original
author at address "prz@sage.cgd.ucar.edu" but if you bother Philip
Zimmerman unless you are a researcher with important issues, it would be
tacky. Instead FTP the MSDOS source directly from outside the country!

just ftp kauri.vuw.ac.nz  and   cd to /pub/ms-dos/Encryption to get the 
source files "PGP20SRC.ZIP"

If you are not a programmer this knowledge will do you no good for the Mac.
