If you're working with a scratch space, be sure to change to the scratch directory before starting the transfer. If you upgrade your software, you should also consider submitting a test slide before doing batches of slides. The Sapphire film recorder uses a front end system called JetStream. To submit the slides simply print the final image file to the Project Vincent print queue called jetstream . Processing time depends on the number of slides waiting to be processed, so you might not receive the message immediately.
Image files can be very large.
Computer accounts cannot be used to pay for slides. You can also submit questions to the isu.cc. This newsgroup also includes discussions concerning the use of the film recorder. You can also sign up for one of the short courses offered through the Computation Center. Workshops on orientation to Project Vincent include a basic introduction to Ultrix, editors, mail and network services, programming tools, and local newsgroups.
