- ANNOUNCEMENT 92:3
-
- 1) Internet Resource Guide .ps entries now have "cut-lines"
-
- This message is being sent to both the PostScript and Plain Text
- mailing lists. We have made a change in the way that we send out
- PostScript files.
-
- The current distribution of Internet Resource Guide entries brought
- complaints by a few users who had trouble printing the PostScript
- (.ps) entries. We quickly changed our format to include a "cut-here"
- line for section2-2.ps, and promptly got another complaint that we
- broke an automatic program for printing the PostScript entries.
-
- The line is:
-
- --------Cut-Here----The-first-line-of-your-file-must-be-%!PS-Adobe-1.0--------
-
- When you receive a PostScript entry, you must remove this line and
- everthing that precedes it in the file. Otherwise, your printer will
- print the PostScript file as a series of PostScript commands rather
- than formatted printing.
-
- The first line of the PostScript file must be:
-
- %!PS-Adobe-1.0
-
-
- 2) Update news.
-
- o We are pleased to report that since we began our update campaign,
- in June 1992, we have received updates for 75 of the 113 entries
- in the Resource Guide, most of them recent. Twenty-seven updates
- have been distributed to the resource-guide mailing lists, and
- the other 48 are in the pipeline.
-
- o We have also received four new entries, as well as many
- suggestions for entries and requests for templates. To order a
- template, send a message to info-server@nnsc.nsf.net, and place
- the following text in the body of the message:
-
- request: resource-guide
- topic: template
- request: end
-
- o We have shortened Subject field of our "announcement" messages by
- substituting "AN-92:3" in place of "ANNOUNCEMENT 92-3".
-
- Please send questions and suggestions to resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net.,
- and changes in mailing lists to resource-guide-request@nnsc.nsf.net.
