  13. I'm just starting to use the fmprint utility under SunOS and I've run
  14. into a snag.  I use FrameMaker as an embedded part of another
  15. application; when the application wants to print something, it spawns a
  16. new task to run fmprint.  However, if fmprint doesn't work (not enough
  17. memory, no licenses available, etc.) I don't get any feedback in the
  18. form of a return code so the parent task has no way to know that the
  19. attempt to print didn't work.
  20.  
  21. Does anyone know of a way to tell whether fmprint completes successfully?

  25. A fanatic is someone who does what he knows that God would do if God knew the
  26. facts of the case.

  28. Some mailers apparently munge my address; you might have to use
  29. bsmart@bsmart.tti.com -- or if that fails, fall back to
  30. 72027.3210@compuserve.com.  Ain't UNIX grand?
