- I printed golfer.ps with:
-
- gs -sDEVICE=epson -sOUTPUTFILE=par: golfer.ps
-
- and it worked fine... I checked it against the output from Post 1.7, and they

- them for quite a while... I'm gonna let it have about a couple hours to look
- at them later, see if that makes a difference... The only two problems I
- have with this program are: (make that three)
-
- 1: The docs suck, and the archive is/was laid out extremely poorly.
-
- 2: I can't seem to get it to output to the Amiga screen.. Thank god
- for post...

- 3: The epsonc driver doesn't seem to work..
