- These files were intended to be generic - at least as generic as postscript
- is - but with the problems I've been seeing here, and on compuserve, we
- can see that it's far from perfect - please note, at least some people
- have been reporting succes here, so check with them and learn how they
- succeeded - the intent is that you simply "copy filename.ps lpt1" or
- similar, and that works for us - but postscipt printers have so many
- options and settings, and networks and other OSes add to the complexity. We
- certainly will consider what other formats to put on the disk as well
- next time - the docs are written using winword 2 (FYI) -- Alistair
