- Here's a funny one that was pointed out to me by one of my users the other
- day. In 5.5-1, the banner page that gets printed seems to be missing a
- whole paragraph of useful information that existed under 5.4-3 (and
- possibly 5.5 - I didn't hang around at 5.5 very long). As a workaround for
- the users I have told them that they could use the /NOTE or /HEADER
- qualifier for the time being, but /header prints out at the top of every
- page and they were happier with the old setup. Being a University, our
- users have quite a few different versions of files hanging around and it's
- pretty essential that we know exactly which version we printed. I've looked
- through the release notes and help text and can't spot anything to do with
- this. Apart from re-writing the print symbiont ( Yuuccchhh :-( ) , is there
- any way to fix this? Did I miss something in the manuals?
