- I too have troubles using PostScript files made at home on an Archie (R/O 2)
- files made with all versions of printerPs don't work from Impression Junior and
- DTP. This only seems to apply to documents as my title page from Draw+ works just
- fine. The support staff here just spent half an hour trying to suss it out but can't
- and just say it's something to do with dialects, while mumbling about non-standard
- systems.
- Needless to say I'm narked, all I get from my lovely assignment is the end sheet saying
- who sent it...
