Malcolm,
RE: A real strange problem. Have you tried deleting the ^D's from the PS
file and then copying to PAR:?
I take it that ^D's stands for control characters? If so, yeah, I have
stripped them out using TxEd. But it seems the only way I can output is
sending the file out the LSR: port of my multi-port card, and then only a
postscript file, not through the PPage application directly. But you know I
think ultimately its faster. As long as there are no errors in the file. Of
course since I have to stay compatible with my partner's work when we work
on different parts of the same job, I'm forced to AMAXII it with Pagemaker
4.0 or QuarkXpress 3.0. and either sneaker net the file over to her on a
floppy or Syquest cart, or save it as postscript, reboot as an Amiga and
download the PS file through the appletalk port in the Amiga! It sounds
confusing but whatever it takes to get the work done, I'll do it! If only I
could use my appletalk port while in AMAXII mode. I hope (but kinda doubt
it) DigiFex will make their card work with AmaxII.
