1) bug 1: the "'s" after the printers name printed on the first page
is in the wrong point size. (I may know enough about
postscript to fix this my self :-) )
2) bug 2: When run on my printer (Jasmine Direct print (which is
actually a Qume CrystalPrint, with new labels stuck on.)
Memory is 3 MB, CPU is Weitek 8200, engine is ??? LCD
shutter, PS interpreter is a clone with version number
3.02) with systemdict as the starting level, it prints 10
pages beautifully, and then dies with a VMERROR. Except for
the first dozen or so lines in the first column on page 1,
the rest is all font info (about 4 columns of info per
font, so it dies during the 7th font). What is all this
gunk it is printing out about each font? how do I get
around the VMerror (The available VM memory does meet the
required minimum as specified in the red book, where it
details the minimum requirements for VM is 240000 bytes).
How do I findout how to use commands that are listed in
the various dictionaries, but not in any of the Adobe
books?
