(Or send > me a bug report and I'll forward it to QA.) My printer suppliment doesnot say. I don't know about the NEC 890. I have recommended to the client that he create a dictionary for his variables and he has done so. The info in the red book, is basically all most people have to go on, apparently most manufacturers do not mention the limits. Inside PostScript (from Systems of Merrit) gives a length of 200 for the Qms version 38. The client saw that, and saw the same info in the red book, and when the length didn't match, decided it wasn't userdict. H Thanks for the information. Cheers Woody > that are set in Stone (so to speak) for every printer. ARRRRGGGGGHHHH! This one requires a dump truck and a front end loader....
