I am trying to force Mac PostScript through a non-apple PostScript interpreter.
Currently, I am having problems with a statement in the LaserPrep file that
looks like this:
/fc{save vmstatus exch sub 50000 lt
{(%%[|0|]%%)=print flush}if pop restore}bdf
From what little I understand of PostScript, this is defining "fc" to be
an alias for the stuff between the outer braces. However, the
(%%[|0|]%%)=print part is getting triggered repeatedly and causing my
interpreter to choke. If I take it out, leaving:
/fc{save vmstatus exch sub 50000 lt
{flush}if pop restore}bdf
it works fine, but now I don't know if I'm aiming a gun at my foot for later
things. Could some give me some idea as to what this is trying to do and
if it's OK to make the change I've made? Thank you very much for all your
help.
