I have found the hard way that there are some problems with the Word 5.0 PostScript header file. The old problems of flushfile and stuff are gone (version 4.0) but a new one has arrived that causes CAP users grief and probably other (Novell) users as well if their spooler software handles procsets. Microsoft begins a procset and never ends it. Any system that is looking for procsets swallows your whole document in the process. You can manually edit the header to make it a complete procset. Microsot MAY have a fix for this. I admit that I have not contacted them about this. How many people print Word 5 over CAP??. I probably should have called Microsoft. Have you ever tried to explain to a front line technical support person that your PC spools to Unix running CAP over Appletalk and ethernet and that it captures PostScript procsets and that the Postscrp.ini file contains an incomplete procset? What's a procset? <-- probable response! Sorry... the last two paragraphs are because I am feeling guilty for not calling to report it. tj .
