I'd just like to cast a vote in favor of this error handler. I've used
it for the past year developing several PostScript procsets and it has
been invaluable. I distribute it to all our test systems so that when
EQA has a problem I can download this, resend the file, and get a clear
picture of what went wrong. It's a great alternative to LaserTalk
and 9 times out of 10 it tells you enough that you can see your error
right away. You do need to know the password of the printer, however.
