Hi,

  Have you used behandler.ps ? Could you get it to work ?

  When prepended to an errant PostScript file, it is supposed
to print out error messages, so you have a fighting chance
to debug the postscript.

  It was interesting, and I thought it would prove very useful
on-one-of-those-days .. so I fished out a copy. Then (luckily)
I decided to give it a try. 

Nothing happened when I sent it with a PS file with a known typo
to a DEC LN03 ScriptWriter. Hmm ... bug in the debugger ! :-)

  So I got talking to Fred, to whom this utility is tracable, when
I learnt that each PostScript printer has different names for the
server dictionary etc.  So in general behandler.ps cannot be
general purpose.

  I wish I had with me in that case, a set of behandler files
for most popular printers, so I dont get caught tearing my hair out
with an unknown bug and a strage printer when I have to borrow a
printer when I am on the move.

 +------------
  So have you used behandler.ps ? 
  Has it worked for you ? Which laser printer did you use it with ?
 +------------

If you had to make any modifications in behandler.ps, could you
mail me a copy please ?

Or have you any error handler programs done in PostScript that
work with your printer ?

I'll summarise.
