Has anybody had the following problem with UltraScript? [Is QMS
listening out there?] Does anybody use it USPC?
I picked-up a copy of UltraScript PC last month, but immediately had
problems with it going into an infinite loop and/or rebooting the CPU
after printing.
First: The hardware
New Packard Bell 80286 12MH DOS 3.3
60 MB Disk 2.4 MB RAM
New HP IIP w/512K (more memory on the way)
The first time I tried USPC, using the interactive
configurer/interpreter, the sample PostScript file did print, but the
machine rebooted (all this being done at 150DPI because of the low
HPIIP memory). Two more attempts to print using the non-interactive
(but it still goes "full-screen") PS interpreter were successful, but
each time the interpreter goes into an "endless loop" condition (where
the "work-in-progress" icon just wizzes across the screen). The only
way to get out is to reboot the CPU.
While what little I accomplished/printed looked promising, the idea
of having to reset the machine everytime doesn't. While this info
is pretty skimpy (8-(), anyone have any ideas?
