Exactly what I have experienced.
| I'm wondering what could cause the invalidaccess messages since "def"
| is legitimate PS. I piped my current LaserPrep File into tlw and got
| the following:
|
| Script started on Fri Mar 10 09:44:18 1989

| Okay

Here too, the same has occurred.
It seems the LW doesn't want to speak the PostScript lingo. We don't
have prepfix, but the conditions are identical to John's. We are using
LWNTIIX's with ProcSet V 68. We get around the problem by creating
an empty ProcSet (just the Begin and End lines) and hope someone has
initialiased the LW from a Mac. Not good if the LWs have been switched
off.
I have even tried getting into the EXECUTIVE "mode", with no success.
Any enlightenment will be appreciated. I would like to even the score
with lwsrv too. If anyone in oz has prepfix, please acknowledge.
Thankyou
