Make sure you have the latest version of !PrintWeb.

This should be 0.16 (09-Apr-97).  An earlier version tried to open a file on
RAM disc, and locked up the computer if the RAM disc did not exist.

The latest version of !PrintWeb should be available from Stewart Brodie's
web site at
 
        http://ftp.dsse.ecs.soton.ac.uk:8080/ftp/ArcWeb/

Once !PrintWeb has split the long Drawfile into several A4 size files within
the directory A4WebPages, created when you drag the icon to disc, each of
these Drawfiles can easily be edited to delete content that you do not want,
and you only have to print the relevant page, not all those created.
