Flushed with the successful replies to my recent query about PostScript "tile" output filters, I now turn to Appsoft Draw. I'm trying to set up a simple newsletter (I know, Draw is perhaps not the best pick, but it's all I've got; the alternative is *roff or TeX). I've got a one page document that I've been using to play around with basic layout and font ideas, and I've printed it several times before on my system (8MB RAM, lotsa disk, NS 2.1, DeskJet 500 with DeskJet 2.03 driver). Today, the document refuses to print from within Draw every time I've tried it, to the point of nuking the Window Server and blowing me off the system. I tried saving the PS to a file instead, which worked, and printed it via lpr, which also worked fine, so I know the document itself is not inherently deadly. Since I've had Draw blow me away a few times since starting this little project, I naturally suspect Draw. Any common wisdom about this sort of problem, or do I need to contact Appsoft directly, wait for an upgrade, or surrender all hope? :~) Thanks in advance. -- Royce Howland -- Everything is IMHO | "I can eat enormous quantities royce@splunge.uucp (NeXTMail OK) | of ice-cream without being sick, or royce%splunge@atlantis.uucp | Mrs. S-C-U-M." --Mr. Neutron or alberta!atlantis!splunge!royce or ... | C86Net: Mr._Neutron@RT.Alta
