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

Before I had time, however, Peter Seymour (hope I got the spelling right) from AppSoft phoned me at my home in order to find out how AppSoft could help. I was quite pleasantly surprised. Looks like I'll be getting an update that may correct the problem, and will also send them my document so they can pick apart its guts. :~) As I bought my copy of Draw on the half-price offer put out by MediaLogic for TopDraw, before it became AppSoft Draw, and as I hadn't bought the Draw support package, I was pleased to receive this level of support from AppSoft. (In fact, Peter mentioned that they have changed their support policy, so it is now not a charged-for item, nor are non-major upgrades.) Thanks, guys. -- 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
