Hi,
I have TOPS running on an appletalk network with 2 mac plusses, 2 PCs
and a laserwriter plus.  I am trying to print WORD documents from
the PC to the laserwriter. I told WORD to save the document as a
postscript file, then sent the POSTSCRP.INI file and the saved file
and got the proper printout.  BUT I also got the ominous message
"exitserver: permanent state may be changed".  What's happening?
If the init file is just storing a dictionary in RAM that shouldn't
be permanent.  I havn't found anything in the Postscript Language
Reference Manual on this. Where should I look?  What is the
command to clear memory to make room for the Mac dictionary?
	thanks
