Hi ppl!

I want to inform you that everything works fine over here with printing
apple postscript files. After my query on the net a few weeks ago, I found
out that in europe we don't need the frametoroket command. This command
has probably something to do with the scaling of output printed as american
sized on A4-paper (called a4small (what is that, anyway??)). After some
fiddling with replacing frametoroket with copypage and showpage, some things 
worked ok but most didn't.
Then a friend of mine (thanks Ernst!) tried to remove that piece of postscript
in the LaserPrep, and after that everything worked fine!
A lot of people have used it by now, and I haven't found a file (yet) which 
didn't print on our QMS printers (800+ and 810) on Ultrix and VMS.
The piece of code we removed is the following:

1) find 'frametoroket'
2) go up in the file, till u see something like: 'LW 1 eq userdict...'
3) remove that line and the following lines TILL 'md begin/bigs[lnop ...' (so:
   do not remove this line!)

After that everything should work allright.

Good luck!

Annard.
