- This printer definition file (PDF) allows you to create printer configurations
- (print jobs) that will convert text to postscript on-the-fly. To use it,
- run PRINTDEF and IMPORT this file as a device called POSTTEXT. Then run
- PRINTCON and create the associated printer configurations. Currently defined
- definitions are
-
- 10 point portrait,
- 9 point landscape,
- 8 point landscape,
- 6 point portrait,
- 6 point landscape
-
- You can easily expand this system to include just about any pointsize setup
- by modifying the print definitions. Comments in the device definitions should
- help to identify what to change.
-
- This postscript code was actually developed by Glenn Reid of Adobe Systems Inc.
- and was distributed free-of-charge for others to use. To make it work within
- the Novell 256 character header limit, it was butchered to remove all spaces,
- multi-character variable names and extras such as page headers and numbers.

- *****************************
- REMEMBER TO PUT THE LINE
- PRINT HEADER=255
- IN YOUR SHELL.CFG FILE!!
- *****************************
-
- The shell.cfg file is a configuration file that is used by NET3 (or NET4) that
- will setup parameters for your netware shell. By default, the maximum header
- size is 64 bytes which is by no means large enough to accomidate this system.
- SHELL.CFG is a text file which should be located on the same drive and
- directory as your net#.com file.
-
- The original file is included in this .ZIP (PSHEAD.PS) so you may also make use
- of it and perhaps help you create more print definitions.
-
- This .PDF file and all other files are distributed free-of-charge with no
- warranty nor guarantee that it will work and that it will not cause a
- catastrophic melt-down of your computer equipment that tips-off a massive
- explosion causing a terrific <BANG> that deafens ears miles around...but that's
- another story <grin>.
-
- I hope this helps all those supervisors out there get their systems running
- as efficient and full-featured as possible.
-
- A lot of work went into this system yet I am still giving it away for free.
- Remember the good-'ol days when people used to give code away just to help
- advance computer literacy and to avoid industrial duplications???
