Allan has brought to my attention a problem with printing the
PostScript job, on _SOME_ printers. Depending on the base system
and the I/O connection used to actually transmit the print job to
your PostScript printer, it may or may not print.
The bug is an ASCII End_of_File marker (also called Control-D) that
precedes and follows the print job. This is output automatically
by my PC-based package (Pagemaker); however, this probably blows up
any Macs that try to print it. It also plays havok with some I/O
methods.
I have already stripped the Control-Ds and have a new version ready
to go. I will upload a new HWCOVER1.ZIP to csgrad.cs.vt.edu within
the next hour.
