I used MS-Kermit to send the file from my XT-clone to our VAX (Ultrix) in text mode, hoping to print the file out on our Apple LaserWriter. However, on first try, the LaserWriter complained the file was a binary file! Upon close inspection, I found THREE control-D's in the file: the first byte (before the %!), the last byte and one about 50 lines or so from the top. I removed them, but then the LaserWriter spin its wheels for a while and gave no output! Is there something else I should have done (maybe a missing "header" file)? I have read in this newsgroup that they have connected a PS device onto their computer and have no problems, so I assume the output file from the program would do the same. I would appreciate any comments and/or info on this matter. Much thanks in advance! ...
