Goldstein) Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 15 As long as we're all dumping on PostScript -- and I'll not contradict the will of the masses and approve of posting only PostScript -- I'll throw in another complaint. Some PostScript documents are prepared "last page first", which works on Apple LaserWriters and other printers that don't put the pages facing the right way up. The first time I printed the OSPF IGP spec, I got a heap of pages in the wrong order. I just got a new .PS RFC-draft, and at least this time I knew to tell the LPS40 /param=(data=post,output_tray=face_up). So much for a de facto "standard"! While I don't dislike .PS files so long as there's a .txt to play with too, they should indicate, in the very beginning or somewhere like that, that they're backwards. fred
