Some of the PostScript files in the 'doc' tarfile seem to be
in a bizarre format. My Apple PostScript printer chokes on them.
Specifically, all the files in doc/gssapi are bad.
Is there any way to either get more portable PostScript for these
files, or have them made available in ASCII?
I'll bet these .PS files were done by DEC, weren't they? They had
the same problem with their PostScript docs for SPX.
Funny that. Those .PS files worked fine on our DEC printers. :-)
You're right of course, those .PS files were done by DEC using some sort
of wierd proprietary word processing system. I don't understand DEC's
reasons for not wanting to use something portable, like TeX or nroff,
especially for a document describing what they hope will become a
standard. Sigh.... I will send mail to them and if they can produce
"friendlier" Postscript, or perhaps a LPT-formatted version which
anybody can read.
