What were you trying to do?
generate a PS version of the ICCCM
What's wrong:
It loses silently. All you get is "*** Exit 64" from make.
If you're psychic, you'll find the error message "lpr: PostScript:
PostScript: unknown printer" in icccm.PS. This is wrong (a) because
that's not valid postscript (b) error should be printed where I can see
them (c) icccm.ps is the stdout, not stderr file. The error should be
going to stderr.
If I had the PRINTER variable set, the ICCCM would have been
printed. This is not what I want
What should have happened:
The PS version of the ICCCM should have ended up in icccm.PS
Fix:
