In "postsc.dev" (both in /mit/scribe6/database.rt/ and
/usr/athena/lib/scribe/database.1600/ [why the duplication?]):
@Declare(GenericDevice="ScaleableLaser",
DeviceTitle="PostScript Page Description Language",
FinalName="#.ps")
The FinalName parameter is lowercase "ps". This taken alone is not a
major problem, but it is inconsistent with all other versions (which
use a capital PS). This is correct on the vax.
In "scribe.sit":
@marker[Site,Scribe,5(1501)-5]
...
UserFileTemplate "%/#.@",
@marker[Site,Scribe,6(1600)]
...
UserFileTemplate "%#.@",
I believe the v.5 template is superior, since "%#.@" requires that the
database directory have a trailing "/" when specified in @Use(Database).
I think this is identical on both machines.
