The error messages were implemented exactly the way we were told to
do... here is an excerpt from a message from Gary Bean:

There are n UNITs left in your REALM quota.
If QUOTA_REMAINING/PAGES_IN_LAST_JOB <2 and >=1, send
There are n UNITs left in your REALM_NAME quota.
Your last print job was PAGES_IN_LAST_JOB UNITs.
You can only print one more print job of
that size without going over your quota.

We didnt question the error message but just implemented it exactly the
way it was wanted. Now the problem is that the field PAGES_IN_LAST_JOB
should really be the total cost of last jobs (i.e. PAGES_IN_LAST_JOB *
COST_PER_PAGE_OF_LAST_JOB). The sources have been modified to reflect
this.
