Hello managers,
obviously i did something wrong, but i don't know what...
My origianl question comes again at the end.
Casper Dik <casper@holland.sun.com> asked me whether i've checked
with "diff". Of course i did and did not see anything...
But to have a clear starting point i again cleaned off my psf-installation
and started over from scratch... and now it is working...
and -honest!- i don't know why, but -see above- obviously i did something
wrong..
Thank you all again,
Bernt Christandl email: bernt.christandl@munich-airport.de

Here is my original question:
>Hello managers,
>
>psf is a print filter utility, to print ascii on ps-printers.
>I like it, because it's the only utility i know of, where i print
>X lines of length Y on one page, with X and Y being any numbers i like.
>(e.g. 85 lines of length 121 characters.)
>
>I have psf-3.6 (from 1992!) and can't find it any more on the net.
>First question: Does any of you know, where this utility is hosted today?
>
>Recently i changed fron Digital to Sun Environment (new job) and tried
>to install psf here. I could install it without problems under
>SunOS 4.1.4 and use it as i'm used to.
>
>But whatever i tried to install it under Solaris 2.6, i failed.
>It compiles without errors (sun-cc and gcc-2.7.2), the executables
>are built fine and i could run them without errors. The result looks to
>my eyes as a correct ps-file (i don't know much about postscript
>aside from the starting magic "%!" and the "showpage" or "Cntl_D" i need
>to "see" something).
>
>But when i try to print this file or to display it with ghostscript
>(via xv or ghostview) the result is only a blank white page (or many of them).
>And the "showpage" IS, where it should be!
>
>So, what do i miss? Any ideas, hints?
