Folks,
I'm tired of getting e-mails that tell me my "stupid
program doesn't work in PostScript". My programs don't
work in PostScript because of stupid PostScript defaults!
Anyway, I just updated all my "device independent"
programs to set the damn PostScript device properly
so things just work. I don't normally recommend (or
write!) programs that do things behind your back,
but in this case it seems justified.
Here is what I am doing:
IF !D.Name EQ 'PS' THEN Device, COLOR=1, BITS_PER_PIXEL=8
Can anyone think of a reason why this would NOT be a good idea?
Cheers,
David
