Now I'm afraid I don't know how to make repairs - if any are needed -
to a PS file. The file prints OK on our Digital Printserver 20, but I
don't know how you get it to print under a different O/S and on a different
type of printer. Probably you should avoid the problem by getting the WP5.1
doc (it's already in DOS format) and converting that to whatever you need.

I sure hope you have a DOS-PC with WP5.1 installed somewhere...

If you think something is missing in my doc, PLEASE let me know. I'm not 
certain which document you mean by the 'INTRODUCTION guide', but if it's
not mentioned in my  section 1.2 I'm interested.
One other thing, I never managed to get John Page's docs to print. If 
anyone out there has, and can tell me if there's anything in there worth
copying to my doc, I'd be most grateful...
