On an LA75 printer, when the spacing goes beyond a R certain limit, the printer automatically switches to smaller or bigger characters.  H DCPS should really switch to a smaller font size. It should set the font9 size according to the cps setting for the CSI w command.    E The problem is that the in-line code generated by the ANSI translator C uses postscript subroutines used in many places,  so having a setup H module redefine it wouldn't work because it would wreck the other places where this routine is used.   G I think that having your own postscript program that reads the file and G outputs it to paper might be the easiest solution. You could have it as G a form that calls a postscript setup module that causes this to happen.   G Note that while dot matrix printers can print on the whole width of the G paper, laser printers can't. So count on a width of 8 inches instead of J 8.5 inches.  That yields a 4.36 postscript point width for each character.  F Personally, I think that the DCPS engineers should change this featureG so that it better emulates the dotmatrix printers and changes font size F instead of changing character spacing.  But I suspect some users might not want that.   ------------------------------   Date: 4 Nov 2005 03:25:33 -0800  From: carfer@gmail.com" Subject: Re: DCPS and 132 listingsC Message-ID: <1131103533.844589.223610@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>    Thanks for your assistance.   F So there is no module, nor setup with ANSI escape sequences that solve that.   F I agree with you it would be desirable to have at least the option forG selecting font substitution instead of scaling the space of characters.   F DCPS, as we all know, allow many printing options lasers can do, but IG thought the minimum needed was to be compatible with their old printers D in the very same exact way.

This uses some of the same setup as A Advanced Server/Pathworks, basically to say where the PDC is, but * it doesn't require any Pathworks licenses.  C     It is also possible to configure a VMS system as a PDC (Primary B Domain Controller) for Windows PC's.  I just don't know whether it2 can also manage the user authentication problem...   	-Ken  --  6 I don't speak for Intel, Intel doesn't speak for me...  
