			PDF File Update


To enhance text printing to PostScript devices for DOS users of NetWare, we
offer two new PDF files:

                          APLASER2.PDF
                          PSTSCRPT.PDF

APLASER2.PDF is a replacement for APPLASER.PDF, and is for printing to the
Apple LaserWriter family.  PSTSCRPT.PDF is for printing to all other
PostScript printers, including LaserWriter compatibles.

The files offer new printing modes for devices Apple LaserWriter and
PostScript printer, respectively.  They are installed using Printdef;
delete the existing LaserWriter device, if present, then import the two new
PDF files.

For printing of text files, they offer "PostText" printing modes; these do
not depend on Diablo 630 emulation, which is not available on all
PostScript printers, and has the tendency to place some or all of the top
and bottom lines on a page off the printable area of the page.  These files
use  true PostScript to print text on a page.  Due to length limitations in
the print header, not all modes recognize form feeds (^L).  The two that do
are:

                PostText Courier with Form Feeds
                 PostText Helvetica (with FF's)

These modes recognize form feeds, if they are at the beginning of a line,
and skip to the next page.  Other modes will treat a form feed as a space
character.  Diablo 630 modes are still offered with device LaserWriter, and
these support form feeds fully.

You will notice that PostScript printer and Apple LaserWriter offer many of
the same modes.  The differences between the two devices are that
PostScript printer does not offer any Diablo 630 modes, and that it's
Post-Text modes leave a wider margin, thus not depending on the printer
having the same printable page area as the LaserWriter.

These new PDF files are compatible with all Netware printing, including
PSERVER and NetWare for Macintosh Print Services(NLM's and VAP's).
