Index of Documents from Adobe PostScript Archive File Server (updated Nov 15 12:42 Documents/.index) ----------------------------------------------------------------- I know this is LONG, Please read the entire file. It will save you from making some mistakes. This is an index of Documents currently available from the PostScript File Server. Most of these documents are in PostScript language form (that is, they are actual source code which you can send to your PostScript printer), and should run correctly on any PostScript printer. These files are requested with a command of the form: send Documents long.help The numbered files are based on our part numbering scheme for these documents, and are otherwise equivalent to the named documents. If you happen to know the part number of one of our documents, you can ask for it directly without using the Index to get the file name. [But note that the numbered files only point to the original, sometimes large, uncompressed versions of the specified document. If you want to receive split or compressed versions of the file, you will need to request them by name. See next paragraph for more information.] The part numbers ranging from 5000 are "Official File Format Specifications", and those ranging from 5040 are "Technical Notes". REALLY IMPORTANT: Some of these document files are larger than 100k. Most UUCP mail transport systems will bounce this mail back to the server as being too large. PLEASE, if you need a copy of struct.ps or PPDformat.ps or one of the large files, either ask for the .ps.Zba version (which has been run through "compress" and "btoa" to make it smaller) or send SEPARATE REQUESTS, one for each of the pieces of the file you need (for example, struct.ps.A and struct.ps.B). If you just ask it to send struct.ps, it will probably just waste time, because it cannot be delivered. Similarly, DON'T request struct.ps.A and struct.ps.B in the SAME message. The server will try to cram the reply into one message, too, and then you're back to the same file size limitation problem. [The server is not smart enough to break many requests from one message into several reply messages. Sorry.] ***YOU need to be aware of the amount of data you are asking for, and break those requests across multiple mail messsages, if needed. That is why you will see many similar files for the same document-- because it is a big one. Don't retrieve them ALL, just those that are packaged the way that you want. See the FILE EXTENSIONS paragraph below. Thanks. PRINTING: Some of you are running old versions of TranScript (Unix spooling product) and have old LaserWriters. If you have PAGE REVERSAL turned on in older versions of TranScript (prior to version 2.0, I think), you will have problems with these documents. The symptom of this problem is the following error message (or no printout whatsoever): %%[Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: BEGINPAGE]%% If you see this error OR if nothing prints and your pages normally come out of the printer with the last page first, then ADD ONE LINE to the beginning of the PostScript file before you print it. This line should contain just the two %! characters, and a carriage return. The first two lines of the file would then look like this: %! %!PS-Adobe-2.1 You should probably also update your software. You can call Adobe at 415-961-4400 to find out about upgrades to TranScript. NOTE: Many of these documents did not preview on NeXT machines. This was because the PostScript language file was not page-independent. Those files were recently fixed, and should now preview/print from NeXT machines. [If you're interested in the script that fixed the problem, look in the Programs index.] March 22, 1990 FILE EXTENSIONS: The following is a list of various file extensions used on this server, and an explanation of what they mean. You will see that some documents on this server are packaged in a number of different ways. This is due to the size or format of the various files. For example, large documents may be available as HUGE PostScript language files, as compressed files, and also as several PostScript language files that when concatenated make up the original HUGE file. This is to accommodate mailers that cannot handle large chunks of data. When retrieving a document, look for a packaging that is suitable for your needs and your system. There is no sense in retreiving the same document in all of the different forms since when you print it you will always get the same thing. .ps This is the PostScript language file for document . This file can be sent directly to the printer. .ps.& Where '&' is a series of capital letters (A, B, C, etc.). This is the original .ps file broken down into mulitple pieces. When concatenated, all of the .ps.& files will produce the original .ps file that can be sent directly to a printer. Use a SEPARATE request for each piece of the file. .ps.Zba This is the original .ps file that was run through the UNIX(TM) utilities "compress" and "btoa". Don't retrieve these files unless you have "atob" and "compress". ["atob" source is on the server in the Programs category.] ps.Zba.& Where '&' is a series of capital letters (A, B, C, etc.). This is the original .ps.Zba file broken down into multiple pieces. When concatenated, all of the .ps.Zba.& files will produce the original .ps.Zba file that can be run through "atob" and "compress" to get the original PostScript file. Use a SEPARATE request for each piece of the file. ["atob" source is on the server in the Programs category.] .ps.Zuu This is the original .ps file that was run through the UNIX(TM) utilities "compress" and "uuencode". Don't retrieve these files unless you have "uudecode" and "compress". [uuencoded files will start to disappear now that the "atob" source is available on the file server.] .txt This is just an ASCII file. .info This is just an ASCII file. ***DO NOT use asterisks (i.e. wild cards) when requesting files.

The conventions are to be used both by document composition systems that want to specify color in a separable way and by separation programs that want to do color separations. It is by no means a complete guide to color separation, but only a proposal for a specification of the necessary conventions.
