Has someone here managed to extract PostScript hardcopy of the CAPI from this Web page? I tried earlier this evening and wound up with a miniature ecological disaster on my hands. The page says: "For ease of online reading and printing, we've provided copies of this lengthy document in Microsoft Word and Postscript formats." I grabbed the ZIPped PostScript version and unZIPped it, which resulted in a single file called "capiapp.ps". Making the wild assumption that this was indeed a PostScript file, I sent it to the printer and forgot about it for a while. An hour later I discovered a chaotic scene in the printer room, as the printer had spewed about 1.5 reams of raw PostScript printouts. The output bin had overflowed for a while, spraying paper in several directions. <heavy sigh> As it turns out, the file unhelpfully begins with %-12345X@JPL ENTER LANGUAGE=POSTSCRIPT preceding the usual "%!PS-Adobe-3.0" line. Worse still, it appears that the capiapp.ps file is actually a catenation of many PostScript files (one per chapter?), each beginning with a version of this ensnarling line. I could do some global search-and-replacing, etc., but I think I'll wait for Microsoft to distribute a decent PS version of this document. Perhaps they should consider not generating it with MS Word.... Grr!
