PS2REF - version 73                  README.TXT

PS2REF consists of many individual sheets to assist in marketing IBM
PC Company products.

The files are raw postscript files that need a postscript printer with 
the Zapf Dingbat font to print.  You do NOT need Pagemaker software or 
any other software to print these.  Note: some files have different 
extension names (migrating to .ps).
Latest date is at bottom right on each sheet and listed below is
latest revision date.

To save time printing, type "copy *.* prn" at a subdirectory with all 
the files located in it (such as C:\PS2REF>).
Or go to a
C:> prompt of a DOS based PC or a C:] of OS/2 and type the following
for each file name (listed below):

C:>copy ps2.ps prn       (ps2 = file name)
C:>copy ps2w.ps prn      (ps2w = file name)
C:>copy raid.ps prn      (raid = file name)

***********************************************************************
*
*      This presentation contains one page postscript files that need
*      a postscript printer to print.  Pages will not print on a 3820.
*      The postscript printer must have Zapf Dingbat font (standard
*      on older 4216 Personal Page Printers and optional on newer 4019
*      and 4029 LaserPrinters).
*
*      If you do not have a Postscript printer, use PS2REF3 package
*      which allows printing on S/370 AFP printers such as a 3820.
*
*      The 3820 is a 240 x 240 dots per inch printer whereas the
*      PC Postscript printers are 300 x 300 dots per inch.  Therefore the
*      PC Postscript printers give higher quality output.
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*  PS2REF is updated regularly, often every two weeks.
*
*  To AUTOMATICALLY receive changes to any sheet, SUBSCRIBE to the
*  package by hitting PF6 (Subscribe) while the cursor is on the PS2REF
*  line.  Also the following line can be entered from the VM command
*  line:

*
*  By subscribing, only individual pages that have been updated will
*  be sent to your profs automatically.
*
*  Or, if you want to get a profs mail note telling you when a change
*  took place (without the file coming into your reader), then INFORM
*  to the package by typing the following command:

* ---------------------------------------------------------------------
*
*      The files should be downloaded as binary files.  Then go to
*      a C:> prompt of DOS or OS/2 and type the following (examples):
*
*      C:>copy ps2.ps prn       (PS/2 Reference)
*      C:>copy ps2w.ps prn      (PS/2 Reference - withdrawn)
*      C:>copy 85.ps prn        (IBM Server 85)
*
*      Suggestion:  Create a "psprint.bat" file that has all the
*      files names listed at end of this file.
*      Then keep the .bat file and all
*      the .ps files in one subdirectory.  Issue the .bat
*      file once at a C: prompt and the latest sheets
*      will print out into a single packet !!
*
*      or (if all files in one subdirectory) just have
*      "psprint.bat" have the line "copy *.* prn" !!
*
*  Starting in July 1993, changing file extensions from BIN to
*  PSBIN to reflect raw postscript file format.
