We have made a change in the way that we send out PostScript files. The current distribution of Internet Resource Guide entries brought complaints by a few users who had trouble printing the PostScript (.ps) entries. We quickly changed our format to include a "cut-here" line for section2-2.ps, and promptly got another complaint that we broke an automatic program for printing the PostScript entries. The line is: --------Cut-Here----The-first-line-of-your-file-must-be-%!PS-Adobe-1.0-------- When you receive a PostScript entry, you must remove this line and everthing that precedes it in the file. Otherwise, your printer will print the PostScript file as a series of PostScript commands rather than formatted printing. The first line of the PostScript file must be: %!PS-Adobe-1.0 2) Update news. o We are pleased to report that since we began our update campaign, in June 1992, we have received updates for 75 of the 113 entries in the Resource Guide, most of them recent. Twenty-seven updates have been distributed to the resource-guide mailing lists, and the other 48 are in the pipeline. o We have also received four new entries, as well as many suggestions for entries and requests for templates. To order a template, send a message to info-server@nnsc.nsf.net, and place the following text in the body of the message: request: resource-guide topic: template request: end o We have shortened Subject field of our "announcement" messages by substituting "AN-92:3" in place of "ANNOUNCEMENT 92-3". Please send questions and suggestions to resource-guide@nnsc.nsf.net., and changes in mailing lists to resource-guide-request@nnsc.nsf.net. ---The NNSC Staff ******************************************************************************* NSF Network Service Center (NNSC) Hotline: 617/873-3400 10 Moulton Street Email: nnsc@nnsc.nsf.net Cambridge, MA 02138 Info-Server requests to: info-server@nnsc.nsf.net *******************************************************************************
