	* HEY, HEY! AND WHAT ABOUT VMS SUPPORT?

Dear people of the VMS community,

   I know, I know; The Guide's so unixoid that it's almost impossible to build
under VMS; and of course we don't want to get into the "Get youself a
real operapting system!" flame wars of the 80s.

	* OK, OK, SO WHAT TO DO?

   If you've received of copy of The Guide in the standard A4 paper format,
i.e. the file "eegtti-2.3.ps" and want to print this guy on an all-American
laser printer (some of the newer ones know about the rest of the world's
paper sizes, though), you can easily do this by prepending the file "a4-fix.ps"
(see below) to "eegtti-2.3.ps". Just use a text editor, and there you go.
If you want to retain pagination control (e.g. using GhostView), you have
to INSERT the fix after the "%%EndComments" line.

It then will print on a US letter size printer, although it might look a
bit "distorted", but folks, that's the only possibility for now. If you're
a passionate VMS hacker and want to help, just write some ".com" files
that build The Guide on VMS. (Of course you could use DMAKE, which also exists
in a VMS version, and simply use the Makefile included, but...
Building this guide must be "almost foolproof" and possible with virtually
no systems programming knowledge.)

Any kind VMS soul out there?

	* A4 POSTSCRIPT ON US LETTER SIZE PRINTER?

%!
%  a4fix.ps
% Here is a quick hack to print a4 formatted pages.
% Just add this as a prefix to your document.
% (To retain pagination control, it should come AFTER the
% %%EndComments line.)
% Beware that it distorts the page vertically to make it fit.
% Also, it might be necessary to adjust the translate amount
% for some documents.
