Re: [U2] Trying to setup AIX virtual printer to generate PDF fromUniQuery
One problem might be that the ps2pdf script may not be memory dependant and may require writing a file out, so the traditional --- | script | script | printer might not work. You might need to write some form of script which takes the input and then takes the output file and runs it into the other script, then takes the output file from that one, and sends it to stdout, then you could use it as a filter script. I don't know anything about a2ps and ps2pdf, so I also could be totally off base. Also, do a search for txt2pdf, that is a script we use to convert text output to pdf files, there isn't that postscript secondary conversion.

[U2] SETPRT vs. ESC
I have been playing with SETPTR in Universe on a Windows box. If I send PCL escape sequence codes to the printer, do these override the SETPTR settings? I thought this was kinf of goofy, but I did a SETPTR 0,80,100,0,0,1 I sent an escape sequence with a font pitch of 17 and landscape orientation. I was able to print 177 characters across the page?!?!?!

Re: [U2] SETPRT vs. ESC
Hi Shawn, I'm talking from memory, not having worked on Universe in quite a while, but your SETPTR command works a lot like the TERM command, setting page width and depth for Retrieve, etc. However, if you send PCL commands in a Basic program, they will go straight through to the printer, and the printer will do as it's told, irrespective of the SETPTR settings. If things have changed since I've been on Universe, I'll be happy to be corrected.

[U2] Sockets problem

Re: [U2] Sockets problem
David, 1024 and below are considered well known ports and are reserved for things like telnet, ftp, http, etc. You need to be careful assigning private ports so you don't tramp on other assignments. netstat will show you your current assignments.

If you are in the Unix/Linux world and you need to bind to ports below 1024, you need to run/start as root, then (generally you should) drop the rights of root once you have done it. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Drew William Henderson Sent: Tuesday, 11 January 2011 2:14 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Sockets problem It's been a couple years, but i believe ports in the lower range can only be linked to root processes.
