D.19 DCPS and PATHWORKS Libraries
PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Macintosh) creates its own device control library,
MSAP$DEVCTL.TLB, and also puts its modules into the CPS library if there
is one. It does not put them in the DCPS library. To rectify this, define
DCPS_LIB as a search list that points to both the DCPS and PATHWORKS
libraries. An example in DCPS$STARTUP.TEMPLATE shows how to do this.
D.20 Printing with Macintosh & PC Files
The DCPS software contains a new PostScript example file to improve printing
of Macintosh and PC files on DIGITAL PrintServer printers.
D.21 Improved Color Function for Colormate PS
The color transfer function of the Colormate PS has been changed to avoid the
problems of gray scale images that are muddy or brown, and natural images
with poor flesh tones. The Colormate PS now runs prints with a new default
color transfer function to provide better gray scale images and natural flesh
tones. Consequently, you may notice the following changes when you print on
the Colormate PS:
• Graphic images may not seem as brilliant.
• Grays will be accurately rendered as gray and not brown.
• Some pictures may appear to have less yellow and/or more blue in them.
D.22 Printing Security Messages
The DCPS product provides a new example file:
SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DCPS]CONFIDENTIAL.PS
This file shows how to redefine the showpage operator to write ‘‘Confidential’’
at the top and bottom of each page as an overlay (that is, after the contents of
the page have been imaged).
