	       Answers to Frequently Asked Questions 
		about the Postscript Version of HXWZ


1. Where can I get the PostScript version of HXWZ?
--------------------------------------------------
	1)ftp IFCSS.ORG  (or ftp 129.107.1.155)
	2)login:anonymous
	3)Password: your_name
	4)ftp>cd cnd/HXWZ
	5)ftp>binary
	6)get HXWZ**.1.tar.Z
	   For example: ftp>get HXWZ30.1.tar.Z

        NOTE: 	for VMS users: get HXWZ**.tar.Z HXWZ**.tar_Z
		Here ** is the issue number. We pack each issue into three
		files: HXWZ**.1.tar.Z, HXWZ**.2.tar.Z, HXWZ**.3.tar.Z.
		If you do not have large disk space (2MB), please get one
		file at a time.  After printing out each file, delete it
		and then get another one.

2. How can I print out the PostScript version of HXWZ?
-----------------------------------------------------
	On UNIX system:
	1)uncompress HXWZ**.1.tar.Z
	2)tar xvf HXWZ**.1.tar

	NOTE:	Now you will have several new files, e.g. PSpage01, PSpage02..

	3)lpr [-Pname] PSpage01
	  lpr [-Pname] PSpage02
	  .....................

        On VMS system:(see 6. also)
        print/que=postscript_que_name PSpage**

	Repeat the above procedure for the HXWZ**.2.tar.Z and HXWZ**.3.tar.Z.

	Please do not print HXWZ during working hours on multi-user printers.
	Printing each issue takes about 30 minutes. We appreciate your being
	considerate to other users' printing need.

3. How can I preview the PostScript version on the terminal?
------------------------------------------------------------
	Readers on SUN workstations with OpenWindows installed
	can display the PSpage** files on the terminal by
	%pageview PSpage01
	...........

	IBM-PC readers can use GhostScript program to preview PostScript
	files.  You may ask one of the following people for help if necessary.

	Wei Sun        william@anucsd.anu.edu.oz.au
	Jian Luo       jian@hdetud11.bitnet, jluo@et.tudelft.nl

4. Are previous HXWZ PostScript files archived?
-----------------------------------------------
	No. Due to limited diskspace, each issue is kept on ifcss.org 
	for one week, updated on Friday.
	You may retrieve previous HXWZ GB files and convert them to
	PS files by yourself, using either gb2ps or hz2ps (both are
	available on ifcss.org, in directory software/unix/print).

5. How can I print GB files with HPLaserJet?
--------------------------------------------
	You can use cpl-12 to do it.  The program is available on IFCSS.ORG
	in directory software/dos/print.

6. I use VAX/VMS; how do I do "uncompress" and "tar"?
-----------------------------------------------------
	VMS version "uncompress" and "tar" files are available on IFCSS.ORG,
	in directory software/vms. Please get these files first and then get
	HXWZ**.*.tar.Z.
	After you get "compress.exe", and "vmstar.exe", add the following
	lines in the file LOGIN.COM in your home directory:

        $compress :=="$your_disk:[you_home.you_sub]compress.exe compress"
        $uncompress :=="$your_disk:[you_home.you_sub]compress.exe uncompress"
        $tar:=="$your_disk:[you_home.you_sub]vmstar.exe"

        Then type:
                @login
        Now you can do:
                uncompress HXWZ30.1.tar_Z
                tar xvf HXWZ30.1.tar

	[Note: You can learn the disk you are on and the name of your home 
	directory by typing the following:
		$set default sys$login
		$show default
	where the $ sign at the beginning of the line is the prompt.]
		

7. What do I need to do to save disk space?
-------------------------------------------
	a) If you do not have enough disk space, please don't "uncompress"
	three HXWZ**.*.tar.Z at the same time. Uncompress one first, print
	it out, delete it and then uncompress the next file.
	b) You can use your tmp area to uncompress the HXWZ**.*.tar.Z files.
	Copy your files to /tmp, and "cd /tmp", then you can do "uncompress"
	and "tar", "lpr".  On VMS system, you may wish to use the scratch
	disk (try HELP SCRATCH).
