Description of trouble First of all,yes i have maanged to bring him so far as to spit out some bytes.But on rather strange manner:i brought it up with lpc up lp,previously it was not possible for me to get it working with lpc start|enable all.As far as understood it from man pages though,the function of start|enable and up is rather identical.So the question #1: 1)Is it a bug or a feature?What is the expected way?What is the difference between up and enable. Yet to statemnet about just few bytes. I use apsfilter and programm claims that it could handle TIFF format but i got reverse staircase effect while trying to print out some man pages.So question #2 is: How can i handle reverse staircase effect in this particular case? And last part is about magicfilter:Do any example files exist with all this magic bytes on magic places? Will magicfilter work with noPS printers? What further problems can arise while installing magicfilter? As to flame part of messages of Mrs Lehey and Perelman :)) It is nothing so expecial about my messages we are all equal here as well as elsewhere,save maybe the fact that two troubles i had with fbsd so far resulted from 1)Book of Mr Lehey(see archives for july-august) 2)Rather "misleading" i quote one guy from mailing list concept of sysinstall's Upgrade. First of all i would like to say that your criticizm is accepted but maybe i would react somehow faster on errors caused not in last part by me. As to my alleged aversion to quote no i have not such kind of aversion but as already said yes i was somehow irritated by this surely well-minded very general hold suggestions started with the statement:"I do not remeber your problem." So i hope we are over with this surely not tremendously tries somehow to mend each other.
