3005: /usr/lpp/info/PShead oops

[Pat Wilson]

I noticed a (potentially _very_ annoying) "typo" 
in a file pulled from the 3005 distribution tape (I got the tape
direct from the Defect line - my autoship hasn't shown up yet).  The
first line of the file /usr/lpp/info/data/PShead (should be the header
sent to a PostScript file) is "%" rather than "%!".  The "%!" in the first
line of a file tells PostScript to process the following data rather
than to assume it's text - without the "%!", the file is treated as
plaintext.

I called Defect Support, and they agreed that this _was_ a bug, which
should be fixed in 3006 (APAR IX15857).  You, of course, can fix PShead
yourself - just edit the file.  IBM thought that the incorrect PShead
was only a problem with _remote_ printers, and that locally attached 
printers would be fine, but...
