Re: Printing Internet Drafts

I have a question on how to print Internet Draft with the right pagination on
Windows machine.

there are two sub-classes of this problem:

1. internet-drafts with correct pagination won't print correctly on Windows 
   because Windows doesn't support printing ASCII documents.

   if you install DOS printing support for your printer, you might be able 
   to get such documents to print by opening a DOS window and typing

   COPY draft-xxx-yyy-NN.txt PRN

   I don't know whether this works in recent versions of Windows because 
   I don't use Windows.  

   Out of sympathy for Windows users, I set up the RFCs in PDF web page

   http://www.cs.utk.edu/~moore/RFC-PDF/

   I suppose I could do something similar for Internet-Drafts.

   Of course the best solution is to use operating systems that support
   open standards like ASCII.
   
2. internet-drafts with incorrect pagination

   many people produce internet drafts with incorrect pagination or no
   pagination.  these documents don't print correctly on *any* system.
