[TRMW]
pagedepth_bug=1
Introduced in 4.624 patch release 7 on 18 Nov 2011. When printing via DFPRINT the DP4 terminal manager computes the approximate number of lines that can be printed on a page (pagedepth), and the average number of characters that can be printed on one line (pagewidth). Unfortunately these computations are wrong if the various settings such as y_factor,y_inch
or their x_
equivalents, or the corresponding dfprint_x_
or dfprint_y_
settings have been used. In the past the terminal manager has made its computation using the ordinary settings and not, as it should do, the dfprint_
settings instead. In order to have these values computed correctly DP4 users must install the appropriate patch release of DP4, and they must also add the setting pagedepth_bug=0
in the [trmw]
section of dp4.ini.
This setting has been introduced because existing systems may well rely on the old, buggy, computation.
