12 | and sends the output over the network to the machine at the Computer Center | |
13 | with the phototypesetter (currently the ``A'' machine.) | |
14 | It will prompt you for an account name and password on the A machine unless | |
15 | you have provided these in your | |
16 | .I \&.netrc | |
17 | file. | |

24 | jobs are limited to 15 feet of typesetter output. | |
25 | It is also a good idea to limit the size of the individual files sent, | |
26 | as the network uses a shortest-job-first scheduling algorithm. | |
27 | Jobs of 25000 characters or less are preferable; in no case will the | |
28 | network accept jobs longer than 100000 characters. | |

32 | There is no way to specify special font mounts on the A machine. |
