a) APAR#:      PJ10518                DEFECT#:     74083                DESCRIPTION: Printing to an IBM 4039 in Duplex causes                             "Stackundeflow"                RESOLUTION:  The buffer to handle duplex was increased.

b) APAR#:      PJ11163                DEFECT#:     75994                DESCRIPTION: Unable to print polygons with over 200 points                             (reported using a Freelance Line chart) due                             to driver upper limit.                RESOLUTION:  If strokepath fails the driver will attempt                             a stroke.

RESOLUTION:  Driver tries to display error message but                             application does not have a message queue                             so driver will create one for it.

RESOLUTION:  If the form in 'Printer Properties' and                             'Job Properties' do not match, "Forms                             Mismatch" is displayed. The driver now                             provides better form checking.
