If you are using an IBM 3800 printer, which needs fonts in the unbounded box

|

format, you can use the FONTECH parameter. The only valid value for FONTECH

|

is UNBOUNDED; any other value will cause ACIF to issue an error message and

|

terminate.

|

If you specify FONTECH=UNBOUNDED and RESTYPE=FONT or RESTYPE=ALL,

|

ACIF reads unbounded box fonts and saves them in the resource object data set.

|

However, the unbounded box fonts are not syntax checked. If there are errors in

|

the AFPDS making up the font, ACIF will not issue an error message.

|

Note: The FONTECH parameter must be used with caution. Unbounded fonts are

|

supported only by the IBM 3800 printer. They are not supported by any

|

other printer or the Viewer. Any resource object file archived will have very

|

limited use. Unbounded box fonts cannot be used by PSF for AIX or by

|

InfoPrint Manager for AIX.
