   "It is true that no currently available Xerox printer product supports
   this feature of the Interpress language.  But this is a discussion about
   the Interpress language, not about particular implementations."

For some reason this sentence reminds me of the apocryphal discussion
between a gas station owner and a would-be customer:

Customer: "I see that your gasoline is $1.00 a gallon."
Owner:    "Yup."
Customer: "Fred's gas, down the street, sells gas for 80 cents a gallon."
Owner:	  "Well, why don't you go buy gas from Fred?"
Customer: "Fred is sold out."
Owner:	  "Ah. Well, we sell for 75 cents a gallon when we're sold out."
