Really SLICK. Then tried some files which came from ucb, bind package, made with DITroff, I believe. I got source lines out, just like source lines in. Does this tell me that there are many KINDS of Postscript (tm) and I am NOT going to use but a few unless I buy whole different adaptation packages to convert the outputs so they will print on any single printer. I have also had poor luck at getting call backs from Adobe folks. Any experiences will be greatly appreciated ( in terms of interoperability ). -- The_Main_User (So Calif SunLUG | Vta-SB-SLO-DECUS) efb@elroy.JPL.Nasa.Gov sun!tsunami!suned1!efb efbatey@nswses.arpa Statements, Opinions ...
