Transmission problem possibility:
I'm using Dnet-nfs, so file transfer isn't the problem (I checked, the files
are identical on both ends).

CR/LF problem possibility:
Now CR/LF may be a problem since I noticed that ProScript-produced
files use LF-terminated lines, whereas Ifftops seems to generate
CR-terminates lines. I actually get a graphic image using Ifftops, but
it is truly garbage. I think this is the problem. (I really expected
the Postscript printer to be a bit smarter I guess).

Thanks much
