I've been trying to print some raw postscript, and I can't quite
do it right.  Anybody know what to do?

There are some PostScript files out there that will not display
on the standard previewer, but need YAP (Yet Another Previewer)
to be seen.  I assume this is from lack of a bounding box or
something like that.  When these files are printed, all that is
shown is the poscript source.

I know this is a postscript printer, and others I have met ONLY
take postscript files to print, and do not translate to ordinary
text, so I assume the ENSCRIPT routines are taking the text and
making it text.

Of course, the ideal thing to do is to take the result of some
Postscript hack or another an paste it right into a WriteNow
or Draw document, but that doesn't work, either (Draw complains
about "no bounding box").

Does anybody know how to get the results of postscript into a
WriteNow document?  Thanks in advance
