Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if NeXT intends to support the
Apple LaserWriter extensions to Postscript ? I realize that these aren't
in the ``Red Book'' and therefore not part of the official Postscript
language but it would be *really* nice if the Cube would understand these
exensions since much of the PS documentation out there uses them and the
poor Cube just barfs when it gets to them.

I don't know enough about PS to determine what to do when the extensions
are encountered. Has anybody our there got a filter to remove them so the
Cube can go ahead and print the file ?

Thanks.
