Tankersley) Distribution: usa Organization: Amoco Production Company, Tulsa Research Center Lines: 11 Don't have the books with me here..... Is PostScript supposed to be 7 bit ASCII or 8 bit? I've been able to download IBM's DCF SCRIPT in ASCII, but it is 8 bit. Drives the lowly Apple LW crazy trying to print. I can convert it to 7 bit, but I was wondering if it was defined in the language anywhere. -tank- #include /* nobody knows the trouble I .... */ tank@apctrc.trc.amoco.com ..!uunet!apctrc!tank
