For those of you who were as mystified as I was by the reference to
"xps" being posted to comp.sources.unix here is the answer.

Volume 12 of comp.sources.unix contains a program (in 18 parts) by
Crispin Goswell. A supplementary posting was forwarded by Goswell to
the moderator of comp.sources.unix who posted it in

     comp.sources.bugs (!?)

under the title

     X11 Driver for Postscript interpreter.

The program in this posting was called "xps".

Thanks to Joe Weening and Rich Salz who helped resolve this.

For anyone who wishes to obtain all this you can get it by anonymous
FTP from ccb.ucsf.edu [128.218.1.13].

The original posting is in the subdirectory:

     ~ftp/Sources/Volume12/postscript

and the patches and additions are in the subdirectory:

I hear nothing in life is certain but death and taxes --  and  they're
working on death.
