1) bug 1:   the "'s" after the printers name printed on the first page
	    is in the wrong point size.  (I may know enough about
	    postscript to fix this my self :-)  )

2) bug 2:   When run on my printer (Jasmine Direct print (which is
            actually a Qume CrystalPrint, with new labels stuck on.)
	    Memory is 3 MB, CPU is Weitek 8200, engine is ??? LCD
	    shutter, PS interpreter is a clone with version number
	    3.02) with systemdict as the starting level, it prints 10
	    pages beautifully, and then dies with a VMERROR. Except for
	    the first dozen or so lines in the first column on page 1,
	    the rest is all font info (about 4 columns of info per
	    font, so it dies during the 7th font). What is all this
	    gunk it is printing out about each font? how do I get
	    around the VMerror (The available VM memory does meet the
	    required minimum as specified in the red book, where it
	    details the minimum requirements for VM is 240000 bytes).
	    How do I findout how to use commands that are listed in
	    the various dictionaries, but not in any of the Adobe
	    books?
