  Thanks for th info.  I decided to -r (no page reversal) route.  What I did
was to modify (my already modified) lwsrv program to issue the lpr command
with the -c option (which is for cifplot files), then modified the psif script
to treat pscf (which -c calls) as a valid filter name, having it do an
"exec comm2 ;;", comm2 being the same as the variable comm, expect for having
the -r option it.  This way, only Mac files disable page reversal.
  My question is whether the -Tmakenondscconformant flag would do EXACTLY the
same thing.  Does the fact that I am still running in 'conformant' mode buy
me anything extra?
