I did it already. I can sucessfully print any Macintosh-created PS files 
generated by Apple-F from unix.  Therefore, after using 'prepfix' and 'macps'
the NONSTANDARD PostScript files should be standard PS files which can be sent
to any PostScript printer.

I am just curious why I fail to preview these standard PS files on NeXT.
