   Post 1.1 should work with just about ANY ps file which works with a real
laserwriter (assuming you have the fonts).  Post works MUCH better with lots
of memory though (3+ Megs), often problems are related to running out of
memory. 
   If anyone has a postscript file which will not work with post 1.0 or
post 1.1, please mail me the PS file, with some text telling me about
your machine (memory,...), and the version of Post, and the problem you
are having.  If I am able to reproduce the problem then I will make sure
that Adrian Aylward (the author of Post) gets a report of the specific
problem (so he can fix it :).  I will get back to you on the status of
the problem, and what Adrian has to say about it.
   If I cannot reproduce the problem then its not a problem ;), no actually
I will get back to you and see if we can narrow down what the differences
between our environments is. 

   so please, send me you bug reports.
