Yea, the first time I was told about /usr/NeWS/lib/NeWS/sgilogo.ps I felt
real stupid.  But it sometimes does not draw the logo correctly using psh,
it needs a little reprogramming for PostScript implementations that do not
support "dictbegin" such as the QMS and probably the LaserWriter, and it 
does not seem to draw small logos very well.  It is there though.

How about something non-bitmap for the text portion of the logo that will
run on a LaserWriter?

Thanks
