2 questions answered (hopefully):

1)  Post1.1 is on xanth.cs.odu.edu, in the incoming/amiga 
    directory.

2)  People with 2091 or 590 disk drives will need to (for the
    time being) manually clear location 0.  A "bug" in the
    post.library causes it to crash when $0 != 0.  The 2091/
    590 puts a nonzero value there.

    I won't waste the bandwidth of posting the code to clear
    0, but with Navas's nostartup code idea, it compiles
    down to ~300 bytes.

Post1.1 is a really great program once the initial hurdles are
passed.  Honestly, it sets the Amiga apart--no other machine I
know of has a _good_ PD PostScript interpreter.
