I'm not sure which version of 'still.ps' you have, but the
early ones didn't work correctly on the NeXT machine.  I have
fixed it (for the most part) and I will mail you the newer
version.  I've also written a very simple NeXTStep application
that sits on top of 'still.ps' and lets you choose the files
to be distilled, etc.

Let me know if you have problems.

Glenn
