After much wasted upload time and senseless agravation, we discovered that
the Windows (2.1 in our case) postscript driver puts a CTRL-D at the top
and bottom of all files printed "to file".  By editing out these two
characters, the files printed successfully.  The environment is a PS/2
printing postscript to a file:  uploading to a SUN fileserver: printing
to a network Apple Laserwriter. (als true using other fileservers - 
encore multimax e.g.)  

---flame on
If Microsoft could get rid of the (&)^( CTRL-D's, the world would be a 
much safer place.
---flame off

I was hoping that this would be fixed in Win3 (mine is "in the mail"), but
it seems as not.... ah, the joys of vi.
