Can anyone tell me what the difference is between
PostScript version 38.0 (2)   and
PostScript version 42.2 (3).

The first LaserWriters had version 23.0.  When they were upgraded to 
LaserWriter Plus, they got new ROMs with version 38.0 (2).  These included 
all the additional fonts.

I have a faint recollection of reading a column in MacWorld or MacUser 
some time ago that recommended upgrading the LaserWriter Plus to the newer version of PostScript, but withough giving many specifics.  What would be the 
advantages?
