I have fetched the files AFMformat3.0.ps and AFMformat2.0.ps
from the Adobe file server, but I don't seem to be able to print
them.  I have had success with other documents from the fileserver, 
so I feel reasonably confident that I'm not doing anything completely
off the wall (as the actress said to the Bishop).

I have tried AFMformat3.0.ps on a QMS Jetscript board, running PS 47.2,
and all the pages came out stretched  vertically by a factor of about
eight.  I tried the same document on a LJ III with the Adobe PS 
cartridge (PS version 52.2) and the printer has been "Processing Data"
for about an hour, with nary a page to show for it.  (The same happened
with AFMformat2.0.ps.)

I have written a query to ps-file-person@adobe.com, with no reply
yet.

Has anyone had more success than me with these documents?  If so, how?

Thanks,

Dominik
