Sorry for the confusion - Adobe transcript also has a "psroff".  (I didn't
know that at the time, nor was "psroff" my idea anyways...)

Another approach is this:
	psroff -P'P800 0 translate 90 rotate'

Immediately before the "%%EndProlog" (very end of the file) if you decide to go
that route.  (which is where the "-PP" puts it).  You can also configure in the
psrofflib to have two different psroff "-T" options to select one ps.lib or the
other.
