  You mean you posted your message separately to comp.lang.postscript, rather
than cross-posting to both comp.unix.questions and comp.lang.postscript in one
message?  See the paragraph entitled "Only Post a Message Once" in the posting
"A Primer on How to Work With the Usenet Community" posted periodically to
news.announce.newusers.  If the article has expired at your site, you can get
it via anonymous ftp from pit-manager.mit.edu in the file

	/pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers/A_Primer_on_How_to_Work_With_the_Usenet_Community

or by sending mail to "mail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu" with the subject or
text

	send usenet/news.announce.newusers/A_Primer_on_How_to_Work_With_the_Usenet_Community

  You can retrieve from anonymous ftp archives using the bitftp server on
pucc.princeton.edu.  For more information, send a message to
"bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu" with text "help".

  Furthermore, there is a mail server on the machin hrc.UUCP that has
comp.sources.unix archived.  Send mail to "archives@hrc.UUCP" with contents

	send path uunet!tellab5!wiseman
	send help
