I too have noticed this "eexec" problem, with fonts that work fine
on a NeXT.

Also, I aquired a file called warbird.PS (I believe it was from
ab20.larc.nasa.gov somewhere, look in FILES.Z).  This is a rendering of
the Romulan Warbird from Star Trek the Next Generation.  It also works
fine on the NeXT, but apparently causes an infinite loop in Post 1.3-1.5.
I've never tried an earlier version of post with it.  It is necessary to
reboot to get out of it, Post just locks up.

I've also noticed that Post uses horrible colors (very bad contrast)
for the file requester when in color mode.

Otherwise, I like this program very much, but am disturbed by these
annoying problems with the eexec and the lockup.

I hope the author can be made aware of them and fix them.

Sorry about crossposting this, but I am trying to attract the author's
attention, if he has usenet access.
