I would have liked to have been a beta site, but there are things that wouldn't
have let us be one; lack of the SPARCprinter and IPC, until just recently;
lack of the PostScript files that I had that found some problems.

If I would have had this stuff earlier, I may have been able to help out.  I
have to be realistic in that it would have been impossible.  As they say,
timing is everything.
