   To print a postscript file on a VAX I did the following:

	I added a port called C:\temp\ps.ps to my port listings in WIN.INI
	I selected that port in control pannel for the postscript printer
	I checked that printer,port in the win.ini. 
	I copied  all the missing font info from the postscript printer 
		for lpt1: to the postscript printer on ps.ps
	I selected thst printer and printed to file
	I uploaded the file to the VAX and printed useing the special 
		commands for a postscript printer.
