Thank you to everybody who replied to my question about how to stdin without
getting CR+LF translated to LF.
The replies defenitly did not agree, but I have my self done a litle additional
manual reading and some testing.
Data read by "read" or "readsting" *should* not undergo EOL translating.
But on several PostScript printers "read" and "readstring" does do EOL trans-
lating! On these printers I do not know how to avoid EOL translating.
I do not know if this is connected to any special PostScript versions or any
special brands of PostScript printers.

Again, thanks to everybody who replied to my question. My saved old artikels
and mail notes has turned into a mess so I hope you forgive me for not
thanking you personally.
