I also got a note from NeXT after my posting (~ 1 1/2 weeks ago) about Improv  
that said it was shipping at the end of that week.  A week later it was waiting  
in my post office box.  Interestingly enough, today I also received two copies  
(in one package) of the NeXTstep Advantage brochure.  (It's nice.)  I wonder if  
I got it as part of the "Welcome Package" for my '040 upgrade, or someone at  
NeXT saw my posting about not being able to print it on any of my (DEC)  
postscript printers?  (I ftp'd one copy from nova.cc and one from cs.orst with  
the same results...I also tried putting a %!\n at the beginning of the files as  
someone suggested but still nada)

Two copies was great too because I can keep one at work (to aid in my  
tireless(?) attepmts to push NeXT on campus) and one at home.  Thanks NeXT!
