I've been scratching my head trying to figure out why my Publishing Partner
postscript files wouldn't run on the Apple Laserwriter connected to the
vax here, not being much of a laserwriter/postscript hacker.  After some
fooling around I found that our laserwriter doesn't like lines bigger than
about 130 chars (128? 132? something like that).  In the definition section
of the postscript file there a definition (for /s) that is about 160 chars
that was causing my problem, but I notice other lines get uncomfortably
long thoughout the file.
Does anyone know if the laserwriter line length is selectable?  I couldn't
find mention of it in the books here.  Should this be considered a bug?
Since I just got an update of publishing partner, and other people seem to
be using it, I'm wondering if our laserwriter is peculiar, or are other
people just fixing it and not worrying about it?
