	It does not appear that the size of a unit within the
default user space is 1/72nd of an inch, as in standard PostScript.
Is this true? If so, why the deviation? I suspect that it may
just be a hardware limitation, because the size of a unit appears
to be about 1/83rd of an inch, on a 3/160, which sounds pretty
close to the pixels per inch value.

Thanks in advance.
