]Am I doing something wrong?  Or did somebody not test this thing
]before publishing it?

I did not find *those* errors, because when I first tried 
the program, I had already loaded the ehandler.ps from 
Adobe, which promptly revealed a series of typos and other
problems.  That day I posted the corrections I had made,
with remarks that I had not tested the downloaded fonts
or 3-column aspects.  The two other modes of the program
worked fine on my LW II NTX.

I'm sorry, but I do not have the corrected machine-readable
in my home machine (it's at the office), but I have an 
uncorrected copy at home *and* a corrected listing.  I
will post that if someone asks, but be forewarned that I
have no laser printer at home and cannot actually test
here.

Email me if you'd like to have it.
