What a surprise when printing this file: It seems that the max segments
number, on a LW II NT, is less than the 1500 announced in the Red Book
for a LaserWriter!

What's the point? How can anybody know these implementation limits (they are
not in PPD files from Adobe)?

Thanks for any reply.

PS: Is GETapd.ps, the prog used by Adobe for producing PPD files, Adobe proprie-
tary or freely available? Not all PS-printers have a PPD file at Adobe ps-file-
server, ex: Agfa P400 ps, DEC ps printer...
