I still can't get the damn thing to work with our Apple Laserwriters.
We're using transcript, but the file I'm sending is just a simple
postscript file.

Here's what I send (catenated together):
	- the still.ps program with a "distill" at the end
	- my ps program
	- a ^D to indicate end-of-file

And heres what shows up in our psc-log file:
------------------------
psbanner: drill.me:eastick  Job: jnk.ps  Date: Fri Mar  3 13:30:39 1989
psif: drill.me:eastick nogroup start - psc3%!PS-Adobe-2.1 debug version ((V 1.0d release 9 edit 08))
output file: nullx
%%[ Error: undefinedfilename; OffendingCommand: file ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
psif: printer sync problem [2] ()
psif: end - Fri Mar  3 13:33:13 1989
------------------------

It looks like it tries to start printing the new prologue (sp?), but
then barfs. Help?

What does the Glen mean when he says one should have a
file system handy to use an interpreter? I've tried using sunPS (I
think we got it off the net a while back), and psview and psh in NeWS
on an SGI-4D with no success. If anyone has used the still with either
or these, I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks
