I have been playing around with invoking Diablo emulation mode
via a PostScript program.  The way I wish to use it is to prepend
it to an ASCII file for printing.  I have seen several other 
methods for printing ASCII files most of them doing so by prepending
an ASCII emulator to the file.  I do have a problem though with
carriage return not working.  Line feeds work but carriage returns
do not.  One question I have (for Glenn I guess) is "Do all
PostScript printers support Diablo emulation?".  The program appears
below.  Any help and comments are appreciated.

/dodiablo{
  {
    statusdict
    begin
      (Courier)             % Normal Font
      (Courier-Bold)        % Bolding Font
      10                    % CPI (10,12,15)
      1                     % 1 - Auto Linefeed   0 - No Auto Linefeed
      /diablo load
    end
    exec
  }
  stopped
  {
    showpage
  }if
}def
dodiablo
Now is the time for the ASCII file to follow.
But when I print on the next line, it only
performs NL and not CR
\004


     Thanks,
     Danny
