Has anyone out there fixed up WordPerfect 5.0's use of linedraw under
Postscript?  For those unaware of the problem, if you use a significant
amount of linedraw in a document (for example a form made in WP) and 
print it out on a Postscript printer, WP 5.0 will draw each of the line-
draw characters ONE-AT-A-TIME!  This works, I will hand it it them, they
did do a fairly good job, but I was hoping that someone out there with
more PS experience than myself had already done the right thing, made a 
small pre-document file to change WP's method (redoing each character 
every time resulting in 15 minutes/page) to making a quick, user-defined
font which has all the characters defined and cached.  

Anyone out there do this yet?  If so please let me know and/or let me 
get the changes needed.  Thanks
