- Thanks to Jerzy Michal Pawlak who helped me resolve this. Two things to
- do to the posted file:
-
- a) Prefix it with a %! record (so the ps text doesn't print as ascii), and
- b) remove a redundant ")" in the following line:
-
- /Notice (Copyright )1988, 1989, 1990, 1991 Lawrence N. Huppert) readonly
- ^
- |_____ (remove this paren)
-
- The resulting file prints (but Ghostscript here still chokes)-: . Thanks
- again Michal. b.
