Hi!

About transmission of postscript files: I have a little experience with this,
and it can be done (from my experience) if the file is small and you are
willing to correct the Unix newline characters to Apple newline characters
(which can be done with another program). Clearing off the heading etc
will also be needed, and if the file is small that can be conveniently done
with a WP. Sending them with UUNET may avoid these problems, of course.

Of course, this still does not make Postscript files as universal as I 
suggest they should be. Nor for that matter would the brute force method
I describe above necessarily be easy with a LARGE file (I have a word 
processor that can accept files of several megs, but if nothing else you 
should go and have lunch while you're loading it ... and the same when you
try to do anything that requires moving about within the file. Or putting
it back on even a hard disk. Possible, but no fun at all!

			Best and long long life,

				Thomas Donaldson
