I am trying to prepare a document with Script for printing on a Laserjet  
III, and which I can include a laserjet-printable documentation file for a  
package I'm distributing.  

We don't have a laserjet hooked to the mainframe, so I created a LISTPCL  
file by running LASERJET module on the LASERJET file.  Downloading the  
LISTPCL file to a PC as a text file produced garbage, while downloading it  
in binary produced something that was a bit like what the document should  
be, but had random strange line breaks and many lines overprinted.
I suspec it may have something to do with line breaks being inserted into  
the file.

Does anyone have experience transfering LISTPCL files from VM/CMs to a PC  
and printing on a LaserJet successfully?  If so, how do you do it?
