I have a modified LaserPrep file for use on a macintosh.  What I want
to do is check chooser names to limit or not limit the number of pages
that will be printed out by a LaserWriter.  Actually, none of this is
the problem.  Currently the program checks to see if certain user
names are being used.  It would be much nicer if it would just check
to see if the last 1 or 2 characters in the user name string are
spaces.  Does anyone know how to do this?  I have some manuals, but
from what I can see Postscript is decidedly lacking in string
manipulation abilities.  Not a flame, mind you, just an observation.

Anyway, help would be appreciated

I hate it when other people put this, but I haven't the time to read
this newsgroup every day, so please respond directly to me.

Thanks again,

Vaughan
