I made a design error in a recent reporting program by including
captured postscript images from a Macintosh.  It worked quite well, with
my hand-coded postscript and the Mac images printing correctly on the
LaserWriter II NTX.  Then, we changed from the version 5.2 of
LaserWriter to 6.0.  Now, all of my captured postscript is invalid, and
nothing prints.  I am squeaking by this deadline by temporarily
reloading the 5.2 software into the printer, but very soon now I will
have to re-do all the artwork ... unless there is a quick compatibility
fix I can insert into the files that will let the 5.2 created images
still run under the 6.0 driver.

Does anyone know if this is the case?  It would save me a _lot_ of work
if it were so.
