Though I haven't seen the PostScript Windows cranks out, I've certainly seen
what MS Word 5 cranks out. 

No fun.

Do people have any favourite `acid tests' they use to get some idea of
PostScript compatibility? My current one is to download the PostScript file
onto our NeXT and let Preview image it. It's the only non-LaserWriter
PostScript implementation I have access to, and the results can be useful.
