This is SOP on the NeXT.  Most of the NeXT on-line documentation is 
saved in .rtf Rich-Text-Format, and converted to display postscript
for even to be brought up on-screen.  Whatever displays may be printed
etc.  Not a ``reasonable'' postscript, but an excellent rendering.

I cannot say whether or not ALL of Micky's design criteria are im-
plemented, as I've never seen any documentation on the full specifications
for rtf.
