Dear group-
I have often used the "save as Postscript" option on a Mac to
save a Word document as PS. Transferred to my Sun, I print it out
on our Sparcprinter. However, this file, which works fine with SendPS
to our Applelaser IIg, makes newsprint vomit back:
Messages from output filter:

]%%
The file in /tmp eventually outgrows available diskspace (my input file
is 50K, eexec.13357 got to 56 Mb...)
This worked fine before I got System 7.0.1. Has anyone else run into
this problem?
