	Does anyone know of or have a postscript program that will
allow the printing of regular ascii files on a HP laserjet II with
a postscript cartridge?  I asked in an earlier message, but I didn't
make it clear on what I needed.  

What I need is a *POSTSCRIPT* program, not an IBM executable, not a
unix executable.  I need a poscript program that I can append text to
and have it print on a PS printer without goofing up.  If anyone has
successfully used the program Adobe has provided on an IBM environment,
please let me know how you got the printer to go from PS mode to PCL
mode after it finished printing without having the printer timeout
after every print job.  Thanks!
