I just got my postscript printer and am new to this group, so please
forgive me if this request is one of those that get posted every week
or so.

I need some kind of scaleable playing cards.  If I can't get any from the
the net, I'll have to make up my own.  It would be kind of fun, but my
thesis adviser would probably view the time spent of unproductive (he wants
me to work on my thesis, not have fun with postscript)

Any help would be appreciated.  Postscript source would be greatly appreciated.
Postscript source to the fantastic cards featured in the great mag. 'U&lc' a
few issues ago would just blow me away.

ad(thanks)vance,

PS: If you don't know about U&lc, you should check it out.  It's put out by
    International Typeface Corporation.  It's the only magazine I know of that
    tells you the name of every sinlge font used in every artical.  Realy,
    this is a fantiastic magazine if you are interested in typography or
    graphic design.  The inside cover sayes it's $10.00 a year, but they seem
    to be vary liberial with who thay give free subscriptions to (They gave me
    one when I was a graduate student in computer science).  A recient issue
    featured some spiffy playing card designs done to "test out" the use of
    two colors in post script.  These cards were fantastic, both front
    and back.
