I still believe that there should be some kind of available group for PostScript
sources, be it a comp.sources.postscript or a comp.lang.postscript.sources
group.  It should not be an alt group, so that more readers can get it.

Sorry Chris, never received it.  Could you send it out again, to my work
address?
