Watermark/Draft Program

I'm looking for a program that will print a "watermark" accross every page of
a postscript file. I am using one now, but it's got a few problems/limitations:
	(1) It does only single line watermarks; doing 2 or more lines, if possible
	    with different font size would be better
	(2) It does only block (i.e. outline) characters; I'm looking for something
	    that will do solid gray characters; color watermark is even better
	(3) It uses "sed" to process the input file. Now, my source has an EPS insert,
	    and it seems to come from a non-Unix system (PC?). Seems like CR's are
	    missing; it prints OK, but sed complains about "line too long" and dies,
	    truncating the file. I've had to go around this using other arcane edit
	    methods... So, if the program doesn't use sed or something else relying
	    on Unix's line lenght, the better

Please respond to me by e-Mail, as I read news every once in a while. Thanks
