This is just plain not so.  The % is a comment.  The interpreter will just
ignore this line.  NONE of my files use the %!.  It is merely a commenting
structure having to do with EPS. (Encapsulated postscript).  Some SPOOLERS
like to see it, but the printer its self could give a rats hind end about it.
EPS has been defined by Adobe, but it has wound up being a real rats nest
of complexity.  This application can't interpret that applications eps
file and vise-versa.  In my opion it is highly over-rated and quite
useless.  But then again I don't use my postscript printer as an output
device for canned programs much, except for Pagemaker, Microsoft word,
and Arts & letters, none of the literaly thousands of programs (well over
300 disks full) that I have support Postscript so EPS really is no
big deal for me.  I have rarely derived any benifit from it, though I suppose
that if I were importing  postscript files it might have some.  Actualy
the only thing that normally affects anything is the bounding box line.
