Thank you for the comments we've been receiving in loads!

Apparently I left out some useful information in my last post.

The ftp site was broken during the first 12 hours we announced it. We
forgot to use 'binary more' (see below).

Some of the examples simply won't work on anything less than an LPS40
or an on-line interpreter. Sorry!! We're trying to deal with memory
issues for our next release. The good news is none of the code depends
on having a PostScript 2 interpreter. 1 is fine.

I would be happy to e-mail the stuff to anyone without ftp access.

For those of you unfamiliar with ftp, my UNIX session looks like this:
