OOPS.

I posted a long article yesterday about the problems I was having
with a data printing program I had written.  After much futzing
around I finally found out that it was the data I was trying to
print, and not the program that was the problem.  Some of my data
began with '0', which apparently the LaserWriter here can't handle,
even when it is reading the value from an ascii file using the
'read' command.  Is this inherent in the LaserWriter, or do all
implementations of PostScript do this?  Maybe it is just the setup
we have here.  Oh well, I am hoping this is the end of my problems.
Thanks, and sorry for the long-winded posting.
