I am writing a set PostScript NSF proposal forms for all the
new forms.  I have got them all finished except on the budget
sheet the dollar amount are printed as $100000.00, and I would
like to have them printed as $100,000.00.  I could have this done
in my C program since all these PostScript files are generated
by a C program NSFFroms, but I thought it might be fun to
see if PostScript is flexible enough for this simple task.

Before I go ahead to wite this PS procedure, I wonder if
someone has already sone this so I don have to reinvent
the wheel.

Thanks in advance.
