	Thanks to all of those people who have sent me advice concerning the
care and feeding of EPS files.  The standard UNIX lpr command (at least, in
SunOS version 3.5) will indeed handle a PostScript file just fine.  However, 
there is still a problem...

	I have been attempting to use my campus computer to attempt to print 
music files from my PC scoring program, Dr. T.'s the Copyist III, version 1.6.
I have loaded a test EPS file (called harmony1.eps) and the Adobe Sonata font
(called sonata.txt) onto my account.  The prolog of harmony1.eps looks like 
this:

	%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2
	%%BoundingBox: 18 769.040000 594 775.76
	%%DocumentFonts: Sonata Courier Times-Roman Times-Italic 
	  Times-BoldItalic 
	%%Creator: The Copyist
	%%Title: A:\HARMONY1.ME
	%%EndComments

	If I understand this correctly, this document has indicated that it
requires the Sonata font for printing.  The prolog of the file sonata.txt, if
I am reading it correctly, appears to identify itself as the Sonata font (sor-
ry about the funny formatting and hyphenation, but there was no way that I
could discover to read the contents of this file {apparently a single string!}
except to pipe it through nroff):

	%!PS-AdobeFont-1.0%%CreationDate:  Sun  Mar    8   17:24:49   PST
	1987%%VMusage: 33373 48645% Trademark (tm) 1986 Adobe Systems In-
	corporated.  All rights reserved.serverdict begin 0  exitserver14
	dict begin/FontInfo 9 dict dup begin  /version (001.000) readonly
	def  /Notice (Sonata is a trademark of Adobe Systems  Incorporat-
	ed)  readonly  def   /FullName (Sonata) readonly def  /FamilyName

	Huggins/FontName   /Sonata   def/PaintType   0   def/FontType   1

	(...etc.)

	Unless there's something important that I've missed, I see no reason
why the following command would not work:

	cat sonata.txt harmony1.eps | lpr

	But, in fact, it does NOT work.  The file is printed, but all the
special music characters are printed in oversized Courier text.  It's very
amusing to see, and it's reminiscent of some modern notation conventions, but
it is not readable music... does anyone know why, and how to fix the problem?

	Thanks in advance.
