I need a translator that can map a PC's 256 extended character codes,
(i.e. standard ASCII plus all the graphic characters corresponding
to codes with the 8th bit set) to Postscript.  A typical use would
be to preserve IBM graphics when printing files on a non-local
Postscript printer.  Ideally, I'm looking for UNIX compatible source
but PC binary or other source would be welcome.  Sorry if this request
has been seen before but my interest in Postscript is new.  Thanks.
