It there a portable (between different vendor's PostScript printers) way
to determine what the printer regards as the top of the image area?

I have a version using pagetype that works on the several printers of
direct concern, but I'd rather try to get something off of initclip.

Is there a way to determine the bounding box of the default clipping
path?  Is there a way (without hard coding page dimensions in the program)
to get the equivalent information?

Thanks much,
		mike
