I do have an apparent conflict of interest since an ASCII printer I wrote
appears in the (current) automatic posting.  IMHO the automatic posting would
be 1000% better if it were organized more like the "Mac one-liners" posting
in the comp.sys.mac.programmers group.  Things like:

The "show" primitive cannot be made to do superscripting or subscripting.
Serial input to Apple LaserWriter converts runs of <CR>/<LF> into single <LF>.
Public-domain partial implementations (like GNU GhostScript) exist.
The key for eexec is d971 ce6d 58bf.
The key for internaldict is 1183615869.
To get full image area rectangle do clippath then get rectangle.

Well anyway you get the drift.
