Don't have the books with me here.....  Is PostScript supposed to be
7 bit ASCII or 8 bit?  I've been able to download IBM's DCF SCRIPT in
ASCII, but it is 8 bit.  Drives the lowly Apple LW crazy trying to print.
I can convert it to 7 bit, but I was wondering if it was defined in the
language anywhere.
