  I have a problem.  I have been doing work on a Macintosh SE in Micro-
soft Word.  I can get Word to generate PostScript representations of the
file I'm working on, and save this to disk.  I then port this file over
to the network system here, and attempt to print it on our Imagen 6320-1
printer.  Whenever I try this, the printer reports only "Offending
command" and flushes the job.  I am presuming that it is caused by an
incompatibility between Mac PostScript, and Imagen's UltraScript (which is
postscript, but with enhancments).  I don't think it difficult to have
a program to convert between these different postscripts, but I know next
to nothing about postscript and can't do it myself.  If anyone has such
a program, or any advice, I be more than happy to hear it.  Post a follow-
up, or send mail to address below.  Thank you.
