Without claiming to be authoritative on other matters, here's what you
get when you talk to a vanilla LaserWriter:

	PostScript(tm) Version 23.0
	Copyright (c) 1984 Adobe Systems Incorporated.
	PS>


And the more recent  LaserWriter IINTX:

	PostScript(r) Version 47.0
	Copyright (c) 1984, '85, '86, '87 Adobe Systems Inc.
	Copyright (c) 1981 Linotype     All Rights Reserved.
	PS>

So now you know the Awful Truth.  I don't know if this is explicit enough
to satisfy you, or the courts, and I don't much care -- just thought
I'd clear up the matter of fact.
