I've been trying to get a PostScript program of mine to correctly handle
carriage returns on the Apple LaserWriter.  Much to my dismay I've
discovered that the LaserWriter interpreter, when using serial I/O,
automatically converts carriage return (and carriage return immediately
followed by newline) to newline.

Is there a way a PostScript program can disable this translation
and read a line of input verbatim?


Thanks,

Ben
