I hope someone can help me.  I have a program that was written
by someone else that uses postscript commands.  When I send the
files to the printer, I only get listings of the files; no 
graphics.  

I am at Purdue University.  Does someone know the lpr command
that will send catenated files to the printer so it will work
with graphics?

I hope I'm not confusing you.  I could send out this program.

Basically, it will print out cassette labels.  You cat the program
with a file that "fills in the blanks" and it should work.  It works
other places.  I just need to know if there is some option I should
choose.

Thanks,
Mike

You probably have a "smart spooler" that automatically
detects ASCII and converts it to postscript.  Try prepending
%! as the first line.  %! (should) indicate that the following
stuff is already postscript.
