	After many many happy months of running lwsrv to let our Macs get
at LaserWriters plugged into an RS-232 port on a Sun, we've discovered a
small problem.  Lwsrv seems to strip the high bit from every character.
People have reported that if they print a document on the lwsvriced (have I
take verbification too far with that one?) printer, all their degree signs
get turned into zeros.  Presumably, a degree sign is just a meta-0 in the
font they are using.  Is there any good reason why lwsrv does this?  Is
there any easy way to turn it off?
