I have been using PP with a Laser Writer on a Vax for about a month. If
you are using unix the fix is fairly simple. Use tr to translate all
^M's in the file to ^J's (make them unix style newlines)
Ex:
	tr '\015' '\012' <infile >outfile
The other problem we encountered was in the preamble. The first four
lines of the file generated from the command above will contain 2 ^C's
which will kill the job in the spooler.

The filter included below should be run after you have changed the newlines
it will generate the correct preamble for the adobe postscript driver
under Berkley 4.2

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
	int c;
	
	while((c=getchar())!= '/');
	printf("%%!\n");
	putchar(c);
	while((c=getchar())!=EOF)
		putchar(c);
}
