I'll give you a C answer then :-)

#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
   char[80]	book_to_read, sending_to_postscript_printer, reason;

   book_to_read = "PostScript Reference from Adobe, the red book";
   sending_to_postscript_printer = "sending plain ascii to printer port";
   reason = "PostScript is itself pure ascii, no trick, not binary encoding";
}
