Check it out.

I have a PS file which is a graph created on an IBM clone.  I copied it
over to the Mac and I can use SendPS to print it on a LaserWriter Plus. 
But when I send it to a LaserWriter II nt, all it prints is the text of
the PS file with some strange error message on the top.  

What gives?
The file looks like this:

/NEWPATH

108 144 moveto

508 144 lineto

508 684 lineto

108 684 lineto

108 144 lineto

.

 558  90  moveto

( 814.2) show

 666  90  moveto

( 957.8) show

Do I need to attach some kind of header to make the nt accept this?  How
can I get the nt to accept this?
