What is the type of password according to the PostScript language standard?
The reason I ask is that for LaserWriters, the type is a numeric. However,
I remember distinctly that for the DEC LN03R (DEC's PostScript Printer),
the type of password was a string. (I personally like a string for more
variety.) Naturally, code sent as num will get rejected when the printer
is expecting a str. So, what's the type?
Yan.
