	Ok, I did this.  I created a file with my test text in it.  I printed
	it with cmd-F to get the prolog-less postscript file.  
	I also dumped the file with the prolog. I printed a 
	blank document (all this MS Word) with the cmd-K option to get 
	the laserprep file.  I downloaded both to my sun 3/60.  Then
	I ran the prepfix program to munge the laserprep file, installed
	in the correct directory along with the macps.config file.

	When I dump the file with the prolog to the LaserWriter IINT, it
	churns and blinks the green light for about 3 minutes and... prints
	nothing.  When  I tried to display it with the PS display program
	that I got from the net, it puts up a blank page and then aborts
	with this message:  "undefined in operator statusdict"

	Then I tried the same thing with the file created by the macps
	program from the prolog-less (cmd-F) version of the test file.
	Same result on both the printer and PS.

	Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
