I just did the change on 6.0.1 successfully with item number 22, same
as with 6.0.  I assume that you are aware that the resultant file
will end up in a folder called Spool Folder in the System Folder
(if you print with background printing on).  If background printing
is off, the file can end up most anywhere on the disk, depending on
where the file pointer is directing output to, i.e. where the last
application you envoked was residing.

I tried to take a MacPS file (that says %!PS-Adobe-2.0 at the top) and
print it from the sun and I get nothing.  Printing a sun file
(with %!PS-Adobe at the top) will print on the Mac just fine.  What
am I doing wrong?
