  I was wondering if anyone knows how to transfer a file from a Mac to a 
Postscript printer tied into an Ethernet.  I've got macget and macput (I don't
recall which one does the uploading).  I can upload a Mac file to UNIX and find
it broken down into three components: .rsrc, .info, .data.
  It seems like it ought to be possible to recombine the forks and build a
Mac file in the UNIX environment and send that Mac file to a Postscript Laser
printer.
  Has anyone done anything like this?  Thanks for any input on this issue.
