 I use this fragment of code (I didnt write it.... but it works...)

gsave
initmatrix 72 dup scale
/Helvetica-Bold findfont 1 scalefont setfont
(DRAFT) dup
stringwidth pop
4.5 5.5 translate
60 rotate 2 div neg 0 moveto
.95 setgray
show
grestore

You can put any characther string in the place of the word draft...(i find
that "confidential" is another good word to use...), and then put this
into the header of the document.  Make sure that you format the text as
hidden and of style Postscript (from the PS glossary).

Hope that helps....
