  I recently upgraded my Plus to system 6.0.2 and have been unable to 
print PostScript files (generated within MSWord4 with the command-f or 
command-k keystrokes) through a mainframe.  I had been using the 
LaserPrep header file uploaded by Sigurd Meldal about a year ago (which is
currently archived as info-mac/misc/laserprep-65-postscript.txt in the
sumex archives).
 This header was left resident on a VAX system which was connected to 
a PostScript printer.  I would simply upload my PS files (using VersaTerm 
Kermit), append them to this header and send it to the printer. Obviously, 
the new LaserPrep file is different so I need to replace the old one. 
Has anyone out there created a new version?  I've made several attempts at
editing the Prep file myself, but since I'm not fluent in PostScript
this has been an exercise in futility.  Any hints or suggestions would
be appreciated.
