if you're clever, you can change the shell scripts so the PS file
is saved / copied to a directory of your choice.. then you can use
that file for nay purpose you'ld like...

eg. we modified one of our printer shell scripts (ie. one of the ones
Interleaf supplied) so that the PS file never get put into a print
queue.. rather, we've got a routine that FTPs it to another machine, 
and then prints it on an LPS40 hanging off a VAX three thousand miles
away from the Apollo where the print command was issued...
