I use the following postscript program from the net to write
"DRAFT" on the middle of a page in big grey letters. It works
great with Microsoft Word on the Macintosh.

%% This overlay produces a 1 inch
%% tall DRAFT at a 45 degree angle in the center of the page.
%% The routine is self-adjusting so any string can be placed in instead
%% of DRAFT in the above routine and used.

Can a postscript guru provide a modification to produce the
"DRAFT" in outline letters, rather than solid gray?
I don't read the newsgroup, so please mail replies to
malis@bbn.com or ...!bbn!malis. I promise to post a working
reply.
Thanks, as they say, in advance.
