I have written a PS program to output our Department letterhead. I would like to include this into the PS input to the printer, so that a person could print a letter on Dept. letterhead without actually changing the printer paper. Here, we use psroff, psdit (PS DITroff), and Apple Laserwriters. The output from psdit (which then goes to the printer) has a really crazy "prolog" that rescales the page and translates it. My present problem is this: I can get the "letterhead" to come out but my letter's text is in the top left corner, and (looks like) it's scaled by 0.4 X 0.4 . I have inserted my PS program before any of the "prolog" commands are executed, and everything (I think) is translated back to what it was before I started. Any experienced help in this matter would be appreciated. Thanks -- Doug Eastick BITNET: eastick@me.UTORONTO UUCP: ...!utai!me!eastick EDU: eastick@me.toronto.edu

I've done exactly that, stuffing the postscript for the letterhead
down before the Adobe prolog, and it works fine. Maybe there's some bug
in your postscript. This is what I do (memoline1 and memoline2 are
def'd to be the name and address of the department and pushed down
by the shell script in advance of this file):
gsave
