Does anybody know why this charater shows up in PostScript files created
by Writenow.
The reason I am asking is that the particular lpr that we are running
finds this charater and upon deciding that it is not an ascii char concludes
that the file is a garbage file, and drops the job.
I have ways to force lpr to accept the job, but I would like to know if this
is a bug or is this char supposed to be there.

P.S. Can we please get back to talking about the NeXT computer.
Maybe we should start a new group Alt.flame.NeXT_vs_Apple
