   Try eliminating the banner.  With 2.0a try:

   SPOOL Px NB NT TI=15

   There are two options that I know of for converting your text into
   Postscript:

   Trading Post v1.0 for Laser Tools is a commercial product that lists
   for $79.  (415) 420-8777

   There is a shareware program called POST.COM that is also available.  They
   ask for a $10 donation.  I do not hav the number handy.  I will not be
   back in the office next week (due to NetWorld).  Perhaps another
   person can help me out here.
