You mean I shouldn't have 'fixed' it? Aaahh!
The file worked fine for me when it had the spurious lines, printed O.K.,
viewed via Solaris pageview fine, and Adobe Exchange read it as a .ps file
with no complaints.
Now that I 'fixed' it by removing spurious characters, all works but for
LPR printing on my IIIsi.
Spurious characters will return to the posted .PS version, you may resume
postscript editing if you like.
