For a PostScript printer, CR/LF translation won't affect ANYTHING.

Surely there're easier ways than a little C program ... say,
translation on the tty port (assuming a serial port), or ``tr''?
Joseph: back to the problem with the HP LaserJet 4 with PostScript. I

filter. If you didn't receive them, let me know. If you did receive
them and they're not working, let me know.
