Subj:	New LASER symbiont for postscript printers.

Sometime ago I announced that I had taken the postscript LASER symbiont and had
made many changes to it, including adding tektronix support.  I recently fixed
several bugs I had found with it, so I am announcing it again.  Anyone
interested in it should FTP it from PFC.MIT.EDU.  Some of the new features are:

	Automatic detection of postscript and tektronix files.  
	Notification and error messages broadcasted to user's terminal.
	Emulation of DECPrint PRINT/PARAMETER= commands.  
	Can specify start and end pages.  
	NUMBER_UP capability.
	HEADERS form modified to allow specifying font size and
	allow alternating left and right margins at end of page for
	double sided output.

If there is interest, I can post the sources here.
