Rich,Thanks for the reply. Still having probs.  It seems like it should
work, (doesn't it always?) but I'm still getting garbage while printing gs.
ASCII works, and even the top of the .ps file prints some legible chars.
%!PS - Adobe-2.0
%%Creator: ........blah, blah
%%Title: ......blah
and a few more lines
  then,
%%BeginProcSet: tex.pro
then a bunch of garbage.

Anybody got some insight?
thanks,
Phil Dyer
