What were you trying to do?
Use macps to make a Macintosh Postscript file printable on
an Athena printer.
What's wrong:
It's kinda broken.
5:36pm 177> echo "hello^?test" > test
5:37pm 179> macps test
%! *** Created by macps: Tue Feb 18 17:37:05 1992
hello\42000test
What should have happened:
The \42000 should be a \177 (the ^? is delete). The result
of this is not attractive on a printout. All three times
I've used macps, this has been a problem. I don't understand
how this has been overlooked.
It's a silly programming error, too.
