As I recall, I never had to do anything special to print the files back
then either.  I think Ghostscript also worked well back then as a previewer,
so you didn't waste your quota on something that didn't look right.

There could be...think I have maybe a year's worth of newsletters, or maybe
more.

I also have a bunch of AppleWorks word-processor files that I might try
bringing into the present.  Many (most?) of them used TimeOut SuperFonts (?)
for NLQ printing on the Imagewriter I had at the time (and still have,
though it's been years since I last used it); converting that to a modern
format while preserving the formatting might be an interesting exercise.
