PostScript Language Document Structuring Conventions Specification http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5001.DSC_Spec.pdf 3.1 Conforming Documents A conforming document can expect to receive the maximum amount of services from any document manager. A conforming document is recognized by the header comment %!PS-Adobe-3.0 and is optionally followed by keywords indicating the type of document. 3.2 Non-Conforming Documents A non-conforming document is recognized by the %! header comment. Under no circumstances should a non-conforming document use the %!PS-Adobe-3.0 header comment. -- -- Rod -- rodd(at)polylogics(dot)com
