The most obscure PostScript command I ever used was "setpage". This command was never part of PostScript language, but was recognized by the Monotype Prism phototypesetter. It was used to set the typesetter to print pages either Transverse or otherwise (Normal). As the command was non-standard, I bracketed it with "statusdict /setpage known" so my code would still work on other printers. This worked perfectly until I encountered another PostScript interpreter that *also* recognized "setprint", but for a different purpose and with an incompatible syntax. -- Regards, Martin Leese E-mail: please@see.Web.for.e-mail.INVALID Web: http://members.tripod.com/martin_leese/
