Hi Chris-
     I'm the Production Manager for Addison-Wesley's Corporate and
Professional Group, and Lana asked me to print out the sample manuscript file
you sent to cppost. I received the updated file with the trailer ".ps" but am
unable to print it using a PostScript downloader. I called it up in a text
editor to check the coding, and it doesn't look a typical PostScript file.
Below is the beginning of such a file; note that it always starts with
"%!PS-Adobe-3.0" and then continues with set-up information before beginning
the actual commands. I tried pasting a similar header into your message, but
that didn't help.
     Please let me know what program you are using; perhaps I'll be able to
read a file in that program directly, or make suggestions on how to save from
that program into a PostScript file I can read. Since Lana and John are both
at USENIX this week, please feel free to contact me directly to discuss.
Thanks. I'm looking forward to working together.
