It's an invoice form (the headers and labels and such). Normally we have
these offset printed, and then I run them through the laser to add
amounts and remarks, etc. But it occurred to me that if I could take the
whole thing and send it to the printer, without having to have the forms
printed, it would be kewl. I could just reserve some slots in the
postscript for the actual amounts an remarks, and then have a program
replace the slots with my text. Out to the laser, and voila.
This form was generated by my wife on a Windows box, and I had her dump
it out to postscript so I could play with it. If I can find an editor to
edit the stuff, I can stick in sample amounts and such, and then diff
the original and revised copy. Then I can see where to add the text.
