why everything prints on one line

[Jude DaShiell]

Because once postscript gets its mitts on the file,, postscript strips out 
all of the line feeds.  That's what's happening on the printer and that's 
why it's happening.  I proved this by doing a2ps -r -o biglots.doc 
biglots.txt <cr> file biglots.doc came back as a postscript file level 3. 
So mv biglots.txt biglots.ps <cr> ps2ascii biglots.ps <cr> and everything 
came out as one line with headers and footers.  The biglots.txt file has 
13 lines in it.
