Depends on how you configure your printer, really.  Here's a
trick I'm using to get perfectly portable files:

1. install the QMS 810 driver (a good ole PostScript level 1 printer)
2. rename it as "Plain PostScript" or something, and route it
   to the FILE device.

The files you get will print on virtually everything, especially
if you avoid non-standard fonts.

I'm convinced! ;-)

Thanks /F

PS. To please users without access to either Word or Frame, is there
some way to go from RTF -> PostScript out there?  Perhaps via groff?
