1720.0. "New PostSCript option for CDA viewer" by RTL::BRINKLEY (Do it right all the time) Fri Nov 10 1989 10:35

I noticed that Hickory will have a new PostScript option for the CDA viewer. 
Will the tools that create PostScript files use the PostScript RMS filetype?
The RMS filetype is the best way for an application (DWMail for example) to 
intelligently display the PostScript image. I think I know the answer but it
is worth raising the question (issue, whatever).

	Hi Roger, fancy meeting you here:-).

	My understanding is that the PostScript file tag won't be there
	yet for Hickory (even if it is, it'd be a while before layered products
	start using it anyway). So, any application needing to recognize
	PostScript files is for the near term going to have to fallback on
	looking for "%!" on anything that looks like a text file.
