Dumb PostScript Defaults [message #73848]

Folks,

I'm tired of getting e-mails that tell me my "stupid
program doesn't work in PostScript". My programs don't
work in PostScript because of stupid PostScript defaults!

Anyway, I just updated all my "device independent"
programs to set the damn PostScript device properly
so things just work. I don't normally recommend (or
write!) programs that do things behind your back,
but in this case it seems justified.

Here is what I am doing:

IF !D.Name EQ 'PS' THEN Device, COLOR=1, BITS_PER_PIXEL=8

Can anyone think of a reason why this would NOT be a good idea?

Cheers,

David
