The fact that it came in postscript format is just because today's printers don't always understand the carriage control of yesterday's line printers. I think this is a whole lot more appropriate than the gif to ascii conversions that abound. I would love to see more. Specifically, when I was in college (long, long ago), there was one of these overprint files floating around that was Spock holding a model of the Enterprise (that's how long ago it was). Has anyone still got that? And postscript format would be perfect.
