1.1     ! root        1: 
        !             2: BGI (Basic Graphical Instructions) to PostScript translator. Probably
        !             3: not useful outside the Computer Centers. Added code to tie lines to
        !             4: device space coordinates. Helps eliminate variations in line widths
        !             5: noticeable when users selected a non-zero linewidth with the -w option.
        !             6: 
        !             7: Much that was omitted from early versions of the program has been
        !             8: implemented. What's in place will handle most STARE (black and white)
        !             9: and PRISM (color) BGI jobs. PRISM jobs often fill regions with color,
        !            10: and need require device specific tuning to get things just right. An
        !            11: easy solution is add "-P/prism true def" option to the postbgi command
        !            12: line when you translate PRISM jobs.
        !            13: 
        !            14: A typical command line for STARE jobs would be,
        !            15: 
        !            16:        postbgi file >file.ps
        !            17: 
        !            18: while for PRISM jobs use,
        !            19: 
        !            20:        postbgi -P"/prism true def" file >file.ps
