Thanks for the clarification! The one time I've used an actual print
shop was about twenty years ago, doing copy for letterhead/envelopes for
the IPPNW, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.
Took the PostScript to them on 5.25" floppies.

(I see that both IPPNW and U and I Type Services are still active, and
IPPNW are still using what appears to be the same logo.)
