NB - POSTSCRIPT USERS:

There may be problems with printing the Postscript versions of
the Electric Mystic's Guide on DEC Postscript printers.  For
Volume One it proved necessary to delete the folowing line (about
380 lines in) for it to print properly:

   letter _bp_ 0 13200 10200 _ornt /CourierR 600 _ff.

(Note that this line still exists in the network-accessible
version of Volume One).

A similar problem may also exit  with Volume Three.  My thanks to
Philip E. Yevics for this information.  I would appreciate
hearing of any other problems with printing EMG.  Please note
that it has been possible to print the EMG on our institution's
IMAGEN printer.
