Don't know. I suspect that what you'd want is to produce a PS file which 
contained plain ascii text, as PS files are essentially binary. I've 
never actually run the XWindows system on Z/OS so I don't know, but I 
suspect that what you'd want to work is that if you took a PS file you 
generated on a PC, FTPd it in binary to your z/OS machine and displayed 
it, it would look right.
