Postscript printer question

[Peter]

Your message makes little sense, sorry. What I know: 0x7E is the ascii 
code for '~'. Tildes are special in PS so they get printed escaped as 
you saw. You can insert a filter that turns <7E> into '~'. It must 
appear between OO and the 'program'. One way to do this is to provide an 
alias for lpr that does this. The filer can be a 1-liner that 
substitutes ~ for every <7E>. Be aware that PS with ~'s will not be PS. 
Also other ~'s in PS must be escaped to they are *not* '~'s when the 
other program runs.

So, a simple answer would be, how about changing the OO application so 
it uses something other than '~' as trigger ? Say a dichar, like [} ?
