This is primarily for BKW, cause I think you're the closest we have to a gpcl
expert, but I figured I'd put it on the list anyway, case someone else has
some useful info.
We had to move a client from SuSE ancient.old to something recent at the end
of last year, and a bunch of their archive invoice reprint code -- which we
feed to ghostpcl to email it out -- uses chr(255) to put in a "wanted" blank
line... and the newer gpcl we moved them to:

is putting that out as a christian-cross character. I infer the old gpcl
did something more useful, but that machine's dead. I don't seem to be able
to locate a glyph mapping chart for pcl6 that's in *hex*, or at least decimal,
and my octal skills are about 45 years old.
Do you know if/where there's a chart that will tell me what to expect pcl6
to put out for a given decimal CHR(), so I don't have to just try each one? ;-)
Cheers,
