   Could someone please give me hints on using Russ Nelson's face2ps suite
   of programs?  I compiled it on a Sun 3 running SunOS 4.0.3 using gcc
   version 1.35 and it just says "Memory fault".  What are the command
   line args etc. anyway?

Hmmmm...  I suspect that the code to find the program name doesn't
work.  The command line args are given in the README file.  Try the
following patch:

  		fprintf(stderr, "%s: ran out of memory on setvbuf to stdout\n",
