       Here's some PostScript code which puts the word "DRAFT" diagonally
       across a page in light grey letters.  We insert it right after each
       pagebreak in a generated PostScript file when we need a draft copy of
       something.  (I know, the whole world's not PostScript... :)

       %-----START POSTSCRIPT DRAFT PAGE-----
       gsave

       /font /Helvetica-Bold def
       /pointsize 72 def
       /text (DRAFT) def

       /center {dup stringwidth pop
       2 div neg 0 rmoveto} def
       306 396 moveto

       %-----END POSTSCRIPT DRAFT PAGE-----
