No.  While it *IS* the end-of-file character for serial communications used by
most PostScript printers, the PostScript remains mute on the matter of how a
file is to be terminated.  In general, a control-D is irrelevant for network
transfers.

understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my

hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
