Just because it's used "all over the world" doesn't mean it's not kludgy
and obsolescent. (I can see it now: Apple, why didn't you supply Cobol on
my A/UX distribution? It's used all over the world and working fine in its
original, recent form.)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(interesting concept in itself)

Also, it doesn't work fine on some very important configurations. Namely,
Adobe Transcript to a LaserWriter. We've spent the last two years telling
people not to use -ms macros, use -me instead (after 20 or 30 laser pages
get wasted)
