in the file.
For a file in a data syntax to be translated to PostScript, the script must contain a case branch which recognizes the data type string and
calls a suitable filter. The supplied recognizes the ANSI, ASCII, ReGIS and Tektronix 4014 data types.

echo "( 04) cvn {} def"
exec ln03rof -w$width -l$length -i$indent;;
