Where did you find that?  In the following book?

@book{AdobeSystems:1999,
  author = {Adobe Systems},
  title = {{PostScript} language reference},
  edition = {3rd},
  publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
  year = 1999,
  address = {Reading, MA},
  comment = {The language definition.  LZWEncode, FlateEncode, DCTEncode,
    RunLengthEncode, CCITTFaxEncodeRilter.},
  callno = {QA76.73 P67 P67 1999},
  location = {Wendt} }

In any case, that is the answer I'm looking for.  Thanks.
