Yes, I think.  An example: I have a blank invoice form in postscript format,
and an ascii file with 40 pages of invoices.  I want to fax these 40
invoices to a single destination, and so I convert the 40 page ascii file to
a 40 page postscript file, "watermarking" each page with the blank form, in
essence "overlaying" the data onto 40 blank forms.
