Well, that's disappointing. It *ought* to work.
I'm at a loss to guess what might have gone wrong.
It doesn't *have* to be star. Do other punctuation
symbols cause you trouble as names?

If you post a dump of the dictionary, it might give us more
information.

I seem to have hit a dead end with this, but I think I've got some
interesting failures.

I started by trying to stuff more logic into the interpreter itself,
by rewriting the prototype to create and use a derived font.

/q{0 0 moveto 1 0 lineto 1 1 lineto 0 1 lineto closepath}def
/X<</FontType 3/FontBBox[0 0 1 1]/FontMatrix[1 0 0 1 0 0]

.001 setlinewidth
q stroke
dup 35 eq { pop

/Times-Roman 8 selectfont

}ifelse pop}
>>definefont pop /X 30 selectfont
40 700 moveto {
currentfile 2{dup token pop exch}repeat pop pop
{
currentfile =string readline{
dup length 0 ne{

}loop
/Times-Roman 8 selectfont

40 700 moveto

1 sub 30 mul 2 add exch
1 sub -30 mul 22 add rmoveto
( )cvs show
}{clear}ifelse
}{clear exit}ifelse
}loop showpage
}exec

Then I created a "Lexicon", an array of all the needed tokens
packed as tightly as I could manage while still assigning ascii
codes with *some* mnemonic value (I tried it without attention
to mnemonics and it was a real mess). And encoded each line
as a string.

But it seems the overhead of constructing/decoding plus the massive
increase of distinct tokens means this packs up even larger than
my first version with no special trickery! This one's 911 chars,
the early one was 905.

But I think these techniques could be useful if the program itself
had more to do. Compression *ought* to make things smaller under
the right circumstances.

Appendix. Here's the data file for running these. Just append it to
the program and ghostscript will show you the NYT Crossword No. 1105.

Oh, no. *In* the golf.ps file, just after 'begin'.
I don't really have high hopes of figuring this out remotely,
but seeing what's actually in the dictionary would be the
first step.

My only guess at the moment is that somehow a space character
crept in between the slash and the star, and that it's the
first star that's being executed. If so, then adding the
dictionary dump will trigger the same undefined error as
before. Otherwise, at least we can see what *is* in there.

The text box for the alert doesn't offer a scroll bar, so it had a
lot of text I didn't see before. I think I copied it all this time.

This is just the contents of userdict.
Not what we needed, but no harm done.

I think it's enough.
