Re: scs2ascii is broken?

Ah, this is a mistake made when the common functions were moved into
scs.c.  I looked at the patch you made.  I wonder if scs_transparent()
should just fprintf to a passed outfile, rather than stderr?

I suppose the answer to that question lies in the answer to this one:
what is transparent?  Are transparent codes strictly printer codes that
scs2ps and scs2pdf should be ignoring?  And if so why shouldn't scs2ascii
ignore them also?
