Ah right, yes.  *FX142 with VTOPS prints "View to PS Converter" and then
locks up.  Presumably that means it's not actually a language, and I
guess that'd make sense if it's some kind of add-on to View.  (The same
set of ROM boards did come with an untold number of View ROMs so I
suppose I could have guessed that.)  I wonder how it's meant to be used.
