From: sasaki@harvard.ARPA (Marty Sasaki) During the flurry of messages announcing/reviewing the Apple LaserWriter it was mentioned that someone was working on a Postscript processor for TeX. Does anyone have any more information about such a thing? Marty Sasaki (sasaki@harvard)

From: David Fuchs <DRF@SU-SCORE.ARPA> I know that Textset has a DVI->Postscript program running (see the new issue of TUGboat for a sample page). There may be other efforts that I'm not aware of yet. One mode of operation uses Adobe's Helvetica and Times for the text and Computer Modern for the math, with quite nice results. Pulling in whiz-bang Postscript graphics with TeX's "\special" command lets you mix text and graphics pretty freely. Very exciting. -david -------
