How much software has been written to drive non-Apple peripherals from the
MAC? Specifically, we have an x-y plotter, which is a Tektronix 4662, and
would like to know if there exists a Macintosh application to drive this
plotter. We are willing to spend money for this.

There are several major plotting programs for the Mac. Recently, MacWorld ran an article comparing several plotting packages in Oct 86 issue titled: "The Power behind the Plotter". None of the packages reviewed indicated any support for a Tektronix 4662 driver, but you might want to contact these vendors anyway to see if they have any suggestions (or may provide a driver to you upon request).

MacWorld magazine recently had a comparison of several programs that could send various types of drawings (usually MacDraw) to a plotter. I believe it was the August or September issue, there is a blurb on the front cover about it. Rick Fincher ranger@ecsvax
