What is available out there in the line of postscript laser printing off the
Amiga ? What products are available and how do they interact with the
printer drivers in the amiga (if at all). If you know the answer to these and
many other unasked related questions, could you email answers to me here.
(I'll mail out summaries on request)
Thanks,

Post1.1 requires at least 1 meg and comes without fonts, so you'll have to look for fonts too. It displays EPS and Postscript files in black and white or color (e.g. color postscript files produced by PageStream 1.8 or PPage). It is also possible to convert EPS to IFF or print to any Preferences printer. I've spotted it on Radical Eye BBS: (415)-327-2346 (fonts are there too) --Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | /// Martin A.

Where can I find fonts for "Post"? Are they freely available? I just found Post 1.0 (xanth, incoming/amiga); should I hunt for 1.1 ? *** All pointers & info appreciated! *** ._.

Udo Schuermann > ( ) walrus@cscwam.umd.edu Post 1.0 is ok! The main difference between Post 1.0 and Post 1.1 is, that the interpreter is now located in a post.library you have to put into your libs: directory. Personally I don't like this... What should we do if every program had it's own library... Fonts can be found on BBS's (as posted earlier). There are plenty of PD fonts around. You can also transfer type 3 fonts (the ones in plain postscript code) from other computers esp. M*cs. Compugraphic and Bitstream fonts are in the popular Fontographer format and are well suited for use with Post. --Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | /// Martin A.
