I seem to remember a discussion a while back about PostScript converters but I never followed it at the time. However, I've just been given an assignment and the lecturer insists on everything being laser printed and I don't have one of those! What I want to be able to do is write the docs etc with 1st Word + on my ST, save the output in PostScript format, and then I can stick it on the laser here at Uni. I have had a few ideas like using barrel.prg and a PostScript printer driver, but I haven't looked closely to see whether either can do the job! Any other ideas would be appreciated, as I can't be bothered to learn nroff! Jas.

Well, there is a program that converts from regular 1st Word to PostScript at atari.archive called 1st2ps.arc (I think.) --------------- Eric A. HOBBS! eahsnsr@JUPITER.nmt.edu

It converts a 1st Word DOC into a postscript file which I save on a MSDOS formatted 3.5 and print at Uni. Works fine.
