I missed the original posting of this query, but I have been using Publishing Partner from the time of the original release to generate Postscript output. It does a nice job, and I've written several papers with it. You can get a special font disk that supports all of the LaserWriter Plus fonts, and Don Rice has distributed PD versions of the Times and Symbol fonts through this group. Unfortunately the new versions of PP are flaky, but I'm still using PP 1.03 and am pretty satisfied with it. Plus it is cheap -- now going for $75 Cdn. in the local store, less by mail order. -- Bill Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division.

I'm still using PP also, V1.5 of Page Stream still is too flakey for me.
