I posted this earlier, but it didn't seem to make it to the net. Anyway...
I need to get MacDraw or MacDrawII to dump PostScript files so I can
include them in TeX files on a Unix host. I know that command-F and
command-K are supposed to work---HOWEVER, our Macs are networked
together and use a fileserver and common spooler for the laserwriter,
and that somehow screws up command-F/K. I get a message saying
something like "printing could not be completed."
Is there any program, either for the Mac or for Unix, that can take a
file that contains a MacDraw/MacDraw II document and spit out the
PostScript? This would save me a huge amount of time either
cutting-and-pasting or tracking down a Mac that I *can* get PostScript from.
Thanks.
Roy

I get a message saying >something like "printing could not be completed." The cmd-F (yea, I know you don't need the "cmd") works even if you're not connected to a real network. I have made some PS-files on my Mac at home in this way. Use an "initiated" Startupdisk with AppleTalk and LW-files, just set AppleTalk to active in the Chooser dialog box. By "initiated" I mean "been used for printing in a network before". My suggestion is: get a StartUp disk that supports the PS-interception (F or K). Disconnect your Mac from the network, domenu "Print", click "OK" and type "cmd-F _before_ the Mac starts to "Looking for laserwriter NN". I hope it helps. /Olle
