Hello,
Could someone tell me how I would take
a MacWrite file or any other application
file for that matter and convert it into a
postscript file that I can upload to my vax
account and print on an adobe postcript laser
printer?
Thank You,

Very easy: MacWrite (or any other application) to print the file. Tell the print dialog OK, and immediately type (and hold!) Command F. Instead of actually printing the document, the LaserWriter driver will write it to a file (that it calls postscript, as I recall.) If you type Command C instead of Command F, the LaserPrep header (30K or so) will not be stuck at the beginning of the file. -- Denis Lynch ESL Incorporated decwrl!borealis!\ ARPA: dml%esl.ESL.COM@ames.arc.nasa.gov ucbcad!ucbvax!- ames!- esl!dml SMAIL: dml@esl.ESL.COM lll-lcc!/
