[comp.sys.mac] RSG3 vs. LaserPrep 3.3

chuq%plaid@Sun.COM (Chuq Von Rospach) (05/08/87)

Just to keep folks up to date.  I upgraded to the new Laserwriter and 
LaserPrep tonight (both 4.0, both available on Delphi) and tried postscript
blocks on Ready Set Go! 3.0.  They work, which implies that whatever is
broken was broken in LaserPrep 3.3.  The upshot:  either downgrade to
LaserPrep 3.2 or grab a copy of 4.0, but you probably don't want to use 3.3.

Oh, 4.0 looks noticably faster.  so far, so good!

I have been puzzled by Chuq's report of the mismatch between RSG &
LaserPRep 3.3.  I don't for a moment doubt that everything he has
reported is accurate, but there must be at least one more variable
involved in the mismatch.  

One of my graduate students has been using the November release of
RSG3.0 on my system (I let him use my LaserWriter so I don't have to
read Imagewriter output), and my LaserPrep identifies itself as v 3.3.
We did every example in the cookbook over the Xmas break, and got all
the expected output.

So, as I said, at least one other thing must be involved, and it looks
to me like it must be hardware related, since we seem to be running the
same software.
