(Please relay this to Comp.sys.cbm if you find it useful. I don't have access to posting software.) Scott, A better solution might be geoWrite -> PostScript -> Mac. A recent development, PS.Patch, makes this practical and convenient. PS.Patch patches geoLaser and geoPublaser so that they will create PostScript files on disk rather than transmit them out the user port. geoLaser is available on Writers' Workshop. PS.Patch can be found on QLink, and probably other BBSs which support GEOS. Once you've generated a PostScript file, it's a simple process to upload it to a MacIntosh as an ASCII file. It can be laser printed from the Mac using the public domain SendPS utility. The advantage to this method is that there is no need to reformat your documents on the Mac. If you created them with the GEOS LW_ fonts, they will print at full 300 dpi resolution on the laser printer. ******************************************************************************* * Randy Winchester * randy@athena.mit.edu * PO Box 1074, Cambridge, MA 02142 * ******************************************************************************* * "It looks ok on the screen, but everything comes out in lower case on the * * printer.
