[comp.text] Sane Postscript from MacDraw

alecd@extro.ucc.su.oz (Alec Dunn) (11/15/88)

I have a program, Postscript from Mac, which produces a well-behaved
Postscript file from a MacDraw document.  By well-behaved I mean
it doesn't take charge of the printer, shuffle fonts, download
68000 executable code, etc as the file produced by command-K does.

The program runs on the Mac.  The resulting Postscript file should
be easy to merge in with other systems -- we use it to merge drawings
into LaTeX documents in VMS and PC versions of TeX.  The program is
almost entirely resource-driven, so you can tailor the Postscript
code produced.  It comes with documentation in MacWrite, and some
example files.  Source is not included.

At present it only works with the old MacDraw (v1.9.5 from memory).
I will be upgrading it to MacDraw II, but can't promise any date
on that.

If I had some software that could mail a Mac file structure I'd
use that, but until then it will cost you $10 (cash please, no
paperwork) to cover mailing costs.
