Just wondering if anyone has any positive or negative comments wrt
using a Laser Printer on a 3B1. As far as I know, Smart is the only
word processor that supports laser printers. Does anyone know of
others?
(I'm not counting the troff packages available. Troff would be a bit
much for the office personnel.)
Thanks...

Does anyone know of others? CrystalWriter Plus will support a Laserprinter on a 3b1. Alas, the company has stopped porting its upgrades to the 3b1, so the version of the wordprocessor out there is not all that great. Company that produces it is Syntactics, based in CA. -- --------------------- John Mundt Teachers' Aide, Inc. P.O.

I don't have a printer, yet, because I saw no need to get one when I couldn't do papers on my machine, but a word processor...? >Thanks... >-- > Jim Gottlieb > E-Mail: <jimmy@denwa.uucp> or <jimmy@pic.ucla.edu> or <attmail!denwa!jimmy> > V-Mail: (213) 551-7702 Fax: 478-3060 The-Real-Me: 824-5454 Please please please, anyone send me some info... - sparkie -- p.s.

Our office staff (secretaries, administrative assistants, and faculty) have been using troff for years, including grap, pic, etc. They have no complaints, and like the ability to easily interface to data generated by other programs. My 10 year old son uses troff to type his book reports, with the -mm macro package. Took about 15 minutes of instruction to get him going with the basics. (He likes emacs for entering text, too). All it takes is for your office personnel to have just a *little* bit of incentive. Give them a little bit of credit. -- Steven A.
