Hope this isn't a FAQ: Can anyone direct me to a PD previewer for PostScript? I'm beginning to poke around with the language and would like to see the results on-screen. I've got a Macintosh environment (various machines), MS Word 4.0, Laserwriters. Thanks in advance for references to archives, digests, other references, etc. Steve Carol Executive Director, Information Technology Services Atlantic Community College Mays Landing, NJ 08330 609/343-4910 Carol@Pilot.NJIN.Net

It is a new update, and it features a screen previewer for postscript. It will display a B&W image and color using the standard 8 colors. It seems to work very well with MacDraw and UltraPaint. It is not the most speedy program, but it is surprisingly fast compared with older versions of Freedom Of The Press. -john- -- ============================================================================= John A.

Just to add: If you want to do Postscript -> PICT use FOP (any version) with the Quickdraw device Print2Pict (available from your favourite archive). Tony Cooper sramtrc@albert.dsir.govt.nz
