I have a Postscript Document, (output from DECwrite), and wish to print it on an Apple Laserwriter attached to a Macintosh SE. The connection between the Vax(VMS) and the Mac is a serial line. I can use kermit and Mac240 to get the Postscript Document over to the MAC. but I can's seem to print it. It want's an application to do the print function. If I import it into Macwrite to print it - it prints the PS program rather than executing it!, Is there not some way to just "drop" the file" on the printer???? -perplexed

That's a handy Mac application which dumps PostScript to your favorite printer as native PostScript. I got my copy via anonymous FTP from the sumex-aim.stanford.edu archive. It was somewhere under the /info-mac directory. If you don't have access to FTP, Adobe will send you a disk with the program on it. Call (415) 961-4111 and ask about the "Tools Diskette for Macintosh". There may be other non-Internet sources that I'm unaware of.
