I would like to find a translation program that would take a Postscript program and produce a file that would print on a LaserJet IIx. Is this a just a dream? I have written the Postscript code to produce a form but would also like to be able to print the form on LaserJets (without an emulation cartridge). Any comments are appreciated. The Klaw.

Ultrascript, a commercial program from Imagen, is a PostScript interpreter that runs on a variety of computers and comes with output drivers for a number of relatively dumb printers. A similar program is Freedom of the Press. Perhaps GhostScript can do the same thing. Could someone comment on the capabilities of GhostScript? Is it worth porting the MS-DOS version to the Atari ST? ---- Steve Yelvington / P. O.
