[comp.lang.postscript] PostScript Level 2

liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk (William Roberts;) (02/26/91)

I have been asked to find out the following:

1) Is PostScript Level 2 available yet, or are dates available for its   
   scheduled release?
2) Will there be an upgrade to TranScript to support PostScript Level 2?
3) Will the promised MacOS and PC drivers be available on the Adobe
   info server?

Thanks.

1. We are working with our OEMs on a number of Level 1 and Level 2 products.
You should expect to see the first Level 2 products mid-1991. Specific product
delivery dates and specifications will be announced by our OEMs, as always.

2. Yes, we are working on an upgrade to TranScript to support PostScript
Level 2. We cannot announce any specific availability dates at this time.

3. The Macintosh and Windows 3.0 drivers will not be available on the Adobe
information server. They will be bundled with Level 2 printers, various
software applications, and available as a retail product at a very reasonable
price.
