[comp.lang.postscript] PS-preview for Mac

f85-bli@byse.nada.kth.se (Bengt Lidgard) (01/31/91)

Hi, some of us have been looking for a PS previewer for the Macintosh.
The latest thing I heard is that a program called "LaserTalk" sends a PS file 
to the printer which interprets it and sends back something that is
QuickDrawed on the screen. Sounds pretty smart...

Does anyone know if this really works ????!!!!
Where can I get hold of it ?

	Works great! Although it does preview PS, it is really
intended as an interactive PS development environment. An excellent
debugging aid.

	It's published by Adobe. Most Mac software dealers carry it, e.g.
ComputerWare $185 (800)326-0092
