I am surprised to the fact that there are so many TRs distributed in PostScript format. Also it seems to be a good strategy to edit graphics in Mac, then convert it into PostScript and attach it in a LaTeX document. It is too bad we don't have a PostScript printer. But we do have a LN03+. Is there any program to convert PostScript into LN03 format? If not, why? Kwok-hei Chan University of Maine

It allows printing of PostScript files on Digital Equipment Corporation's desktop graphics sixel printers. Color PostScript files can be printed in color on the LJ250 Companion Color Printer or with a color ribbon installed on the LA324 MultiPrinter. Color files will print in gray shades on black/white printers. The software uses a host-based PostScript interpreter to print PostScript files to Digital's sixel graphics desktop printers. The printer may be attached to a video terminal printer port or the output file can be directed to a shared printer print queue. The following printers are supported: o LJ250 Companion Color Printer o LA75 Companion Printer o LA324 MultiPrinter o LA210 Letterprinter o LN03 Plus Desktop Laser Printer - Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul H.
