I tried to send this via email, but nobody seems to know how to get to the Soviet Union, so I'll post. Dmitry didn't specify what computer, but there is one Postscript interpreter on the Amiga. It is called POST, and is currently at version 1.1 (I have 0.2, 1.0 and 1.1). It needs 1M of RAM, preferably more. It is extremely nice, and includes source. The latest version, 1.1, intergrates the interpretor into an AmigaOS library, making it a part of the OS. It works to printer, screen or file. You can FTP it from NASA (abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov, 128.155.23.64 in incoming/amiga/post11.lzh) or from here (mqccsuna.mqcc.mq.oz.au, 137.111.161.1 in amiga/misc/DTP/post11.lzh). It is 198559 bytes long in it's lharc'ed form (ie. make sure that you have LHARC if you pull it up! You'll also need some Type 3 fonts, but these are also obtainable from many sources, including abcdf20 and (soon) mqccsuna. I'd post it myself, but I think that this would irritate a few people in this group. However, if enough people say yes and very few say no... -- Ian Farquhar Phone : 61 2 805-7420 Office of Computing Services Fax : 61 2 805-7433 Macquarie University NSW 2109 Also : 61 2 805-7205 Australia EMail : ifarqhar@macuni.mqcc.mq.oz.au
