[comp.lang.postscript] Postscript questions from a novice

mjw@sppy00.UUCP (Marty Withrow) (03/31/89)

We are just beginning to explore the world of Postscript and have a
few questions.

we have a MacSE20 with LaserWriter II NT.

1) Once a Postscript program is written is there a compiler or interpreter 
   for the code or do you "print" the text file containing the code and the
   LaserWriter takes over?

   If there is a compile/interpreter step where can it be obtained and 
   what is the cost?

2) Is it possible to capture the image created by the source
   code and save the image as a PageMaker 3.0 file or Freehand or Illustrator
   file, in order to "proof" the image before it is printed? 


Please e-mail any responses. Thanks!!
