Does anyone know of a program that works on a Mac that can interpret Postscript commands and draw them on the screen. I have one that outputs to a printer but I have to pay by the sheet, so I'd rather see it on the screen first. Thanks in advance.

LaserTalk by Emerald City Software has a display window that shows approximate output of postscript commands. It also has several other nice features. I got a copy through MacConnection for about $150.00.

It works by connecting directly with the LaserPrinter and using it to send back image information that it then plots on the Mac screen. The program is great for PostScript development. This is from my personal use of the product. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Bezanson bezanson@adobe.com Adobe Systems Incorporated AppleLink: D0124 Mountain View, CA CI$: 76701,150 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Standard Disclaimers Apply (i.e. my employer doesn't know I'm on here, these words are mine only, no company endorsement, etc...)

Please post responses to the net, as I am sure that there are a lot of us who would be interested in something that does this.... Thanx Keith uunet!rob!elliston
