I would just like to take this chance to commend Dr. M. Mahoney of Cal State @ Long Beach for his extremely helpful Interface Builder tutorial. The only problem was the size - it was a little over seven megs of post script when uncompressed - this took a little over four hours printing from a Mac II -> Laswriter IInt using SendPS - an agonizingly long experience. If any local Tucson users would like to save time and mind, you can take my copy to an Alphagraphics or whatever. Once again - kudos to Dr Mahoney, amazingly helpful. Loki (mldemsey@caslon.cs.arizona.edu) .. its 100, but a dry heat ... (its available at nova.cc.purdue.edu)

Although I agree with the purchase of the NeXT (I have one also), the problem with the Macintosh printing is not the Macintosh (at least in this case). Since those files (the IB_TUTORIAL) are already imaged into postscript, the limiting factors are that of the LocalTalk connection and the processor in the printer. --- Matthew Huff

My posting was only stating the advantage a NeXT with a NeXT Laser Printer offered. The time it would take a NeXT to print the same document on a LaserWriter IINT would probably be comparable to that of the Mac (or any other system), depending on the communication medium!

I just displayed the same file using Preview on my '040 cube at home and it took about 5 seconds. I think NeXT should rename their computers the CBK - the Crap Box Killer(tm). :-) Varun -- You are young, they are old Control is all they've got to give Just live how you want to live Tiny things that make you slave Like a chain, an anchor to the bed of the sea

OK, OK, OK! We all love our NeXTs and our NeXT printers, and they are really fast compared to Laserwriters. Now that that's out of the way, let me ask a question: Where is this IB Tutorial? I missed its release. Thanks, MikeC -- --------------------------------------------------------- Michael D.
