Which is the best laser printer setting to use to get true encapsulated postscript, or is there a driver for encapsulated postscript? Using a driver for a DEC printserver, I can print, but the file isn't encapsulated so I can't import it to Word Perfect. Thanks. Also, what's a good graphics package that deals with graphics as objects and not paint? Like Power Point, but more on the line of xvtdraw. I'd use xvtdraw except on large pictures it says something like Out of memory: you lose, and exits without saving my picture. Also Also, what is ATM? Thanks much, Chuck

It is not clear to me that a PostScript printer file generated by a software application such as Ventura or WfW can be re-imported by a word processor; I am experimenting with this myself. Eventhough the files are called 'EPS' by the various generating programs, they don't seem to be in the form that importing software expects them to be. I am quite confused about this. I have a *huge* need to be able to import such files, and am very anxious to learn how to do it. >Also Also, what is ATM? Adobe Typeface Manager. This program scans the printer drivers, and generates on-the-fly WYSIWYG screen fonts. tom

When I convert a graphix file to EPS via Graphics Workshop, I can have the program create the header. Unfortunately, I have yet to be able to print an EPS file generated by GWS to a DEC Printserver 40. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Santanu Sircar BITNET: ssircar@umaecs.bitnet | | University of Massachusetts/Amherst INTERNET: ssircar@ecs.umass.edu | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
