Hi, I have some questions:
* I just saw a letter on Info-Apple regarding transferring Postscript
files created from AppleWorks GS to Mac... but HOW do I create a
Postscript file using AppleWorks GS? I owned AppleWorks GS v1.1 -
after reading the manuals for 3 times, I am still not able to find
that piece of information.
* Besides Publish It! 3, is there other programs that can print to
Postscript? I need the information - because I need to use the laser
printer, and do not wish to substitute my beloved GS with Mac.
Thanks for any information.

But then on the boot disk you are using, RENAME the laserwriter driver to something else. I do not remember why this step is needed, but I seem to remember it's needed... maybe because AppleTalk is inactive if you're not actually connected to a printer??? From then on I forget.. After you tell it to print, and a dialog comes up (i.e. the short, wide "printing" dialog), there's an openapple- or option- key combination that writes out a PostScript file to your disk in some certain directory.. the System directory possibly.. it isn't the root dir though. >* Besides Publish It! 3, is there other programs that can print to > Postscript?

ANY GS specific program that uses the standard drivers (supports the AppleTalk-connected printer selection from the Control Panel DA) will be able to print to a laserwriter.... At least that's the THEORY. there are probably exceptions. -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! unknown@cats.ucsc.edu\ |WANT to help get ULTIMA VI //e or GS written?-mail me.
