[comp.sys.mac.apps] UltraScript

kseah@cs.utexas.edu (Kenneth Cheng-Lim Seah) (08/27/90)

I'm planning to get one of these things for my Mac IIcx (8MB) and
DeskWriter.  So here are some questions...

1. Do I have to spool the output to a PostScript file before I can
print it?

2. How fast is the UltraScript interpreter on a IIcx and can it run in
the background.

3. What other fonts come with UltraScript Plus.

4. Can I have a sort of 'interactive' mode in which I enter PostScript
commands and get it previewed on the screen (like PostShow or
T-Script)?

Thanks all...

Has anyone heard about UltraScript?  I see an add for it in the September
issue of MacWeek? under the Dr Mac advertisement.  I called DrMac, and a
salesman said they didn't carry it anymore.  Maybe someone from QMS (author)
or someone else in the forum can answer a few questions.

1. Does this interpret PostScript documents (.ps format)?

2. If so, will it work on a Plus and DeskWriter?

I would appreciate any help on this.  I am familiar with GhostScript and
Freedom of Press already.  I need a cheaper alternative.
