After installing 7.0, I find that I'm experiencing laser wars. I thought that Apple had previously stated that future versions of laserprep wouldn't cause this. (Don't ask me where I heard this!). Anyway, I'm running the 7.0 beta -- and the company is using the 5.2 prep file. I tried to use the old laserwriter driver with 7.0 -- no dice. The file 'Laser Prep' doesn't seem to be in the 7.0 distribution -- I ass-u-me that it is now part of the driver file. Does anyone know how to hot-wire this thing? Bruce Beare bjb@pyramid

Get everyone else to upgrade to LW 6.1 (the TrueType version) -- Matthew T. Russotto russotto@eng.umd.edu russotto@wam.umd.edu .sig under construction, like the rest of this campus.

Thanks to all. Apparently the 'solution' to this is to have all of the non system-7 users upgrade their laserwrite/laserprep files to the ones that came with the stylewriter/truetype disks. -Bruce

Once everyone is up to the new drivers, there will be no more prep wars. -- Chuq Von Rospach >=< chuq@apple.com >=< GEnie: CHUQ >=< AppleLink: CHUQ SFWA Nebula Awards Reports Editor =+= Editor, OtherRealms Book Reviewer, Amazing Stories ---@--- #include <standard/disclaimer.h> Recommended reading: GOBLIN MOON by Teresa Edgerton; BONE DANCE by Emma Bull; BLIND JUSTICE by S.N.
