I am in the market for a new workstation and I'm looking at the SGI line...

I've hacked away on a few systems and they seem very nice, but I have three
little questions:

1.	Is it possible to use and access AppleTalk LaserWriters (which are
	PostScript devices) with SGI? If so, what hardware and software is
	required?

2.	None of the systems I were on had the Korn shell (ksh)... is it
	available?

3.	Finally, is there a FORTRAN-compiler available that supports VAX/
	VMS FORTRAN extensions?


E-mail responses are just dandy   (128.183.44.1)

Thanks in advance!
