I bought UltraScript PC and it works great.  It is very speedy and I hardly
notice any difference from the straight printer driver under WordPerfect.
It has a TSR feature.  I am using it with a 80386/33 and 8 Megs so that helps
quite a bit.  I also have used it under Win 3.0 and CorelDraw with acceptable
performance.  CompuAdd has it for around $140 and if you buy the extended 
version, then you get all 35 "standard" postscript fonts.  I would highly
recommend this combination.  Its not the fastest but it certainly is one of the
most affordable.
