Hello All

Hmm...almost as quickly as people responded to my questions, people
responded to my thank you note, complaining that I was hoarding information.
To those people, I'm sorry....I thought the messages were also posted on
the board for all the world to see, hear, and enjoy. Anyway, here is
what I found out:


You want visual PostScript?
You got it. In the form of GhostScript. GhostScript apparently can
be FTP'ed from prep.purdue.edu in the /pub directory. Apparently, (I
have not FTP'ed it yet so I cannot confirm) it is available in Unix, 
as well as MS-DOS. I do not know how fast it is (Can somebody out there
tell me what it's like on a 286 machine w/VGA?) but I'm sure on a Vax
it's a screamer.

Fonts? 

You got it. This FTP site has always been a favorite, but I did not
know they carried PS fonts. 

cica.cica.indiana.edu in the pub/win3/fonts directory has 'em.

Posters?
I hope everybody got the idea that I was asking for a program that
printed things in the tens of thousands of points. I recieved a 
program from one person and many references to the Blue Book from
others. (I will post the program contributor's name later...I can't
get to it right now...) I haven't compiled the program yet, but
it does in fact look very promising. I will tell you of my results,
.

To be honest, I thought something would happen if I posted a thank
you note, so I hope I have done something to make amends here...
