AppleWriter users have been able to write Postscript for years - through
the good graces and hard work of Don Lancaster.  I can't find the
address at the moment..

I did recieve some stuff from him once, including a picture of a cartoon
cat ready to swing at bat - a picture done from AppleWriter with Don's
Postscript utilities.

For those who are too young to remember AppleWriter :-) it is a TEXT-ONLY
word processor - even so, I do seem to remember Don talking about viewing
HiRes graphics in an AppleWriter document.

For those who remember AppleWriter and scoff - I have a UseNet posting of
WPL stuff that'll make your head spin.... :-)
