Okay, I've finally searched through the hardcopy documentation that came with my Slab and found it. It's in the Here's how to set up your computer and get up to speed. book on page 54. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NeXT Software License Agreement (Release 2.0) 6. PRINTING BITMAPS You agree not to use the NeXT Softare to output bitmaps generated by the PostScript interpreter included with the NeXT Software at a resolution greater than 900 dots per inch. You are free, however, to transmit PostScript language files created with the NeXT Software to an output device containing its own PostScript language interpreter for output at any resolution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I find it interesting that it doesn't distinguish between NeXT output devices and third party output devices. Can somone post the apropriate portion of the 1.0 license? -- Doug DeJulio ddj@zardoz.club.cc.cmu.edu
