You mean POST interprets PostScript into a form where it can be printed on any Amiga compatible printer? I thought it was more of a printer driver for Postscript printers. Nope! It's more than that. It interprets postscript code to Iff-file, into your screen, your dot-matrix printer or any other printer. I just uploaded Post1.5 today and It's fine piece of software. Also if you want to learn programming Postscript, you should consider getting Post. ==================================================================== David Masterson Consilium, Inc.
