Or >even, (help!) is there an easier way? Professional Page outputs beautiful PostScript. I've written several papers and reports using PPage 1.3 on my A2000. I generate a PostScript output file, copy it to a MSDOS disk using MSH, upload it to a SparcStation here on campus and print it out on the local networked Apple Laserwriter. Works great everytime. Since MSH apparently doesn't work too well under 2.0 (haven't tried writing MSDOS files yet on my A3000-25), you'd probably want to buy the commercial CrossDOS (~$35) that does the same thing and does work under 2.0. A better way is to connect the LaserWriters directly to your A3000's. I think there is a 3rd-party AppleTalk card as well. Yet another way is to buy Mac2Dos with a Macintosh external drive and copy the PostScript file to a Macintosh floppy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The DiskDoctor threatens the crew!
