It works with any QuickDraw printer, including the stylewriter.

Quite slow. Printing with FOPL is about twice as slow as normally on a Mac II.

>	Does it work with TrueType?

It doesn't know about TrueType, but it doesn't cause any problems either.

>	Does it work with PageMaker 4.0?

Unknown.

No, you can't. You can write a postscript program and then run the file
through FOPL to view it on your screen, but you can't view the stack or
debug PS programs.

FOPL emulates a laserwriter pretty well, but you can't use the latest
LaserWriter driver with it.
