BUT you may be able to talk your co-workers into upgrading to LW 6.1, the
version that was distributed with TrueType (and may be found on apple.com,
if it hasn't already been moved to ftp.apple.com).  I run it on my Mac Plus
along with system 6.0.5.  There is no LaserWriter Prep file.

Is this LW distributed with the personal-7.0 upgrade?  It seems to me a lot
of people are going to have this same problem...

Anyway, LW 6.1 can share LW's with 7.0 machines, and no laser-prep wars.
