You must have version 3.2 of system with the current chooser, LaserWriter driver and Laser Prep files. Appletalk must be activated thru the control panel even though you don't need a LaserWriter connected to the Mac. Then use Chooser to select the laserwriter icon; if you are not using the current version it will complain if you don't have a LaserWriter. Enter SuperPaint and prepare your document. Choose Print. A window will appear asking you to select how many copies and press either OK or CANCEL. Make the appropriate selections but don't click OK. Hold down either cloverleaf F or cloverleaf K -- F just dumps the postscript commands; K dumps the header prep and then dumps the postscript commands. While holding down the key (the Mac is now beeping) click OK or press return. The postscript commands will appear in an MDS Edit text file entitled Postscript. The above is identical to the procedure with MacDraw. -- David Whiteman, University of California, San Diego The America's Cup, don't leave Perth without it.
