	I've never used any of the Mac PostScript preview programs so I
can't say I'm 100% sure if they will run on the Spectre 128.  The odds
are that they will run with no problems.  The *only* problem I know of
with the Spectre and PostScript is that you can't use an Apple
LaserWriter, all the drivers expect an AppleTalk port that the ST
doesn't have.  Several possible solutions are being checked into but I
won't even guess if they will work or not.

	If your interested in using a single program you might try
asking Dave if he knows if it runs or not.  He has a lot of Mac software
and he also gets reports from all the users.  You can reach him at
hplabs!well!dsmall.  He usually gets on there about once or twice a
week.  As an alternative you can send me an email asking about a specfic
programs, as long as the volume of requests is reasonably small I'm
willing to answer questions.  I may not be any faster than emailing Dave
directly though.
