Anybody have any information or experience with this? Only second hand. A colleague used it recently to provide a route between Postscript and a general purpose raster image format. He was favourably impressed, and, I think found only one relatively obscure Postscript feature that it didn't cope with. (Sorry can't remember what). I would be a bit wary though, the promotional literature was out of step with the product we received (v1.something), and was obviously in a state of flux. It accepts Postscript input and sends bit image data directly to an output port, i.e. it uses the bit-image graphics facilities of the printer, whatever other features the printer may have. (My colleague had to use a utility to intercept the port output so that he could reformat it as required). -- ------------------- or <...!mcvax!ukc!idec!camcon!mrh> | Mark Hughes | Tel: +44 (0) 223 420024 Cambridge Consultants Ltd. |(Compware .
