     Guess again.  Check out the last three proceedings from the International
Conference on Parallel Processing.  Any paper with my name on it was produced,
camera-ready, from our 300 dpi LaserWriter.  Still not satisfied?
Find a copy of IEEE Micro, December 1987.  Look at "Effective Implementation
of a Parallel Language on a Multiprocessor".  Every figure, and all the
indented code in Courier and Courier Bold, was shot straight from our 300 dpi
originals.  The publisher couldn't set the text to match our indenting, and
the original copy, and all the figures, were deemed more than acceptable by
their production department.

     The point is moot anyway, since if we had a Lino, I'd be pulling 1200
or 2450 dpi camera-ready copy out of the printer.  Although the printing time 
would be longer, the production time is unchanged, and that was point of my
posting.
