Message-ID: Date: 8 Jun 89 13:00:49 GMT Sender: news@doc.ic.ac.uk Distribution: comp Organization: DoC, Imperial College, London SW7, UK. Lines: 36 Hello there... I recently posted to this group asking about postscript converters for the ST. Due to end of year exams (that have at last finished!) I was unable (time-wise) to post/mail replies to all those who requested followup info. I also can't post internationally so for those of you in the States and all the others I will summarize here and now. Basically all the replies I received with info on the subject talked about a program called 1wd2ps (or, I think this is the same program.) 1stwd2ps Apparently this can be obtained from PD libraries etc. It converts 1st word format file to postscript. Someone posted a copy to me (thanks beau :-). I have yet to get it to ST floppy (tomorrows task!) and try it. The other solution was to use something like TimeWorks DTP, but I think (if I caught the gist of the discussion correctly) it will only produce postscript with the aid of a harddisk. It also costs money!-). That's all for now... Thanks to all of you who mailed/posted replies, they were most helpful.
