I was introduced to this network about six months ago.  At first I
wasn't sure it was worth the time it took to figure it out.  Then I
came across a posting of the program "macps."  It was prepared by
the folks at Berkley to allow printing Mac postscript files on any
UNIX mainframe with postscript printers.  It allows you to store 
the LaserPrep file on your UNIX machine and merge it with any Mac
documents you download.  "macps" comes in a script file that generates
"macps", another program that you need to process the LaserPrep 
file, outstanding instructions for setting-up your system, and 
even manual pages so others can get info on running "macps."

I have set up the program here at AFIT.  I prepared a WORD file
which explains how to "print-to-disk" and how to transfer the 
resulting files (some of our folks have never transferred files).
Now almost everyone who owns a Mac uses the program (often).  
It's like having your own LaserWriter.  I know this is a bold 
claim; however, I believe "macps" will answer everyones "How do 
I print a mac postscript file on a UNIX printer" question.

I believe macps is posted at sumex.  I know it's somewhere at Berkley.
If you can't find it, send me some e-mail and I'll send it to you.
