I have successfully made modifications to three versions of the LaserPrep
dictionary so that it will print on non-Apple laserwriters (including LPS40 
and LN03R). The three versions are:


LaserPrep_40.pro:  {appledict version #40
LaserPrep_60.pro:  {appledict version #65 1  
LaserPrep_68.pro:  {appledict version #68 0


You can find copies of them in the anonymous account (password anything and
