See and learn PostScript on Mac

Concord, MA -- A PostScript interpreter that runs on a Macintosh Plus, SE,
or II and displays output pages on the screen is now being delivered by
Lincoln & Co.  PostShow, as the software system is called, is totally self
contained and requires no printer or other hardware to operate.

   Like PS Tutor, the company's earlier IBM PC [boo hiss -cbc] product,
PostShow is intended for the graphics arts professional who works directly
with the PostScript language, as well as for the learner.  PostScript files
created by publishing and illustration software may be interpreted and viewed;
such files can also be created or modified using the system's built-in editor.
The interactive mode of PostScript is active and available so that commands
can be executed from the keyboard.

   Assisting the programmer are features such as an online reference manual
that describes all of PostScript's operators and error messages, pull-down
windows into the operand stack and graphics state, and a "zoom-and-pan"
function that permits any part of the page to be viewed, magnified, or
reduced.  PostShow incorporates the Macintosh user interface.

   PostShow produces hardcopy output on both PostScript and non-PostScript
printers.  On non-PostScript units, it prints PostScript pages at the screen
resolution of 72 dots per inch.  With PostScript printers, it transmits the
PostScript files for interpretation by the printer.

   An introductory price of $224.95 includes the 13 standard PostScript fonts,
similar in appearance and spacing to the Helvetica, Courier, and Times
families, and to Symbol.  An additional set of fonts, LWM22, is available for
$69.95 ($89.95 when purchased separately from PostShow), contains 22 additional
fonts that closely resemble those of more recent laser printers.

Software Sales, 45 Winthrop St., Concord MA 01742 USA, (508) 369-1441, Fax
