I have just installed a 40MB hard drive onto our LaserWriter II NTX and
I would like to have a copy of all the names of the fonts along with a
short sentence showing what the font looks like. There is a program that
will do this type of thing (that came along with the printer) but it
doesn't recognize the hard drive.
I understand postscript code but I don't know how to access the hard drive.

Does anyone know of some sample code that would solve this problem? or even
an existing postscript file that all ready does this.

Thanks in advance, Andrew Hunt (a-hunt2@uiuc.edu)
