There are two commented version of VERY old LaserPrep files on the BMUG CD. I have versions of 5.2 (68) and 6.0 (70) that I manually edited to work with non-Apple printers and Apple printers on non-localtalk connections that I did some commenting on as a sideline, but the comments are only as good as my reverse engineering (and a lot of the comments end in question marks...) Ed Moy out at Berkeley sources a package called MacPS that contains two programs. The first one is given a command-k file, run once, and produces a modified file. The second one is designed to be a unix print queue filter and inserts the appropriate version of the modified file on the fly. If your interest is just turnkey this might be your best bet. MacPS is on deposit in the sumex archive. There is supposedly a "non-apple-laser-prep" file on deposit at sumex but I haven't checked it to see if it has been commented. -- Ben Cranston <zben@umd2.umd.edu> A determined iconoclast, it would be better to assume the opinion expressed above is the diametric OPPOSITE to that of the Warm and Fuzzy Network Group of Egregious State University...
