Hi folks!
Some PostScript-generating applications (e.g. DesignStudio) can't
be stopped to use the so called "AppleDict" md in the resulting
eps-file. According to my own investigations, this makes only
sense in the context of an Apple LaserWriter. Our own ps-interpreter
becomes extremly unhappy about this.
So I would be very grateful, if somebody could answer some of the
following questions:
-What is the use of the 'md'-dictonary?
(I guess it is about some status - and pagesize - stuff)
-What operators and objects do the AppleDict include?
-Is there any real or dummy AppleDict available, that can be
downloaded to a ps-device?
Thanks and so long, Alex
