Ported??  :-)

Could be. Try using ChunkIt on the PS file at the mac end.  I would also
suggest using the DMM to build a new Mac driver, as DMM's dictionary
tends to be more compatable. (Both should be available from the usual
archive sites) Also remember that, in general, mac files take a lot longer
to print (presumably because the RIP has to chew through all of the
deep majic PS code in the apple dict).

The macify program will convert both ways as well as do lots of other
misc housekeeping chores. The source is available in sumex-aim.stanford.edu's
unix directory. On the mac end, Apple File Exchange will do the trick
(as will Stuffit, but since AFE is free with the system software...).
