Well, on the Mac there's:

LaserTalk, which is _still_ in 1.0 release after all these years, can do 
any laserwriter that's hooked up via the printer port (ie: 
appletalk-able). It only supports level 1, tho.

Also, you can grab T-Script basic (or Lite), which I think still has an 
executive window with a nice quick previewer (executive window means that 
there's a console directly into TScript, like the executive mode in an 
normal laserwriter).
