Subject: re: IDEA! a text formatter in PostScript

There is a product for the Macintosh, called JustText, which is
approximately a text formatter using PostScript directly.  It is
intended for typesetting applications where professionals want more
precise control than you get with applications like PageMaker or
ReadySetGo.  I have used the program a lot as an interactive PostScript
downloader and debugging environment with the LaserWriter Plus from a
Mac, but I've never tried to use it for its intended purpose, and don't
know how satisfactory it is for that.  The vendor is Knowledge
Engineering, (212)473-0095, and locally it sells for $156, list $195.  I
expect to move my PostScript debugging over to LaserTalk, as that is a
more comprehensive debugging environment, showing stacks etc as well as
actual bits produced.  I've used it some already, seems to work pretty
well.
