Don Lancaster's columns are overrated.  He finds odd tidbits and then prints
things that imply he knows more about what's going on.  He hasn't said
anything about what FlxProc does, or coloring procedures, or anything more
interesting than various hacks to get character bitmaps back to his Apple
II.  He seems mainly interested in ways to treat a LaserWriter as a 300dpi
raster printer.  Grumble.  Maybe he should buy a LaserJet :-).

Unless you're debugging a new PS printer, what's the use of a ROM monitor,
beyond being able to say "I know something you don't know?"

Except for Type 1 fonts, I generally find that when I want to do something
that Adobe doesn't document, it's because I'm approaching the problem in
the wrong way.  LaserTalk is the only real exception, and that's only because
Adobe keeps not shipping Display PostScript for the Macintosh, even though
they also keep showing it at MacWorld as a "technology demonstration."

I suppose I can understand that they want Apple to support it, but this
seems to be an unrealistic hope at this point, and the success of ATM seems
to show that real live Display PostScript would have a pretty high demand
in the Macintosh market...
